What's in your bowl today

[BloodWood]

Smoked cool and I liked the compact shape. I'm thinking this will be a good flake pipe.

Guess I'm in then.

Will also add a Spanu I've been eyeing.
Their shipping duty is a license to rape. Plain and simple.
I do a fair amount of EU pipe purchasing. Al Pascia's carrier charge is THE highest; as I've told them (he-he).

I like that custom made bowl for the radiator! Nice!

Ha, good eyes.
It was birthed right here in my shop (Bethlehem Olivewood).
I call it my 'ShitWood' line.

How do those fancy new age radiator pipes smoke @BloodWood? Conceptually ot seems ingenious!

They all smoke real well. As my wife, the aro queen, will tell you it cuts down on the tongue bite (she's a fast piper).
Radiators, as the name implies, keep the bowl cooler. I'm a sipper.
Of the four different brands I own the Wiebe is my favorite.
Both Falcon & Titan are a distant second.

Cant find anything on titan, but does falcon have a fluid catch? It looks more like its just a sharp looking aluminium pipe with interchangeable bowls.

Yes, all metal radiators trap moisture and arrant bits of tobacco.
The concept is parallel to a home's 'mud room'.
They both act as a barrier to keep the unwanted out.

Sweet! Thanks for the info. Hwiebe may be a dkwn the road investment with their price tag! Could pick up a few falcons for experimentation!

He does do some sales from time to time. Usually he posts them on facebook and Instagram. Eventually I'd love to get my hands on one as well. I do like the feature of just buying one of the frames then I can mix and match the bowls he has available. I think he did a collab with Chris Morgan and made a radiator bones bowl.

@Dran, if you have the patience this retailer dropped their prices 30% on all things Wiebe during Black Friday last year.
I placed several pipe orders that covered half my Christmas gift list (he-he).

You'd think with a bright lime green sticker losing a jar would be impossible. "Challenge accepted."
Within nanoseconds of popping a fresh tin Jen comes out, "Is this the blend you're looking for?"
It's shaping up to be a 'Mississippi' weekend.

Captain Black/New Diplomat Cob & Forever Stem.

Glad I didn’t waste an expensive tobacco with this bowl. I’m tasting some acrylic glue or something from either the new pipe or the new stem. Never had a new cob or Forever Stem do this before. YUCK!

I’m tasting some acrylic glue or something from either the new pipe or the new stem.

Much like Gallaher Condor and Lakeland Dark the acrylic glue blend is an acquired taste.
Please, give it a few more bowls and report back.
