Perusing a thread earlier today, there was a reference to Whitehall pipes. I've got an old Whitehall quarter bent, sandblasted Dublin- it's the pipe in my mouth in my forum av. It has been out of rotation for some time, now. I decided to revisit it.
I dug it out, and took it with me, loaded up with Amphora Virginia, for my drive out to my cider mill of choice on a gorgeous October day.
Is this a great pipe? Is it the sort that would command Big Bucks if I went to sell it? Would the folks who only smoke expensive pipes do anything more than sneer at it? Nope, nope, and nope.
It was, however, a very pleasant smoke - it smoked that Amphora like a champ. (Snobs would sneer at the Amphora, of course, anyway.) It is definitely going back on the racks, though, and I am going to revisit some of those other pipes I put aside.
Just goes to show ya.
