Hello everybody!
I have been away from both the forum and pipesmoking for well a year. Now I really did enjoy this hobby and decided that I want to take it up again on a small scale. I placed an order with the lovely folks at smokingpipes and recieved a much awaited parcel this weekend!
I ordered two Tobaccos, Bayou morning which I loved the last time I had it and Bayou night which is a Perique Heavy scottish blend. The pipe is a sandblasted Ropp and since I don't smoke Indoors I figured that a windcap was in order!
My new kit
Ropp
In the old brass pipe stand
C&D Bayou Morning & Bayou Night
The inside has no pre-carb and it doesn't look dip stained. However it is quite dark so I'm wondering if the stain might have bled through or if the briar is darker than I remembered.
Anyway its good to be back and I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with my pipe and my fellow pipesmokers on here again!
