Requiem's pipe journal

[Curly Cut]

very nice. i like that new Stanny HCA. i have a golden danish as well, but not as big/long as that one in your photo (mine is a tiny nosewarmer i use for strong GH&Co blends).

Thanks, man.

Next weekend I will cross the ocean to visit the US. In Fall River I'll go to "The Old Firehouse", the local B&M. If I have the chance, "LJ Perreti" is the place to go in Boston, I ear.
What about in Manhattan? Any pipe shop worth a visit?
I´m not planning to buy much, as I already have 3 pipes waiting for me and more tobacco then what I'm allowed to re-enter in europe with... however, I want to get 5 or 6 MM cobs and one pipe reamer... maybe another pipe if I catch a really good deal, or maybe a Dr. Grabow (just for being a classic).

Meanwhile, here's a pic with my wife at last weekend's picnic with a big group of friends. Gorgeous, isn´t she?


On the HCA: after about 8 1/3 bowls, yesterday I had a 2/3 bowl of BBF... still extremely hot. I guess it can´t really handle virginias.
Also, I found an old thread on other forum where a fellow member was having the same problem.
Beware, people interested in buying one... I just hope it handles english/balkans better.

(sorry, will post soon)
