Mr. Loony,

To the best of my knowledge, the Danes created the first "freehand" pipes. One common feature is a "tableaux" or, unfinished/rough top. Most are half bent. Almost all are rather large. The Missouri Meerschaum Freehand does, sort of, resemble my old Preben Holm Danish Freehand here:



I love my Country Gentleman. I will likely get a Freehand next with a Walker "Forever Stem".

yes, i to love my country gentleman, if you look back a few pages, the 2 pipes are a bewlay churchwarden, and i have a 8" forever stem in my country gentleman, than is more than likely the pipe it will be used in. a freehand with the forever stem would be nice, but i have enough pipes for now, maybe later this year i will invest in one.

curious where bouts is southside, or is that a name for the martinsville/danville area

With a nice coffee and Jamesons with Pembroke in my Viking.

Saturday morning..time for a Les Wood

That is interesting, Thomas. How would you describe that Jacaranda tobacco? I've never tried, but i've seen it for sale at the local tobacco store.

Tropic fragrance!
Nothing for you, I think!
