Cubed Flake

Cutting Flake into cubes with a cut throat razor.

Rock Pete

Rubbed flake and Irish Cake and cubed flake

Put some rubbed flake and Rubbed plug in the bottom and filled the rest with the cubes.
A couple of lights to get it going but it smoked well.
Now that's a Nicotine hit.

Hopefully some other tobacco i have on order will arrive soon fingers crossed meanwhile more Erinmore its the best tobacco available now that the Irish cake is gone.
Can't smoke anymore Borkum Ruff ever again. .

Savinelli Oscar Lucite 122

Off the rack, no polishing, no cleaning, just the condition it is normally in when in rotation. It's the only pot I own, a number of fills (like any Oscar) but as usual the outstanding old briar more than makes up for it. Great smokers any day of the week.

Plain Packaging

Chuck i have posted this to show you the not so plain packaging in Australia all tobacco products have to be like this. It is a packet of cigarette tobacco but the only difference for pipe tobacco is the name. By the way it cost $42.50 AU

All of my pipes

All due to the kind generosity of Hobo Hoot. HD

All the stuff

The last plug.

Perfectly cut flakes

Like to know what the tobacco's are in the plug.

A very Hobo Pipe

Please don't think Andrea had anything to do with my Hobo attempt she is not even home now.

Almost looks like a free hand

I think i have a long way to go.

An old military clay

This is my current clay pipe, I smoke it pretty regularly. Great flavor, cool enough and fun to boot. Just starting to get some nice color into it as well.

The pipe celebrates, as far as I can figure, the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons - a cavalry regiment in the British Army, first raised in 1689. It saw service for three centuries, with a final amalgamation in 1922. Most soldiers in the dragoons saw service in places like India and Egypt.
