Nice looking cuts! I’m a fan of the looks of the churchwarden style myself.

I am too, but i already have the stems for these pipes. i will probably make one of those eventually though!

Really look forward to seeing how you make a pipe from those pieces of briar. Hope you post some pic's along the way.

I think a brandy pipe would be cool. Will probably add one to my collection soon.

I will for sure be adding some progress pics. it'll probably be a bit of a drawn out project as i get some time here and there, but i will keep y'all updated on the progress.

@uacowboy those blocks instantly made me think of a freehand style in the vain of Eric Nording.

Lol not sure I'm ready to try something like that. Those are some truly beautiful works of art and I'm still learning the "rules" for making a decent pipe. Definitely going to do some sketches first I think. At least try to get an idea of what I'm going for. We'll see.

Wha

Pfffft. Have some faith man. Thats why its "freehand". Anything 'unintended' is a Bob Ross 'happy accident'.

Stepped out yesterday in the snow for some Iwan Reis Proper English in my Kirsten Jewel.

 

[ksblazer]

I like Stokkebye Proper English. I know you have mentioned that the Iwan Reis is one of your favorites. I've looked on their site and plan to place an order with them soon.

Want to start cellering some tobaccos to see how they do with age.

Sutliff English Oriental in the Kirsten

Was a relaxing smoke. Just what I needed tonight.

I wouldn't be completely surprised if it is the same blend, then again Iwan Ries, I believe does their own house blending. It has been one of my two staple bulk blends, the other being Iwan Ries Balkan Supreme.

 

[Spider]

I dig the look of those Kirstens!

 

[OpusX]

So I've had this Balkan Flake sitting about, but it is a bit strong all alone. Decided to mix it into what was left of this tin of Tsuge Raijin, a heavy Burley/Kentucky blend. It worked out quite well. Enjoyed it in my Kirsten lancer.

C&D Speakeasy Navy Flake tonight. First time trying it, liking it pretty well so far.

Peterson my mixture 965 in the Savinelli

 

[OpusX]

Enjoyed this last night. Wicked: The Haunting. Quite an excellent combination of corillio cigar leaf and Virginias. They did a perfect job combining these very divergent elements into a sweet and smokey combo.
