I could have sworn ferndown has blasts, then I checked pipes2smoke.com here in Toronto. yes they do have blasts, however they are done by Michael Parks hahahah coincidence? nahcaskwith wrote:Ferndown don't blast eitherwisemanpipes wrote:I ment to say ferndown, not northern.... whoops...caskwith wrote:Northern Briars don't blast as far as I know, at least he wasn't last time I spoke to Ian. Don't know about Dunhill and Ashton, never really thought that much of their blasts, I think you Yankees do it way better!
I was just curious about what tips Michael Parks had given you, he always seems to manage super deep craggy blasts, I was hoping there was some magic secret like dipping it in maple syrup or something
I love dunhills blasts. ill post a pic of my ashton canadian old church in a couple hours...its uber craggy
Michael did share some info with me but it was kind of obvious. he didn't reveal his secrets though. I don't do anywhere near or even in the same ballpark as his blast intensity. I have a theory but ill keep it at that. He spends a lot of time in the cabinet though! I spent about 45-1:10 mins on this pipe. it was well worth it IMHO, I think it turned out great. Joe left a lot of extra meat for me to play with though, which is a must!

and never call me a Yank again, you limey!
