BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
What's in your bowl today
- Thread starter La Chupacabra
- Start date
Finally getting around to smoking my new pipe, I packed this thing on Monday but it's been a busy week. Rattray's red Rapparee thanks to @hopzilla
So this was my first time trying something oriental and I'm not sure how I felt about it. I'll have to give it another try this weekend.

I mean, really, it was on your ToWL and can you truly tell if you like something until you've smoked half a pound of it?
A few days ago @rdomfoto dropped a huge bag of McClelland No. 2035 Dark Navy Flake on me. Wasting no time, a sample went in the bowl yesterday, in my Briarbird Albatross Rhodesian.
Thanks for the baccy, Rob, and for the pipe, J!

I think we'd consider that a good start, or in this case a "sample baggy," no?

Opened up a can of G.L. Pease Tribute on this fine September 11.
Never forget.
In a true work of art, the Brandon Brooks Nasal Anse w/ Morgal Ember Blast finish.
That pipe is beautiful, can you put up more pics?

SPC Deception Pass in a cob. Too humid for briar. Thanks to Zack for the baccy sample!
They are still around! I have seen a few when I'm on the road. But the one I always remember I've been going to since I was a kid. When I go camping in Otter Creak in North western Ky. Right next to Fort Knox, I always hit up the A&W there.
That pipe is really crazy looking! I think I really like it but I feel confused!? I have never seen a finish like that!

I forgot my damned pipes at work!!! And I still haven't sold the Georgia Peach Briar Pipe, so I'm thinking about breaking it in! Unless one of you guys wants to buy it! I know I'm not supposed to sell anything but nobody wants to do a trade or the line is months out, so I'm gonna give it another week or so and then opt for the cash deal. I will send the pipe first though. Just PM me an offer. I'm not trying to make money on it, just trying to make sure it gets to someone who will enjoy it and re coupe what I have put into it in materials. But please don't offer 20 bucks or something like that. So if you like it let me know.
I made it about two months ago out of a piece of 15 year aged briar.
If it's not sold by tomorrow, it's my new puffer 
Also all of my pipes are hand carved that means no machines just knives. Outside of my hand drill for the draught, tenon and bowl and the buffing wheel to make it shiny. If you get it and don't like it before you have smoked out of it you can send it back. I'm not a sensitive guy so I want honest opinions about my pipes.
I made this pipe larger in the hopes that it would give a cooler smoke and be a moisture eliminator.

Oh wow!!! That is beautiful! Damn!
Ahh, back to the briar today. I had fun with #meerschaummarchmadness but I missed the variety.
Today I broke out the Brandon Brooks "Nasal Anse", starting her off right with some SPC Mississippi River.
Well atleast now you look respectable!
Lol great perspective pic!
Larry's blend to start the day
