My Omar King and 7mm Remington Magnum tamper. This pipe only gets Mississippi River.





I love the Eric's unstained finish, over time the wood is darkening and picking up more pronounced grain.

This was back in April when it first arrived.

that is a really cool idea for a tamp. did you make it?

I got it from this guy: Metalmorphist - YouTube

He used to have a website for ordering, but looks like the domain is not active anymore.

Thank you. Hmm I think I have a misfired 30-06 laying around here somewhere.

30-06, .303, .243...I might have to make my own. I like that Tamper. Wonder how the local police would take to it if I used one in public though?!

I would hope they'd be able to figure out that you haven't concealed a rifle on your person to go with the single bullet.

That wouldn't stop them from arresting me on a weapons charge...! Todays pipes are Peterson and MM Cob.

He's only been on the pipe side of tobacco for a little while and is just getting away from the OTC heavy bulk aro's from Walgreens, so I thought I'd send him a decent sampler of couple different styles. I wonder would there be any interest in doing a brown leaf secret santa program for the pipe and cigar smokers next year? Do yall think the Mods would be ok with this as there is no money changing hands only a randomly selected "child" getting a gifts from an autonomous gifter.

That sounds like what I'm looking for. Something stronger. But not kick my but strong

I'd look at University flake as opposed to Irish flake. I havnt had the pleasure of trying it yet but I hear its an N bomb

Exactly, that also happens to be one of the reasons I got in to pipes. I couldn't afford my cigar habit anymore. Now I actually prefer the briar as I have a much larger selection of tobacco and tastes to choose from at a price that is equal to a stick or two.

Maybe a English or Virginia blend? Any suggestions?

Try C&D OJK, peterson university flake, SG chocolate or Navy flake, or Esoterica Pembroke. All except OJK are very light aro's, and the latter three are english bases. Navy flake has a light rum casing and Pembroke with a light cognac casing.

Today I'll use the Stanwell X-mas and the Les Wood

Have a nice day.
