It named a litany of RCMP fallings and issued a call for the force to "finally" undergo the fundamental changes previous probes have demanded. The Mass Casualty Commission released its final report last week into the April 2020 shooting rampage that left 22 people dead in Nova Scotia. I left a particularly favorite Mark Twain in the rain and found it unsmokeable afterwards– while it was financially easy to replace (at less than a 1/10th of what I would have spent on a briar) I still find myself comparing its dark hues to other Mark Twain’s I own and miss it from time to time.The RCMP is hoping to boost recruitment numbers in marking its upcoming 150th anniversary - even as the national force's structure and practices come under damning new scrutiny. No other pipe, including other MMs, have given me quite the same visual satisfaction of hours spent together I have a few Rob Roys that are beginning to change color but they’re a bit shorter and haven’t been smoked as long.
The joy, however, of smoking a Mark Twain comes in the gradual ‘patina’ that builds over smoking bowl after bowl– your Mark Twain will change from a pale yellow to white into an amber and ochre beauty. A bent bit for the Mark Twain is, for me, an absolute necessity as it allows the pipe to comfortably dangle from the mouth clenchers may find the straight is better for the opposite reason. Medico filters usually require replacement after two bowls whereas balsa filters seem to tolerate a few more this is likely because the balsa is able to dry out easier without cellophane wrapped around it. I prefer Savinelli balsa filters in mine because, as the occasional inhaler, I really don’t like the taste of ash in my mouth. The thick walls give a sense of strength and, having dropped several of these pipes from about a yard or so onto concrete, can safely say the pipe can deal with the occasional accident or abuse. The feel of a Mark Twain in the hand is incredibly comfortable the conical shape lends itself to being grasped and waved about while talking or gripped for warmth during a cold day. I smoke out of the Mark Twain at home and Rob Roys at work the Rob Roy has a similar diameter but less chamber depth. The Mark Twain’s bowl diameter accommodates my fingers while loading the pipe and the depth gives me the length of time to meander versus setting a timeframe in my head. Several years afterwards I now find myself smoking only corn cobs due to their durability and cool smoke. The Mark Twain is approximately the same chamber as the Great Dane and, for a first corn cob, convinced me to buy 2, then 7 more– they easily replaced the other pipes I had based on their ergonomics and balance the weight of a corn cob compared to briar is usually lighter and lends itself to being ‘hung’ in the mouth versus constantly set down. I’ve smoked pipes for well over a decade and MM had always been a pipe supplier I’ve been ‘aware’ of but hadn’t tried until I snapped a tenon while cleaning that led me to the purchase of a Great Dane Spool in hardwood and MM in general.
