The wind cap is meant to stay with that pipe. If you have a collection of pipes, the wind cap pipe should be one that you choose to smoke when there is a breeze outside. The purpose of the wind cap is not only to keep your embers and ash from blowing out of the bowl, but it is to keep the buffeting air current from making your embers too hot. If your embers get too hot on one side or the other, you will begin to burn a hole in your briar wall. If you smoke it with it off, you are doing it right.
aw man, your pipe promised it wouldnt say anything! i typically smoke a pipe in the morning while sitting in traffic for an hour so i have a great appreciation for chin resting pipes and the wind cap is awesome since my cars ac is broken and i have to drive with an open window in the summer.
neat pipe,,i hv an orlik with a bulit in slide back wind cap ... but i guess ur way shld do it. as for the blend u r seeking advice upon i will not be able to help since i hv not tried it?? but in any case m sure fellow pipers will be able to evaluate
Lovely pipe! My own pipe thoughts on the matter are: This pipe was obviously designed to smoke outdoors and as such the windcap is supposed to stay in the bowl at all times (except on loading/unloading and cleaning of course). Enjoy your beautiful Oom Paul in whatever weather nature will throw at you. That thing is built like a tank. :-)
I saw a video just a few weeks ago and someone had that exact pipe. I can't remember who it was. It's driving me nuts. Lol It's a very nice one.

Gotta watch out for back-stabbin Brebbia's...lol.
That sucks about your broken A.C. Been there, done that. Not fun. Especially in traffic, when you're stuck behind some horrid exhaust fumes.

Very nice pipe. I've seen an estate Oom Paul that's gorgeous, but I'd have to win the lottery to get it.

Sweet Brebbia. I can get my hands on that one at a retailer near me, but I have been hesitant. I think I'll bite the bullet.

Great OomPaul & SG's 1792 is a fine blend & 2nd Gustavo on Peterson's UniFlake but I'm biased since its in my top 6 blends.

let the pipe tell you. every object we fill with love gets a form of a soul, and with meditation we can connect with that soul.
