Gonna enjoy the evening sun on my balcony with a little 4noggins Weybridge in a brand new MM Diplomat.

Carmel pipe shop's 965 match in a Dunhill Chestnut Cumberland Hungarian...
Tonight I'm having some Boswell's Magnum Blend in my late grandfather-in-law's Custombilt Original 663. The tobacco (seemingly opposite the name) is a nice mild English. This pipe has a large bowl & is the best smoker of his collection. I think the shape is somewhere between an apple & a pot, but I'm no expert. Does anybody know anything about this brand?
Also, the pipe had one major flaw when I got it:
Looks like he was either a major clincher or somebody just mishandled it. I'm guessing the latter.
Any recommendations on who would be best suited to fab a new stem? I like would the new one to be close to the original bend & shape with a fishtail, but I am open to other colors & materials.

Yeah, I recommend this guy http://www.nightowlpipeworks.com/home/index.html, He re-stemmed my Jobey and did an excellent job, he takes his time and does it right, I don't recommend Tim West, I had a bad experience with a re-stem he did.Tonight I'm having some Boswell's Magnum Blend in my late grandfather-in-law's Custombilt Original 663.

Last night I enjoyed a bowl of Butternut Burley in my Tinsky LE. It was very pleasant. Even with my bad puffing habits, this tobacco burned tongue bite free. On the other hand, I did have to relight many many times, despite the reviews I read on Smokingpipes. I guess I still haven't figured it out yet.
It left me calm, cool, and satisfied and the flavor did not linger in my mouth too long. I really enjoyed it!

Drove in this morning with SWR in a Sav Bent Apple
This morning I am still working on the box of 7 year old PSLNF I have open. I am burning it in a very old Comoy full bent I found last night hidden in a corner. I had to spend a few minutes with the Magic Eraser on the stem to remove the oxidation.

Hadn't smoked my cob for a looong time, but last night had a bowl of Sir Walter. It was very nice.
Nice afternoon with some Escudo in the ninja tomato.

MacBaren's Old Dark fired in a Todd Bannard (BST Pipes) commissioned pipe (I've named it the Chubby Dublin).

The Chubby Zulu?
Nah, the Zulu by nature were never chubby. Perhaps "The Matterhorn", it looks like a mini whatchamacallit from those Riccola cough-drop commercials!
It's an awesome pipe no matter what you call it.
