Today, at long last, something a little different to make a photograph worthwhile. This one just arrived in the mael from a true Iowan Gentleman (thanks once again Phil). And I just gave it a test drive that was very pleasing to the soul. Now if I can just work out how to add my last initial to the stem...

Today is both a sad and a happy day. After finishing my breakfast, a very large cuban coffee, eggs, sausage, turkey, bacon, peppers, onions, cheese and potatoes, and my morning pipe it dawned on me what I had done...I have just finished my first actual tin of tobacco. I've finished off pouches of Carter hall, prince Albert and Granger before but never a hard tin. The tin was SG's chocolate flake and a story of love and hate. When I first opened the tin I hated it, it was a pain to keep lit, bitey, the taste was off I was having trouble rubbing out the flake. Well after about 11 months of cellaring out of distaste I was running low and decided I'd give it a try, most of my other had become too dry during a move. After revisiting it I love the everything about it. In just over three months I've managed to smoke through my entire tin and forget to order more for aging. O well I guess I had better order two, one for smoking and another for my backup aging.

You know Mick... I don't know what you look like but it seems like that pipe would fit you in OZ... That is a nice looking pipe... Looks better in Aussie Land than in Iowa...

C&D Billy Budd (multiple bowls) in a Whitehall Grand National and my Butt Ugly Rhodesian. Very nice indeed.

Thanked: 609 Dr. Grabow Duke
OK... I was going to hold off on this post but I just can't...
This is my first pipe, a Dr. Grabow Duke... It saw many bowls of Cpt. Black and was always nice to smoke... Probably my best smoking pipe... I put it away for a few years and brought it back out 3 years ago...
So a few weeks ago I was talking to Eric King (Omar King) about a refurbish... He got the new stem in today so I'm thinking I should see the pipe sometime next week... Another Tuxedo and about 5.5" long compaired to 6.5"...
