Hiyas Chris, I do enjoy many GL Pease blends; he's a master of English/Balkan blends IMHO. I need to try Fillmore and Cairo, and shall do without too much delay. That is a great old piece of machinery; it's very cool to see it being put to use again; not forgotten and moldering away somewhere. Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year to yas. Gary
@@oldandintheway1955 hi Gary. He certainly is! You won’t be disappointed with those two. And English/balkan blends you recommend? 😁 merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and yours.
What a great addition to the shop! Worked great back then and it'll serve you well! Have a Merry Christmas and thanks for your pipe work! it is inspiring and I look forward to picking up a piece of your work soon.
Happy Christmas Eve Chris Nice to hear about G L Pease The vaper sounds good and the oriental Love perique and oriental blends Can’t be too much perique in a blend for me Wonderful old piece of kit For me old machinery and tools sure beat the new stuff Thanks for this year and I look forward to the next
Great stuff Chris. That Cairo is good stuff. Haven’t tried the Filmore yet though. Customs is slow so the package still hasn’t arrived yet but I’ll announce as soon as it does. Merry Christmas!
@@MidWayPiper hi Alex. Yes this last group of orders has been stuck in French and then US customs. I guess it’s the time of year. Hop out won’t be much longer. Merry Christmas
Thats a great bit of history in your workshop now Chris, wonder if modern tools last as long as that has! Again have a great Christmas and enjoy that lamb, my most favourite meat of all.
Thanks mate. And to you. Yes, I’m very lucky to have rescued this machine. It came from a friend of mine, Jimmy, who had himself rescued it to refurbish pipes and sold it on to me. 😁
I *love* Cairo and Fillmore. Have you ever had C&Ds Exhausted Rooster? Also excellent, and you may like it as well. Love the extended chat and machinery tour!
Merry Christmas Chris! How would you compare Bayou Morning and Fillmore to Escudo? I’ve tried 23-24 different VaPer blends thus far, and Escudo is my favorite, but Bourbon Bleu is a close second (another C&D blend). However, I have yet to try Morning Bayou & Fillmore. They’ve been in my list of tobaccos to try, but I just haven’t ordered any yet. Thanks for the shop view of your equipment!
@@PiperCalvinist merry Christmas. Escudo is a different beast. Both Fillmore and bayou morning have a sweetness to them. For me, the Fillmore has more nuance and complexity. Escudo is a great tobacco though.
Despite being in an old workshop and wearing a baggy jumper you make pipe smoking elegant. Merry Christmas.
@@RichardVobes 🤣😂thanks Richard. Merry Christmas to you both too.
Amazing machine . Something about old machines that do what they were made to do , and do it very well !
@@robertnation-de7bw absolutely 😁👍🏻

Regarding G.L. Pease; I recommend Odyssey (wow), Abingdon, Spark Plug and Piccadilly blends. They are all damn good blends IMHO

@@azaleapiper merry Christmas. Yes it’s a wonderful piece of useful history. 😁

Id love to try more of the American tobaccos but i keep getting stung by expensive customs charges.

@@pnwesty7174 hi! I haven’t tried exhausted rooster. I was put off by a review which said it was burley forward.
I love old machinery of all kinds. I especially love old farm tractors, but old machinery should be saved.
@@TruckingPiper absolutely mate and these machines are as rare as hens teeth. 😁
Finally the machine is running 🎉🎉
@@nuttensbruno3035 oh yes 😅😁😁😁
Awesome machine! Merry Christmas, my friend!
