TSC Smoke Lounge

Latest acquisition and clean up. A "Companion" labeled Kirsten "K" mark Companion with a sandblasted rustic mandarin large bowl. A pinch of Gaslight said this will be a good pipe.

It’s actually sunny and calm today. Any tips on how smoking this is different than a standard pipe?

So how do you like it?

I need to dial this baby in. The first 1/3 bowl was constant relights. I think I packed it too tight thinking the bowl is so small it will only last a few min. I dumped the ashes, added some more shreds (probably should have just expanded what was in there) and gave it another go. Had to fight it for a while again but then it hit its stride and smoked like a champ. Then the landlord needed info about the furnace which had stopped working sometime in the night and I had to rush the rest of it. I was surprised how long it did last anyway so hopefully I’ll pack it looser next time.
 
It will probably take you a few bowls to get it good and dialed in. At least it did for me with my first radiator pipe. Once you figure it out they are really cool.
