2015 Gawith Hoggarth Louisiana Flake in a 1940s Barling's Make Ye Olde Wood #1372R, smooth, taper billiard with coffee light.

I've loaded this pipe to smoke it after a Pinar del Rio Seleccione, let it dry some and see if I like it that way.

Somehow, I got the last 2 fish in the pond transfer, these are a pair of ultra-wary fish but I think that they'll like their new home.

Just received this pipe today from Smoking Pipes after @SirMotoyoshi alerted me that it was for sale and it was bought in seconds. Than you Andrew!

Big billiard, beautiful balance and easy in the mouth. Even with a loose stuff it took about 7-8 grms of tobacco and I've been smokng it for almost 3 hours with no end in sight.

I rarely smoke flakes in anything other than thick walled smooth pipes that retain a little more heat than rough surface pipes. The retained heat warms the VA flakes, bringing out the sugars and making them smoke sweeter. This pipe has the dimensions to be a flake smoker but the sandblasting disburses the heat slightly faster and that mutes the sweetness and increases the 'nuttiness'. I will smoke more flakes in this one, it's smoking superbly, but I'll stick with the smooths for most of my VA smokes. This pipe might well pair well with Royal Yacht, so that will be next for this bruiser.[/QUOTE]

That much RY should put hair on your chest.
