    Hey, Mark - that is a sweet pipe that suits you. The classic shapes don't disappoint. I've not had Bothy Flake, but it sounds like one that should be on my list to try. Although a pipe or a cigar is great at any time of the year, autumn seems like it is the pipe season. Classic pipes, rich, quality tobaccos, and great whiskeys. The time to enjoy life and slow down. Be well and keep it awesome - peace 👍

    Hiyas Mark,
    I really enjoy Bothy Flake!! The peaty whisky notes are right there for you to savor. You are absolutely correct; slow your cadence down and let the flavors come to you.
    That is a handsome pipe; so light and it hangs well too.
    Well we had a perfect "farmer's rain" today steady and constant with much cooler temps! Huzzah, welcome to autumn, my favorite time of year; so glad it's here.
    Serene smokes my friend

      @@oldandintheway1955 Hello Gary, such a beautiful tasting blend, looking forward to enjoying more of this blend. What a treat, I am starting to think I live in the wrong place when it comes to pipe tobaccos. The Peretti Peterson will certainly become a favorite.
      Happy to hear you had some rain, we are in need of a nice slow rain here as things are very dry.
      Have a great week

    Hello Mark, over the decades the Bothy Flake has become a firm favourite of mine for this time of the year, and whilst enjoying a bowl is for myself synonymous with back-end season Salmon fishing for sure.... Lovely pipe, suitably crafted for a wonderful contemplative smoke. Tight Lines, Steve.

    Morning, Mark. Good to see ya, as always. Autumn's become my favourite season, too. Many of the places I hike and camp tend to be less busy from this time of year onwards, which is a pretty welcome change. Glad you were able to enjoy a bowl to mark the occasion. Bothy Flake's on my list, for sure. Take care.

    Hello Mark, yes it’s that time of year the seasons are changing as do our palate’s as the colder weather approaches. I’ve never tried the Bothy flake yet but I know it’s one of Bobs favourites, I’m getting a real taste for Solani aged burley flake and it’s what I’m smoking now in my Falcon extra bent and it’s a fine smoke.
    Well this week the weather is turning and temperatures are to drop with flood alerts for further down the country, I think we are getting away with the bulk of it here but you never know eh, we’ll take it as we find it.
    Good to see you as always mate and have a great week.

      @@PiperX1X Hello Jonathan. First bowl was fantastic, unlike any blender I have had before (first impression at least) was very enjoyable and leaves a great aftertaste as odd as that may sound. Yes the weather is making the change, but I welcome it. Sounds like you have a good combination with the Solani and Falcon. Wish you the best of luck with the incoming weather, stay dry and stay safe.
