Mmm. Gotta love the stuff. I’ve got about an ounce left. I’ve heard others say this or that tastes like Penzance but I wasn’t even looking and noticed that Ahab’s Comfort by Watch City cigars reminds me a lot of it. I smoked bowls back to back to see too.
No worries. Yeah I do too. Watch City Slices, Ahab’s, Blend 558 and Old Dominion are great, I just tried Fat Bastard and Deluxe Crumb cut too which aren’t my normal choices but enjoyable. Of course I’ve got a ton of Rougaroux. :) I’ve heard good things about King’s Smoking Frog Morton match attempt too. Mentioned it on pipe and tamper podcast and I’m curious. I have to try everything. Lol. :)
I’ve tried King’s Frog and found it to be fairly close. Same with the Rouxgaroux though I missed out on grabbing another pound to cellar on the last drop.
This will be my first McClelland smoke ever, as well as my first Syrian Latakia. I was really excited to get the chance to try these not at absurd consignment prices. I feel very lucky. Not to mention my first esoterica/Germain’s. Happy new year, everyone!
I’ve been experimenting with brown rice at the bottom of the bowl based on a previous comment seen on a thread about using that as an alternative to pipe stones. Works like a charm so far and really hasn’t led to any negative feedback from me yet.
I also went to Jamaica on my honeymoon and I just packed a couple bowl fulls of 2 or 3 different blends in ziplock bags. Then two pipes and the tools in a pipe pouch which I wrapped in some shirts for extra protection. Everything went in my checked bag and I had no issues flying there or back

Thanks and appreciate the tip on Ahab’s Comfort. Will order some today. I love several Watch City blends but hadn’t tried that yet.

Cool, thank you!

Congrats and enjoy!
Thank you. I forgot to include it, but I also got a wee Reybert. How do you like yours? I'm excited to give it a go. So little!
Still loving mine. Perfect bowl for dog walking.
I’ve got a BC and a carpet shark too! Cheers!

100% would go walk about in that direction
Stonehaven is in my top 3. Would love to find a competitor to it since it’s so hard to come by.
The aces and deuces out of any deck of cards.

Love all things TAD but I have trouble justifying the cost of that pen myself.
National healthcare? 🤣 Sorry, I’ll see myself out.
Where did you get that leather smoking tray?
Anniversary gift from my wife. Believe she got it on Etsy.
Nice looking pipe. My favorite tobacco. Enjoy.
Thanks!

It’ll be fine if you are discreet. Take only the amount of tobacco you intend to smoke, wrap it up really good, and stash inside your pound of ganja.
Your confidence gives me confidence.

Awesome. Thank you for the help!
What’s the Etsy page?
You should ask the pipe maker/op.
Sometimes there are rules against self promotion, and since you mentioned it, I asked you. But by all means, keep it a secret.
Not a secret just feel he would be best to direct you on how best to acquire one of his pipes.
Congrats! Beautiful pipe.
That’s pretty hard to match or top… merry Xmas to you though!
Nice! What’ll you christen the (Nording?) pipe with?
Do you have a link? I'd much rather buy from the community
Search for AbbsArtisanPipes. I think direct links might be a violation. He makes gorgeous pipes.
these pipes look great and the price is very competitive
I definitely think his pipes are a great value. I’m almost certain my next pipe purchase will come from him.

That Neerup really grabs the eye. The other two look great as well. Happy smokes!
Didn’t like the hemp wick at first. Started using matches, switched back to hemp wick. Happy with hemp wick now.
Lunting with with a target! Love it.
That's a nifty looking bowl. Is it for a falcon pipe or something else? I really like the red coating.
Thanks! Yup, meerschaum falcon bowl. Looking forward to christening it with some SL this weekend hopefully.
Well done, sir!
Thank you!
