Pipers sound off if you’re present

[Woodpecker]

Pulled out the Monte Verde for a quick smoke break today... my old service manager gave me his pipe when his uncle passed a few years ago...not smoking anything fancy, just some Captain Black cherry flavor today...

I also have a 50s dr grabow from my great grandfather, and a MM cob from my grandfather that are in the rotation...

Not sure what ages every one in here is but locally i get wierd looks smoking a pipe like this as a 36 yr old.... the Monte Verde is an absolutely gorgeous pipe in my opinion....

That Mont Verde is beautiful! That would be in what they call a “free hand” style and was likely hand carved by the craftsman that carved it.

If I may, I’d suggest not smoking any aromatic blends like the captain black cherry in that one. It could ghost it. That simply means it can give it a permanent cherry smell/flavor so that everything you smoke in it will have a hint of cherry. It’s ultimately up to you but food for thought. That corn cob pipe won’t likely ghost though.

I appreciate the input, the amount that i smoke, both in each bowl... i pack maybe a half a pinch in the bottom of the bowl, usually about 2-3min worth of relaxing after dealing with a very stressful job, (today it was trying to figure out why an ariens efi snow blower isnt running right, still havent figured it out... ), and the amount of times i smoke in a year (this is the 4th time i have picked up a pipe this year LOL) i kind of doubt there will be too much ghosting... besides, i pretty much either smoke the captain black cherry, C.B. bourbon, or Peter Stokkebye sweet vanilla, so if there is any ghosting, the flavors are complimentary

For a 30 dollar Amazon pipe/combo deal, this is still a decent garage pipe. This is a good blend from MM as well.

As I've spent more time with specific tobacco types, instead of blends, I've noticed it's getting a bit easier to pick certain flavors out of blends. Latakia is becoming very noticeable for me and that's not a bad thing. I'm liking it.

This new C&D holiday blend sounds interesting:

Another fantastic blend by Missouri Meerschaum. The 30 dollar Amazon special is still going strong.

One of my favorite combinations; MM Dwarf Cobbit and some Sutliff 507c. Really enjoying Virginia's. The short, but wide chamber on this pipe makes for a nice cool smoke.

Awesome combo! The MM Bing would be another great choice for Virginias

Yes Sir, it is! I really like that pipe as well.

And this is 507-S, not 507-C. Not sure how I got off on my label, but I did.

Thanks, man! I see they don't sell it currently, but have a sapphire blue stem one. I can't get enough of these long-ish stems.

They really are the ticket for Virginia and Virginia heavy blends

Having a personal favorite today after work. Rivendell from the country squire is an aromatic blend of black cavendish, Virginia, and burley. It’s a nutty earthy smoke with hints of coco and spicy grassy twang from the Virginia. Little to no tongue bite and tasty to the bottom of the bowl. Smoked in my rusticated Savinelli one. Anyone else a pipe smoker here?

Wouldn't mind trying some of that in my pipe.
In the UK would pay for it and the postage. Not sure if you can ship a packet through customs. Pm me
Cheers

I actually thought you guys had the better pipe blends in the uk. I could be misinformed though. I’ve had some plug tobaccos shipped here from over there

Go straight to the source mate. I’m sure they will set you up. Cheers

That’s a rad pipe!

Thanks, man! Pretty small bowl for how beefy the rest of the pipe is, but it smokes good. The chamber walls are probably 1/4" and the stem is every bit of a 1/2".
