...this evening, as the byline states, "when a feller needs a friend" a bowl of 1985 tin of HOW Briggs pipe mixture in a 1958 group 4 Dunhill straight shell billiard... :cheers:

“The pipe draws wisdom from the lips of the philosopher, and shuts up the mouth of the foolish; it generates a style of conversation, contemplative, thoughtful, benevolent, and unaffected.”-William Makepeace Thackeray, from The Social Pipe
 
3 Oaks Syrian in a Castello Old Antiquari #33 tonight... These tins came in yesterday & I was pretty excited to light up a bowl. I'm noticing more sweet VAs here compared to the McC Wilderness I tried a couple nights ago.

Wow! What a killer Castello! It's not everyday that a Castello cathes my fancy but that one is a seriously handsome pipe! No doubt it smokes superbly :cheers:

I've been considering 3 Oaks Syrian for sometime. I don't dedicate too much of my time or budget to Latakia blends so it's rare for me to buy new lat blends to try. I have enjoyed several of McClellands Syrian blends in the past...

Yo Yak, get a pic up of the new kitty!
Got the picture taken, Mr. E., but can't find the cable that connects to camera to the computer. Once we find that, I'll e-mail it to you & you can post it if you like. Cute little bugger.

Tonight, FVF in a lane-era Charatan 2109 Special (bbd). Lucite replacement stem. Traded Frenchy a Dunhill Root billiard & a Barling for it, years ago, & glad I did.

:cheers:
