I've been importing Cuban cigars for years because I found them to be superior in flavor and construction. But then the construction got iffy, so I started to look for alternatives (which is basically the same drill as what Davidoff did on the manufacture side some years ago from what I...

Yup. a wonderful thing. Essentially the same as Johnny Walker Green but at half the price.

Earlier, HOTW in a Pete Standard System 305 Dublin that I'd put away a few years ago and forgot I even owned. It was just one of 40 pipes that I retired to get down to a more manageable 100. :) At the moment, I am enjoying a Partagas Serie D robusto accompanied by a drop of Martell VSOP. Nice...

Rattray's Hal O' The Wynd in a very nice Rattray Lobster bent billiard that I just bought. Limited edition, I have no. 94 out of 100 made, but not absurdly expensive. No fills that I can see, beautiful sterling band. The only catch is that it is a 9mm filter pipe, but I've gotten to like those...

Mac Baren HH Rustica Flake in Becker Morta Pick Axe.

Dobie's Four Square English in Pete Kinsale XL22 bent Dublin.

Dunhill Standard Mixture in Pete Sherlock Holmes Strand bent egg.

Mick McQuaid Plug in Dunhill Shell Briar 4103 billiard.

Yes, congratulations, you reminded me that the OL and I are headed to 46 years in August. I have a wall in the basement where I have recorded every year with a stroke. :) Anyway, I have several pre-2000 Petes that were not high end but excellent smokers anyway. Then when I got back into pipes...

Dobie's Four Square English in Sasieni Danzy XS bent bulldog. Never tried and of the Dobie blends before, this one is really good.

Dunhill Standard Mixture in Dunhill Shell Briar 4109 Canadian.

Mac Baren Navy Mixture in MM cob. Their Navy Flake is good, but I always preferred Mixture. Too bad they quit production around 2014, but at least I bought up a ton of it. :)
