    Some type of powder/polymer coating, take a look at Precision Bullets out of Kemp, TX I've shot close to 20,000 in the last two years. Great clean, accurate and easy loading bullets.

    Leopold Bros. a local artisan distillery here makes excellent spirits from Gin,Vodka,liqueurs and Absinthe . Here we have a wonderful Western slope peach liqueur with a Butz Choquin Diam loaded with Pilots mix from my local. Yeah I know , I should branch out a little. But I love my Pilots mix.

    A new acquisition for me. A Savinelli Morino bulldog. So far great smoker as all my Savinelli pipes have been. I am becoming a fan of this maker because the draft holes have been spot on with the drilling and alignment and I can smoke them with or without the balsa filter with the included 6mm to 3mm reducer with no issues getting a pipe cleaner into the bowl of needed. I cant say that about some of my other pipes. Great pipes for the money Imo. These pipes seem much more burnout resistant than some of my other makes for whatever reason which suits me fine as I can be a little rough on them from time to time. I'm getting better with my cadence. been smoking mostly Vapers and Burleys in this one loving it so far. Enjoy your weekend smokes. Cheers!

    Haven't heard a bad word about Savinellis either. Just like old time Stanwells, the ones that were made in Denmark. I guess those were once top 2 brands here in Finland. Along with Finnish brand Tanner. Moderately priced, good smokers.

    About to smoke some Tuarekh from my Punto Oro. Fresh & cold Kölsch on the side.

    Well happy International Pipe Smokers Day. Of course I had to get another for the occasion. A fine smoking Rattray's 66 Kyloe Canadien and regardless of the photo I celebrated my first bowl with some Haunted Bookshop. Enjoy your pipes today.
