What exactly is the bowl made from? Thanks.And some Zance in a rock cob this afternoon. So good. Just bought a red rock cob with bamboo shank. Can't wait to get it in my grubby hands... Ha.
For sure a Beautiful Looking Cob and like the Stem as well. I am not sure about that one. But some of the other ones that look like that is made from A Hard SoapStone (Steatite) It is called the same thing so I think it must be from the same maker. I could be wrong...

Truly is beautiful!I posted about it when I got it I think, but it's a Nørding Lovat Grade 13 estate that I picked up in September. It's proved difficult to photograph as my phone refuses to display all the detail in one pic, so here are a few that show various details. Crazy grain, great Cumberland, and a solid smoker to boot.I agree. More info on the pipe please!That's a purdy Nord!'11 Stonehaven in my Nørding.
LOL. I do recall posting the link for the two remaining Sav St. Nick 320 pipes. You shouldn't be jealous. I was looking at your IG page yesterday. Your 320 collection is amazing!!! I only have the St. Nick and a Trevi.You and your Christmas Sav...Boswell's PA Dutch Treat in a Christmas Sav 320.

Have you seen the design for this year's?
Cool, but not as festive. I really dig that wide band of red with the silver last year.
Almost ordered the 315 2014 model last night... did you recall ever seeing last year's as a 315?
Definitely not as nice as last year's model. Where did you see them?Not as much a fan of those models.LOL. I do recall posting the link for the two remaining Sav St. Nick 320 pipes.

I don't remember seeing a 2013 St. Nick in the 315 shape, but I was only focusing my search on the billiard and author shapes.
Loaded up a Little Bowl of this months Tobacco in my almost new to me Savinelli 622KS. This tobacco I have yet to rub it out. One of the things I love about this pipe, I can take 3 coins stacked fold them in 1/2 and 1/2 again stuff them in this pipe and it smokes wonderful. Perfect Draw stays lit for 3/4 the bowl, I have yet to rub this tobacco out. Smokes to good the way I am loading it. I guess I am afraid that I may mess up the tobacco any other way

It says from the website where the pipe was first bought that it is .90 of an inch. This is a nice big pipe, Love it. It is now my Favorite pipe, out of my little collection of 83. None of the others compare to it. IMO. I am not using the Filter or the insert. Everything that I have smoked it in has smoked wonderful. In fact some other pipes have needed loads of pipe cleaners. Out of the 22 blends only 1 so far has needed a pipe cleaner and only once. Also this is the first pipe that I have I can get a pipe cleaner from bit to bowl. However I have just started to try harder to get them to pass in my others pipes and with more turning and trying I can get 4 of the other 8 to pass. Trying while smoking seem harder in the other pipes. This one is almost always after i get to the holding area pull back and twist first time it will go.... So yes I love this pipe. The link below will take you the the Specs of this pipe

Steatite pipestone. It is nonporous and smokes more like Meer. There isn't a worry about smoking too hot and you don't need to be mindful about touching it as much as I do personally with my Meer, but it is technically fragile so a drop on concrete might take it out. Stem is from a MM cob on this model.What exactly is the bowl made from? Thanks.And some Zance in a rock cob this afternoon. So good. Just bought a red rock cob with bamboo shank. Can't wait to get it in my grubby hands... Ha.
Mixed FM Cellar with Penzance in my cobwarden. Actually really very tasty.
OK well I am as I have said before a little bit abusive to my pipes. However if you have a pipe and like to smoke it then IMO Smoke it... I just got done smoking 3 Coins of this months tobacco of the Month. I dumped out the NICE fluffy ash did a fast clean of the Savinelli, Wiped out the bowl, cleaned out the shank and stem. Packed it full of some Hearth & Home Caramel Apple Pie. I still have a Tin of it coming. But for now i have this nice sized sample that even after packing this huge bowl I still have 2 or 3 left.
My first thought is that it is very Smooth. Like other H&H blends I have smoked it lights really easy. So far only 1 light has been needed. first 1/4 of the bowl it seemed sweet with very light hints of Apple pie and on Retro it did add some light caramel. This tobacco burns well, didn't get hot on the tongue or in the pipe (Pipe does have thick walls but I have made it hot with other blends) at about 1/2 way though it I started to notice more caramel Apple flavor that seems to have a nice light finish. One thing that I have to admit is this is best smoked very slow. Also notice that the flavor after half way added some spices. At first I thought this was just going to be a sweet little flavor tobacco. I haven't been let down by a Hearth & Home Tobacco yet. Kind of gives me a cc memory. Glad to have a Tin coming. Will be a nice after dinner smoke or chilling by the fire reading some christmas stories..
