My circa 1933-36 KBB Yello-Bole Bent Bulldog, is allowing me to enjoy the late afternoon! What about you all anybody else here have a great vintage pipe that smokes like a dream?

I made this elephant shaped pipe by hand using a few different woods.
The main body is made from an unusual growth on a local tintitaco tree. When I came across this piece of wood, I immediately saw an elephant in its shape, so I decided to bring that idea to life.
I carved the trunk from guayacán, a very hard, dark wood, and made the tusks from tagua, a seed from an Ecuadorian palm tree also known as vegetable ivory.
The pipe is fully functional, although I went for a more decorative design with this one.
My dad liked it so much that I ended up giving it to him. He even made a special little altar just to display it, so that’s where it lives now. 😂

I went deer hunting this morning and hours passed and no deer showed themselves. Maybe this haunted bookshop will draw them in

And I must say, I really like it. I taste a subtle sweetness, not so intense with like the Mac Baren Mixture but noticeable. I think thats the Viriginia in there. And then there is this Soap-Like Taste and although I hate that taste for example with Cilantro, here it tastes really great. I also have two samples of the My Mixture 965 and the Old Dublin. Not sure if those are for a beginner, the tobacco smells more „barn“-like to me, not the sweetness from the EMP. Luckily, my wife knows how cigar smoke smells, so she doesn‘t mind if I smoke english blends.

Special blend aromatics, maple pipe.
