After a light supper (in the Navy, dinner is supper and I was Navy, so this explains that), I am enjoying some Rattray Sir William in my Shell Briar 4106 ebonite mount (2015).

I've been on a cigar kick lately, so have been smoking my pipes less. However, I have been enjoying the occasional bowl of my burly mix and English blends. It cooled down a bit up here this evening, and I decided to give the oft spoken of "Bald Headed Teacher" a try. A nice tangy blend, with a bit of leathery undertone. I look forward to trying it in a few different pipes.

I agree, the pipe is beautiful. By natural, is it stained or will it darken naturally from smoking? I just saw that it is stained. This is great love the orange color and grain. |

My first bowl of Palmetto Balkan for the first bowl in my new Savinelli Punto Oro Classic Natural 106 Billiard. I have one that looks very similar to that. Mines a 114ks I believe, but it's a Mon Amì, made for special friends of the factory. I'll never smoke it. |

This is great love the orange color and grain. Savinelli's Smooth Natural finish is a light color of stain. I have quite a few Savs with this finish and they darken with use |

Palmetto Balkan kinda reminds me of Presbyterian but with slightly sharper Orientals. I think it will age great based on being on my second bowl from an 11 day old tin in my Erik Nielsen Billiard.  |

Been a busy day. Three Friars in the Monday cob, to and from mowing an older relative's lawn with my son. More Three Friars while doing a little gardening at home. Royal Yacht in the Monday cob at son's house, while helping out in his yard. A cigar and a couple beers with him after work & dinner. Finishing a bowl of McConnell Barking Road in the drunken, fluted cherrywood, as I make this post.  |

Congrats on that beautiful pipe! Thanks for the review of Palmetto, I just ordered 2 tins. The plus is I love Presbyterian. Do you just load up a pipe a pipe and smoke it yo break it in, or do you have a regimen? |

Today we celebrated The Princess' birthday. After dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, I reviewed one of her upcoming speeches over a couple bowlfuls of "English Mystery" in the Willard Lovat with Cardinal Spirits Bourbon (neat) to accompany. Hemingway said, "Write drunk, edit sober." I have found this to be excellent advice. It served me well through both Seminary and my doctorate. It continues to pay dividends.  |

Congrats on that beautiful pipe! Thanks for the review of Palmetto, I just ordered 2 tins. The plus is I love Presbyterian. Do you just load up a pipe a pipe and smoke it yo break it in, or do you have a regimen? For the first bowl, I fill it almost full in order to properly say hello and start getting acquainted. Then, I smoke half bowls for the next 10 to 15 bowls in order to get a good start on heel cake. With full bowls, I find they I build wall cake faster than heel cake. 🤷♂️ |
