Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
What is it that makes a pipe better for certain tobacco types?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
The bowl is tapered, which allegedly allows for a folded flake to be stuffed in and burn easily without rubbing it out. So far my baby Dunhill bulldog handles flakes the best, and it isn't tapered.
I've had limited success so far, with the bowl getting nasty hot. Not sure if it is a lower quality briar, thin wall, or hot burning Virginia tobacco. My quest continues.....

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
Let me know your thoughts on the Samovar Mark. I'm thinking of grabbing some McC Smyrna #1 and GLP Embarcadero now that the Oriental bug has bitten.
I have an unwrapped box at home that should contain 2 tins of Escudo and a tin of Dan Tobacco's Gordan Pym. 4pm cannot come quick enough. |

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
I've been trying to post my pipe picture for awhile now, finally had the opportunity this morning.
I'd like to thank nutcracker for his generous pipe tobacco sampler he sent with his hockey pool cigars. I can't take credit for the pipes, my lovely spouse purchased all of them for me. The pipe stand was purchased at an antique store in Comfort, TX during my visit attending my brother's wedding. They had several different styles to choose from, I don't know how old it is, but it was well worth the $40, ditto again to my spouse, she wouldn't leave without it. |

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
To many choices and not enough time. When Neil said he'd send some samples my way, I thought wonderful 3 or 4 different varieties from someone with more experience, I wasn't ready for the nearly dozen samples he sent. I wish I were home more often.
