Large Falcon Pipe Bowl

Fresh out of my lathe.

It has the biggest tobacco chamber i have ever turned. 

From right to left the Bantam a standard bowl and my huge bowl.

This briar block has some nice grain and only a couple of tiny inclusions.
One of the best blocks i have.
This bowl is huge.

This is on an auction site.
It's called a Steinbach Smoker.
The clockwork lathe spins it plays music and i think you

Erik Stokkebye - 4th Generation 1931

Black Cavendish, Burley, Virginia.
This tobacco i am sure is made by Mac Baren
They look almost identical to MB Navy flake.
Rum is there as is a slight honey flavour.
The aroma in tin is mouth watering.
Rubs out easy just a little drying time needed.
Easy to light and full of flavour.
It is like a more intense MB Navy flake.
I will be ordering more.
