Zippo, A couple of questions for you, sir. In looking at the pic of the Full English Breakfast, there are some items that I do not recognize: the black circular items and the triangular objects stand out. For life of me I cannot understand how anyone could eat tomatoes or baked beans for...

Welcome to you. I'm from Aiken and ama Clemson grad, too ('67). You came to a great place for info, suggestions, and comradeship.

Proper English is my daily first bowl, and it's good. I do not have finely developed palate, but I do like that blend a lot. Good luck in your search, since there's plenty to experiment with.

I bought my first pipe in about 1965-66 from Smokers Haven in Columbus, OH. I still have that GBD bent bulldog Without a mentor to explain the intricacies of pipe smoking and the "fiddliness" of the pastime, I moved to cigs for the next 40 years or so. I quit them about 10 years ago and...

Beautiful car, Singed.

Tim, Where did you live and what did you do here? I taught middle school history here for about 30 years and live in Aiken Estates.

Tim, I'm a SC resident, too, and welcome you to the group. I live in Aiken, so it's good to see a fellow Sandlapper here.

I like it a lot, since I can clench it despite a wobbly partial. It's a Silk cut pipe with a light brown/tan stain and a short saddle bit. I like lovats and Canadians, so it fits in well.

Thanks. I'll see if I can get one of those, since I have a couple of their blankets bought years ago.

PD, I like the cup a lot. Where did you get it?

Jim, I checked it out, and ir is a Sutliff blend. Thanks.

HR, Who makes that blend? If I can find it, I'll try an ounce. What's in it?
