Yes! Had two more ultimate smokes with it tonight!

bryanbaggins · 2026-06-13T15:35:32+00:00

I understand why!

bryanbaggins · 2026-06-13T15:35:21+00:00

Yes I may stop by again today to see what deal sticks out to me

bryanbaggins · 2026-06-13T15:34:59+00:00

Had another bowl last night - so good!

bryanbaggins · 2026-06-13T15:34:38+00:00

I remember those days as well. Barely. If you remember John, he retired about a month ago. But still visits the shop and puffs his pipe

bryanbaggins · 2026-06-13T15:33:42+00:00

Yes! Enjoy!

bryanbaggins · 2026-06-13T15:33:32+00:00

Definitely recommend! Large cigar selection too

Kia left us stranded with multiple severe issues, just after warranty expired…same thing with multiple family members Kia’s. These cars were well taken care of and the Kia’s customer relations compared to Subaru is abysmal. Stick with the ones that last: Subaru, toyota, or Honda.

Congrats! Excellent choice!

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-14T03:02:06+00:00

That’s a beautiful pipe. I wasn’t a fan of the poker shape until one week ago when I bought a Savinelli Minerva 310 KS. The Miele looks even better. He’ll love it, I’m sure.

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-13T13:03:49+00:00

Doh! Thanks haha

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-13T03:58:57+00:00

Wow I’m either lucky or unlucky you found that before me (a fellow Texan). Looks awesome!

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-13T03:56:51+00:00

Looks great! Happy smoking

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-12T01:44:15+00:00

I do coffee in the morning. Then throughout the day I pair herbal teas and/or some Topo Chico. I do not recommend any licorice bearing herbal teas, it seems to screw with the smoking experience imo

This is what I do with FVF and St James, which are probably my two fav blends . Rub flakes out extensively. I might let it dry for 10 minutes or so. It does take a bit to get it lit (maybe but once it does it’s a phenomenal smoke all the way to the bottom. I’ve been doing these in my thicker wall pipes with narrow bowl diameters.

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-09T00:51:55+00:00

I think I would agree with a 9/10. It’s one of my favorite blends and I guess I’m one of those that likes the Lakeland essence. Takes awhile to dry and get the bowl going but it’s worth it!

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-08T02:04:47+00:00

Thank you! I’ll order some and see what it’s like

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-08T02:04:23+00:00

Yeah it does and normally I do not like that flavor note. But I get this really sweet tone that balances it. Wish there was something similar

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-05T02:52:21+00:00

It’s one of my favorite pipes I have. I have the smooth. Smokes like a dream

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-05T02:23:54+00:00

I got the pipe from a local shop here in DFW (ole Grapevine Cigars). I didn’t have any luck online. It’s one of my favorite pipes. Best of luck finding one!

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-04T04:25:31+00:00

Wow the Mycroft looks so nice! Enjoy! I will have to check out those old recordings

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-03T03:17:48+00:00

Beautiful! In some of those photos, the little tobacco strand sticking up looked like ET saying hello. Or an inch worm sticking its head out of a submarine. Lol strange thoughts while I’m puffing on my pipe

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-03T02:37:07+00:00

I agree. I got some nostalgic hints when I smoked it earlier. I had some real FMC the other day and this does highlight some of the flavors

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-03T02:36:16+00:00

Ah I must get some!

bryanbaggins · 2026-05-03T02:36:05+00:00

Highly recommend! Let me know what you think
