I love using that to help break a pipe in...

That's a great looking pipe Michael Looks like it will give you many good smokes. What's the length of the pipe and the bowl height?

It is 5 1/2" by 1 7/8". I smoked a bowl in the Icarus yesterday. Just some Carter Hall. I think someone recommended it to me once for breaking in pipes, I have been using it for that ever since. Though it is a good all around smoke. The pipe smokes nice and feels great in the mouth. Very happy with the purchase.

Just to show how far off the wagon I have fallen, here is yesterday's mail....



It is a Dagner Corn Cob Poker and a Dagner P6 Bulldog. The Cob is a neat little design. I think it is nice that Missouri Meerschaum is working with others on new designs. The distressed finish on the bulldog looks cool too. But I liked the Carbon Fiber band on it the most. I will try out the Bulldog later.

Nothing is expected in today's mail. It looks like the next couple of months could be rough ones. My custom meer order seems to be taking shape. There are a couple of other pipes I am looking at purchasing. I also may commission a custom Briar.

Does the Betty Ford Clinic have a PAD wing?
