Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
Have you tried it? Virginias & Perique sound good, but then they added Rum... So, I am very skeptical!

My uncle used to chew plug tobacco, and when he was done, he'd leave it sit on a fence post. A couple days later he'd check it out, and if dry enough stick it in his cob to smoke. He used to do Redman and Levi Garrett. It was too moist and too sweet to smoke right off, but after a morning or afternoon of vigorous chewing, he said, "It mellows out nice. And if it don't rain, it smokes pretty good after a couple days of sun drying." I have always wanted to try that, but I just couldn't get past how sweet it was in the mouth. Used to chew my share of Redman, but never got the courage to put it in my pipe and smoke it. Let me know what you think. Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
So I picked up a new radiator from Hekthor. Added a funky custom Nutcracker bowl, and we are ready to dim he lights and turn on the lava lamp!
Hekthor has a new stem - I do like it. Check out his site: http://www.hwiebe.com

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
This is my latest. It is a BriarWorks Icarus Smooth Volcano. I love the lines on it. It reminds me of something Japanese. My oply complaint is the stem is a little loose, but a couple of rubs of Beeswax will take care of that!!! I look forward to christening it later on with some Carter Hall. I love using that to help break a pipe in.

I will agree though, I like the shape and the lines of that one, very nice. Looks also to be of a generous size. A quick disclaimer, FOR MY OWN PERSONAL TASTES I am NOT a fan of silver/brass/gold on a pipe. I can look at them as such, but could not bring myself to own such.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
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.

I'm scared of Neil.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
Those radiator pipes are certainly interesting. I'm still not sure how I feel about this since I am more traditional. I have to admit it does look cool.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
That's cool Steve. The silver ring is different and very nice indeed.
Looks perfect for flakes.
