That's one pretty pipe!

Thank you! I am very pleased with it so far! It reminds of your beautiful Dublin castle!

This morning the Comoys is having another go on the screened porch. The sky is blue and the temp at 70* should make for a nice outing. I picked up the Drew Estates 7th avenue blonde because I want to like it. It smells nice in the tin. We shall see what the French made new favorite pipe can do!

I like French pipes. Most of mine are. I like their classic shapes and that they're usually pretty light.

The.Sheepdog · 01-04-2015, 10:04 AM

The Comoys is lighter than the Boswells I am used to that is sure. I usually like bigger bowls and heavier pipes. The Comoys bowl is the size of a small egg in your hand.

This a first for the French made (English company) offerings for me and I like them so far!

My H&H Anniversary kake is on backorder so I am smoking whatever else I have. The Boswell is loaded with the sheepdog mix (autumn Evening/1q/BCA) for my mid day pipe.

See, I like to clench and light pipes are just more comfy. I'm a total noob, myself and I've had few problems with french pipes, so far. Just one really; a Chacom Alpina 28 with loose trim bands on the stem. I'm having them replaced with tortoise acrylic and the stem bent to a ¼ bend. Smokes great, though.

Esoterica St. Ives in a T. Christiano rusticated bent Dublin setter. I like this.

I haven't had any motivation to roast the 9 lbs of coffee I still have. I need to do some roasting. Maybe tomorrow!

How is the peruvian coffee? I'm not sure I've ever had any.

Taste darn good Brian! FC+ roast and medium-heavy body. I haven't had the time to roast as well, so, I purchased a 24oz/26oz bag from Cost Plus for $9.99. Good deal for that amount of roasted whole coffee. They also have same in 12oz/14oz bags too...

Great looking pipe Darren

Subvet642 · 01-07-2015, 11:15 PM

Thanks! It's a great smoker, too. I think I'm gonna dedicate this one to aro's, ones with additives, anyway.

The.Sheepdog · 01-08-2015, 10:19 AM

Lovely pipe! I learned along the way that aromatics kake quicker in new pipes. Most of what I have is aros anyway. This morning was C&D berries n cream in a Boswell big bowl then just now the Butz-Choquin Calabash had some C&D Autumn Evening. I am really getting to like it. Have not had any Anniversary yet. New stash of it just came in yesterday and probably needs some drying. It's now 55* and clear blue sunny skies here! I am spending a lot of time on the screen porch piping today while doing some laundry. Lucky me- more piping coming up!

Thanks! It sounds like you're having a great day; it's 13º with a wind chill of -2º here. Most of what I have are English and crossovers with a couple of true aro's and a couple of Virginias.

Yea but you get to smoke indoor in a nice chair!
