LOL! Tell her it took about 45-60 minutes of soaking, scrubbing, sanding and polishing. Thanks again for that flake you made! That was one of the best gifts I've received all year, considering it was hand made. I've still got a couple of bowls of your Peach Latakia flake! Happy New Year!

Got a baccy order in today.
4 different Dunhill blends. I got:
Ye Ol' Sign
Dark Flake
3 year Matured Virginia
Ready Rubbed
I haven't tried any except for the Ready Rubbed which I love.
Also picked up some Sutliff Match Elizabethan to compare to the Dunhill, which I'm a fan of.
Also got a 1 oz sample of Sam Gawith Chocolate Flake. Don't generally like heavily flavored stuff but I've heard it isn't that strong and it sounds interesting.
Check out my Youtube channel, Razorback Piper Guy if you like that sort of thing.

Got this "The Pipe" on Ebay from Caking1960, a seller that I recommend. Most of "The Pipes" on Ebay have chewed up stems and I don't know if you can replace them because of the o-ring on the tenon. This one is in excellent shape and does not have a cake built up in the bowl - another thing to look out for. You're not supposed to let a cake build up in these, like meerschaums and clays.

Thanks! The shank may appear round in the picture, but it's actually oval shaped.

Got these from my favorite Ebay seller, "Judperl". The two briars are Cellinis and the meerschaum is an SMS.

Nice! Especially like that meerschaum. Don't care for the really fancy meers, prefer the traditional shapes rendered in meerschaum.
