Ginger Baker is a pipe smoker.

I want to make a custom bowl for his Falcon.

Cream is one of my favorite bands.

From the Box: Nording straight grain 'B'

Unrestored, as it is from the box of 'one day' pipes. May actually get time to clean and polish it this weekend...maybe...

Early Nording, classic Danish pipe for the time - back when they were all establishing the 'freehand' style. For a while the stem shape seen on this pipe was Nording's 'signature'.

With a tobacco chamber that is 25mm wide at the top (sharp v-shaped chamber, about 3mm across at the bottom PERFECT drilling), 40mm deep at it's shortest point and with walls of up to 18mm - well...it's a man's pipe. And, it's incredibly light.

The next Tobacco

Vanilla Creme Flake by MacBaren

I filled my Stanwell 63m freehand up by
folding and stuffing.
My first impressions where good its smokes sweet and is easy to light.
As with most aromatics it smokes a little wet.
The taste is the same as there vanilla cream mixture.
Now 3 nights later and its all gone
Tried a bunch different pipes and ways to load folded and stuffed
loaded vertically rubbed out even cubed.
Flake is so versatile.
All i can say is never again.
At the moment i'm smoking a tin at a time start to finish.
There are some interesting tobaccos in my cupboard and on the way
from flakes, cakes and plugs.
Now the decision as to what to smoke next.

The next Tobacco 350th Post

I have been wanting to try this
tobacco for a long time now.
I ordered  it a while ago and received a tin of the
vanilla cream loose cut instead.
So success this time.

The usual Mac Baren presentation 

As all ways Mac Baren make perfect flakes.

It the smallest tin i have seen 50 grams.

Smoking my new pipe

Packed with some rubbed out MacBaren Navy Fake.
Nice easy draw a little hot but that will change as the cake builds.

Churchwarden

Just finished turning this Churchwarden pipe.
Turned an acrylic pen blank as the spacer it is pressed fitted into the bowl,
A pipe cleaner passes easily all the way through.
So there is no need to dissemble the pipe to clean it.
I so need a new phone sorry for the bad pics.

Pipe lighter

$7au on eBay including delivery.

It's a Boofa ?

The tamper is a little small.

Fires up 1st click every time the adjustable flame burns smooth
from tiny to blowtorch.
A fill lasts me a day which is how long a full zippo lasts me.
I don't expect longevity but for now it's good.
After a week of using its dead ahahahahahahah.
