Mac Bare Scottish mixture Ina cob
I’m continuing to smoke GH Rum Flake. It’s so humid here today that I’m having to dry it out in the toaster oven.
Welcoming my newest pipe in style - “Chip’s” first bowl will be… 🤔💭
McClelland Frog Morton’s Cellar
…paired with water (I’m doing “Honey-Do” chores in the garden.)
…and a good smoker, too! …my first ever smoke in a meerschaum. Finding this one requires holding by the shank, as the wax on the heated-up bowl gets soft. Is that normal?
After a fresh wax, when the bowl is nice and warm/hot from smoking, it’s a good time to wipe it down/polish it up a bit. I usually need to do this for the first three of four smokes to finish the waxing process, although I usually use a heat gun sparingly during waxing and final polishing, which does away with the issue. Even then I find a polish or two for the first smokes to be a good idea.
Nice pipe! 👍 You probably know already but, just in case, it will take about 4 or 5 bowls until the meerschaum has absorbed enough of the tobacco “juice” and you start to taste, and feel, the full benefits.
You have some great pipes!
GH Dark Plug in a St. Claude cutty.
KBV Patience of Dr Silence in "Chip" the trusty little Meer Dublin.
Finishing up the evening with some really old Lancer's slices. In my TRG Dublin.
Damn I love Lancer's.
New-to-me tobacco: G.L.Pease, Union Square. A straight Virginia that doesn’t bite, has enough nicotine to satisfy and relies on top grade leaf (without any flavourings) to deliver a very satisfying smoke. I suspect this is going to move up my rankings as it ages. Excellent stuff!
Smoked in a Savinelli Armonia Bent Dublin and accompanied by a gin & tonic, (I’ve worked hard and the sun is shining, so I reckon it’s deserved! 😊)
Starting the day smoking MacBaren Vanilla flake in my usual cob. Such good smoke!! ☕
Cornell & Diehls Yorktown in my Peterson Rocky 53.
Just cut up some herr klotz plug for my first smoke in my new il ceppo
My tobacco order came! My first order of business was a bowl of Elizabethan Match. This was a fraction of the price of other VaPers and it was a very good smoke! I will be tinkering with it a bit and I am sure I will have a very nice result at a sustainable price. Great suggestion Ted!
Hmmm. Just read about that. I should keep up on what our insane legislature does more often.
Me too.
I figured it out at checkout on Smokingpipes.com. My mom lives in WY. It might do her good to get out and forward a package now and then. 😂
A little 2010 Bob's Chocolate Flake in the Mario Grande poker.

Mac baren scottish in a cob.
I was craving for latakia so i decided to smoke some after lunch. 🍺
It’s a busy Monday, but I’m squeezing in small bowls of GH Dark Bird’s Eye in an antique meerschaum.
G. L. Pease "Samarra" in "Chip" the mighty wonder-meer
Sillem's Councilor in a Vauen Luxus today. Which, after Ted's pipe picture above, makes me feel like I'm smoking a cigarette butt I found in a sidewalk ash tray.
Wessex brown virginia flake in a cob. I've had this tin for almost 2 months. It's not bad but I'm not too impressed either.
Country Squire’s Mirkwood (aka Dark Holler) in “Chip”.

KBV Van Gogh in “Chip”.
I hiked over 10 miles today. This cob full of OJK is especially nice.
