My own Plum Joe Krantz in a vintage Stanwell HCA. Awesome execution on this one, the Birdseye, silver and gold really put this one at the front of any remuda. |

Notzek Strang in a Charles Maas from 1885. Dang, my oldest pipe is from 1898. It's got a cracked amber stem so I don't smoke it but about once every 2 years. It's a super pipe. I wish I could find someone who worked with amber to redo the stem. |

Eleven years off....my grandmother's birth year was 1899...if it was her birth year, I would have to do some heavy arm twisting. I have this bible, the spine is duct taped, but her notes are priceless. She was a pen pal of Colonel Sanders, and sat under the teaching of G. Campbell Morgan.  I had Mike Myers make an acrylic stem for this one, the amber is put up and away from my careless clutches. |

This one is still smokeable, so I will continue as is. Not worth a new stem when I have so many other pipes. |

Be careful you may need a new stem and old sawbones may say you are not worth it.
PLM!
Pipe lives matter!

OGS in the Former-designed Bentley prince: I have a few princes (not at that pedigree), but they are fine smokers. I think that the shape does not get the recognition that it deserves....I do not see a lot of interest by the artisan pipe makers in this shape, but I might have missed it. |

I think that the shape does not get the recognition that it deserves....I do not see a lot of interest by the artisan pipe makers in this shape, but I might have missed it. It's probably my favorite shape, so it would make sense if the rest of the world is losing interest in it.  I haven't noticed a lack of them from artisan makers. That definitely doesn't mean there isn't one. It just means I haven't noticed it. I'm trying to mentally go through my artisan pipes and think if I have one. I don't think I do. Well, I do have a Cavicchi, but it's kind of a nontraditional prince. You might well be onto something. A shame, if true. |

Almost done with this tin of haddos delight. Haddo is not delighted, the remains should be put into another open tin...kind of like sourdough starter. |

I’m smoking Aberrant in a Butz Choquin calabash. This tobacco really has me captivated. Even though I’ve nearly finished the tin, I still don’t think I could adequately describe it. Sure, I can identify the components, but I have to concentrate to do that, however the experience of smoking it goes far beyond its components for me. I’m not sure I could give a higher compliment to a blend than that. Really well done Mr. Jensen and the Sutliff team!

I’m not sure I could give a higher compliment to a blend than that. Really well done Mr. Jensen and the Sutliff team! CO/TR. "Aberrant is a complex and robust mixture emboldened by Brazilian Rustica tobacco. A sister plant to Nicotiana tobacum — the Caribbean leaf from which all modern Virginias, Burleys, Orientals, and other varietals originate — Nicotiana rustica is a historic species of tobacco native to the Americas, and is renowned for its hearty strength and earthy, spicy character. Though certainly the star of the show, Aberrant's Rustica is balanced by a selection of fine Red, Bright, and stoved Virginias, tempering the leaf's strong, piquant profile with natural sweetness and tang, while a gentle portion of Dark-Fired Kentucky adds just a hint of mesquite-like smoke. The resulting amalgam is an impressively full smoking mixture with a surprising sweetness and complexity." |

Finishing a bowl of Mac Baren Symphony in a St. Regis pot.
The Birds of a Feather series and Pipe Force series are very innovative. They are taking things to a darker and more complex narrative in pipe smoking and of the many I’ve tried, primarily Pipe Force I-VI and Uno, they’re incredibly unique. Some of the rustica and dark fired Kentucky Pipe Force blends are like a sweet and mesquite smoked tangy BBQ profile with underlying hints at sweet red VA and burley, and there’s not always Latakia even in there. A couple do lean more into Latakia but one of them was rustica and hot pressed Katerini and the flavor is just excellent and piquant. Makes me hungry.
