Nice! Have you ever smoked a falcon before?

That apple really catches the eye too.

Yes, I've smoked a straight one many times; I like the way they smoke.

I don't think that apple has ever been smoked; it looks new.

Came home extremely tired after a long few days at work to find my order of things to try from Smoking Pipes arrived. I think my wife was more excited than I was when I told her what it all actually cost. I was however too tired to take a decent picture.

One 50g tin each of:
Orlik Golden Sliced
Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky
Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture
Dunhill Dark Flake
McClelland Balkan Blue

Bulk 1oz samples of:
Peter Stokkebye Cube Cut
Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired Ready Rubbed
Mac Baren Golden Extra
Dunhill Nightcap
C&D Dark Chocolate
C&D Big 'n' Burley
C&D Old Joe Krantz
GH&Co Kendal Kentucky
GH&C Bob's Chocolate Flake
McClelland 5100 - Red Cake
Lane 1-Q

Plus pipe cleaners and a new pipe tool. Figure these should cover many of the varieties out there, in addition to what I already have.

Well, you've got a LOT of tobaccos to try!

Lordy, I hope that doesn't come about. I've smoked DF longer than any tobacco in my current rotation. And DLNR almost as long (and it's one of the most nobel tobaccos ever made).

On Friday, I ordered a special edition Dr. Grabow pipe from the factory. It is called Liberty and it commemorates the 130th anniversary of the dedication of the statue of liberty. There are two shapes, bent and straight, and two finishes, rusticated and smooth. I opted for the straight pipe, which is a billiard, and the smooth finish. The ordering process was like taking a step back in time about 25 years ago... the only way to do the transaction was to mail them a check or money order. That's okay though, I'm not complaining.
