Good evening All
A bowl of Sutliff’s Match 965 in the Shalom Pipes Sandy Hook. It has cleaned up nicely showing some nice grain.
Happy smokes

@Ettrick puffer Just smoked some of @Birddog66's Good Dog mix in my clay pipe today; many thanks!
Difficult lighting my clay pipe in all this wind ?️; once I get it lit it burns hotter with the wind ?️ keeping it stoked ?!
It was definitely too windy ?️ to light my clay pipe when I went to see the Sealed Knot at Bolsover Castle; once I got it lit the Gawith Hoggarth Cherry Vanilla quickly burned out (small bowl English Civil War clay pipe and it burns hotter in the wind...)
The wind ?️ is a Cavalier's worst enemy as it blows their hats off and they can't light their pipes - and when they eventually get it lit the baccy burns like a bonfire ?!
It's as if the wind ?️ knows I'm trying to light my clay pipe and is trying to stop me - or King James I doesn't like me smoking!

We continue enjoying with. C&D Byzantium, in corn cob Charles Cobbler, and a mug vermouth with ice and slice orange, of course. I sincerely missed this tobacco. It is still one of my big favorites.......It's like smoking on a big shit-infested whaling ship and rats jumping all over your head...........?
Sounds delightful!?

Good day all! Late start due to five hours travel for wife's monthly doctor visit. Started by finishing a bowl of Wilke Chocolate in a Nachwalter Canadian. Now a bowl of Carter Hall in a Nachwalter smooth Scoop with plateau rim and brindle stem. My Burley mouth ph problem seems to be abating so I can enjoy this leaf again.

Been chatting with the neighbors, and am not far from finishing this bowl of Wilke Peanut Butter and Chocolate in a light brown 1979 rusticated medium bend Italian Sir Jeffrey Dublin (GBD second) sitter with a flared top and yellow saddle stem.

Is that the natural coloring of a well-smoked pipe, or did you do add finish to it? Just ordered my first Bones and anxious to see it evolve.
hi @Sanzini

I have never done anything but smoke it, I have not even polished it once, the pipe was used as it came, with its natural color and has been darkening over time, maybe now that I see the picture more closely, the darker spots are not so much, but nothing more, the photo is taken with a mobile, is not a wonder of photo, but if you can expect a similar aging in yours, enjoy it in good health

personally I like very much the pipes with the natural color and sandblasted, I have a great weakness for the Ardor Terra for this, and even in many of my comissions I ask to the craftsman if the option to leave it as natural as possible, I like to see them aging with me and take colors that fascinate me.
