What could I gain by standing in the rain and fighting traffic besides a headache?Bruyere_Royale wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 3:38 pmYou should of made a day of it. That would have been something to see in person.

Good morning, smoking dark aromatic flake in a English made system 314 and drinking my usual brew.
Father Tom, wishing your daughter well.

Thanks... I leave the house at 5:30 or so on Friday. I usually get home by 2, which is about the time she gets up some days. I will find out how she is doing later.Bruyere_Royale wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 7:14 amGood morning, smoking dark aromatic flake in a English made system 314 and drinking my usual brew.

Sounds like Poland has created it's own M79.Thelonious monkfish wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 8:11 pmIt's it's own thing. The Polish stuff is getting better, or at least this batch is. The Irish stuff was simple, complex, light, and stout. That stuff is some sort of tarry, peatty, camphor, floral, wintergreen, herbal, leather, overall assault on the senses and smoked so smooth with just enough nicotine to top you off. Hoping the Polish production improves or strikes a note close enough to truly satisfy.steamboat wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 6:50 pmNever had the opportunity to smoke Condor. Is that blend floral as in St. Bruno? or is it lakeland as in Sams Flake. Love Sams Flake, St Bruno is the most vile leaf i put in a pipe to this day, and never want any blend that resembles that leaf again.Thelonious monkfish wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 6:44 pmTrying out a new batch of Polish Condor in a Commodore

Having some Carter Hall in a bent Roma. This pipe has a multitude of fills and has a really bad varnish job on it(finish is bubbling everywhere, will probably sand it off), but the drilling is spot on and it smokes great. If they stepped up their briar selection a little, they'd would be a serious contender in the budget pipe market. As it sits now though, they just can't compete with Dr. G or any of S.M. Frank's current offerings. I can't complain though.. good little beater pipe.
