Been awhile since I visited the site, but I stumbled upon the link when looking through my bookmarks. While I don't smoke my pipes nearly as often as I once did (back in the Stokers Haven days), today's walk this morning out at the park included a very enjoyable smoke in the meerschaum poker...

Where is that like button!?!? This is such a true statement (IMO).

It is one of my favorites. Love when it comes up in rotation.

C&D Longevity in a CAO latticed meerschaum.  Got the pipe in a Stokers Haven boxpass in 2003 or 2004. The tobacco is a tin from when C&D first introduced the blend. That tropical storm is headed this general direction, so it’s as humid as the inside of a sweat lodge and no air movement. That...
