It does look like new.

Interesting.

Any specific reason why it needs to be fired to be cleaned?

I presume Askwith is a custom pipe artisan.

No, the artisan in question is African Hardwood Pipes, Jonathan Taylor.

I've just ordered myself a Morta bowl devil anse pipe with an acrylic stem from the artisan I got my two previous pipes.

Hopefully will be finished in time for a Christmas wrapping, labelled "To...

Thanks for the tips Gents.

I peeled off some thin sheets from the brick and then tore them up into small pieces.

Going to smoke it tonight in the Petersen.

I bought some Peterson's Perfect Plug from the local tobacconist without realising that it is a hard compressed square brick of tobacco.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to prepare...

I sent an email to the artisan who made my two RC's, so I'll see what he has to say about making one.

Anyone on here that has a Devil Anse pipe?

Thoughts?

I rather like the look of them and fancy buying myself one for Christmas.

Thanks for the word of warning.

My new Peterson.

I've just bought myself a Peterson Aran 03 from a local tobaconnist.

Nice and lightweight compared to my Reverse Pokers.

I've been quietly puffing away on my recent additions and am still trying out various samples.
I was fortunately PIF'd about 15 tobacco samples from a fellow SA wet-shaver and as I go through the...

Thanks Dave.

Arrived on my desk earlier today.

Just received these Tobacco samples from a fellow South African wet shaver.

So am I :D
Hopefully, I'll get some over the weekend as the artisan reckons, the hard part is over.

Got some WIP pics of the pipes I've ordered.

A lovely collection ZipZop.

I popped around to one of our local tobacconists this afternoon and bought a sample bag of testers., each being 10gr.

The mixes are their own blends and this is what was I got:


Dutch Type...

So in preparation for my conversion to a pipe smoker, I hauled out an old Zippo which I've probably had for the best part of 35 years.

I gave it a clean, replaced the wick, put in a new flint,...

I didn't wait to order that Briar bowl, I did it last night with an Ebony stain. :)

Anyway, any suggestions for suitable tobacco for a novice to try out? Obviously everyone has different tastes...

I've gone and done it.

I ordered a RC Poker made from Olive Wood with a silver accent ring and a semi-translucent green stem from a local pipe maker. I should receive it before the end of the...

I've seen so many good and well crafted pipes recently that I'm even considering buying myself one.
