We all have an impact in one way or another. Well, after the success of my Pipe Smoking 101 video, and the way it really showcased a particular pipe and my love for it. The folks at MBSD Pipes have been inundated with requests for a Meerschaum Poker to such an extent that they've named the line of pipes "The Whittler" in homage to me.

That's more than a little bit humbling.

They're going up now on MBSD's site, they got 20 of them in, and are posting 10 up tonight. So, if you're really wanting to get one of them, now's your chance.

Got a new pipe in from Mbsd pipes. The brand "James Upshall" is one of England's finest pipe makers, but the name is only the brand. Much of the brand's reputation was built by master carver Barry Jones, whose ability to read the grain of a briar block and shape each pipe around it is literally legendary among collectors. Every pipe was hand carved rather than factory made.

Its a piece of pipe history in my hand, and i'm so flipping excited to have one!

I love this old GBD Conquest. Its a big pipe, but not overtly huge. The "Conquest" designated one of GBD's larger-sized pipes. GBD had three oversized designations, in ascending size, Conquest, Collector, Colossus... So a Conquest is essentially a generously proportioned GBD rather than an extra large monster.

These old GBD's made between the 60's and early 70's aren't exactly hard to find. But they are absolutely the estate pipes that those who know will grab and hold onto like they just found a diamond!

The wife is back in town so the sky's are more Blue and the grass a shade greener. Amazing how attached you can get to someone isn't it?

Pipe is a Paneled Meerschaum Billiard from Mbsd Pipes, a vintage zippo i got back in the day, a vintage Astley's of England brass tamper, and a solid Buck Canoe pocket knife on a Kimagi hank.

Warch is a basic Timex , but i like simple watches a lot.

Day 21 of 30 for the Meerschaum coloring of this @mbsdpipes reverse calabash. Absolutely fantastic progress. Really enjoying how its darkening and that color is still creeping up the stummel bit by bit.

The whole journey with daily photos (mostly) is over on my instagram from Day 1.

Day 3 of my 30 day experiment to see how this Meerschaum colors from unsmoked to whatever we get. At the point of this photo i've got 16 smokes in on it and you can see a soft yellow coloring just barely visible. I didnt notice it myself yesterday but others pointed it out. Today I can definitely see a slight color change.

Looking forward to seeing how this goes. When all is said and done i'll probably end up posting a videl on youtube about the process.

I'm posting daily updates as i go, over on instagram.

DAY 1: I am gonna do something fun over on Instagram. I have this unsmoked MBSD Pipes reverse calabash figural Block Meerschaum and i'm gonna do a 30 day challenge. This will be the only pipe i smoke for the next 30 days and we're gonna see how she colors. We're starting fresh today, this is it completely unsmoked Should be fun to see how much of a patina we can put on her. 😊

If you want to follow along on Instagram, give me a follow.

Reverse Calabash pipes are fun specifically because of that large open chamber in the back where the stem inserts. The idea is that smoke can swirl around in their and cool down before it bites your tongue. Now Meerschaum already provides a cooler smoke, so a reverse calabash Meerschaum is like double dipping in the cooling your smoke options, and the very best smokes are cool smokes. So this should be a real treat!! 😊😊

My carry today. An MBSD basic briar, a vintage zippo, BigIDesign Pen and a HigoNoKami traditional Japanese folder poket knife. Hank is a Kimagi, and a Tomex expedition on the wrist. Literally, the pen is the most expensive item. Here, got it for $65, because i'm a Pen need! 😆 🤣
