Oh wow, Marlin Flake!
Haven’t seen that one in a long while. Never actually had a chance to try it — it’s been on my list for ages.

Now smoking year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a smooth straight brown 1950 Dunhill 48 bulldog group 4 root briar with a black vulcanite fish tail saddle stem. It's time to feed the ferals.

GL Pease Samarra, in my opinion, needs no introduction. It’s a legendary blend — mysterious and complex, revealing new facets every time you smoke it. I’ve read many reviews and had a good laugh: some people complain that it tastes like “burnt cardboard,” while others praise it to the skies. Pease truly is a genius of blending.

2019 Sunset Harbor Flake in a Peterson Black Sandblasted Spigot 107 with the Arabesque Old Boy. This bigger-ish billiard is such a comfortable size, I’m in heaven.

Marvelous! and the blast all along the shank/stummel is divine!

Having some Boswells No bite delight in a 2021 Pete pipe of the year. Delicious. Like smoking a tootsie roll.

Memphis is a hidden gem for foodies. I love Gus's fried chicken, Dyer's burgers and shakes and Central bbq enough to make the road trip west occasionally. Hatties tamales are special!

Hey there, Jed.
I notice that your website is battlefields.org and you live in Franklin. Perchance do you work with any of the Battle of Franklin sites??

Taking a break by Smoking some 2016 Triple Play in the MiniMeer, double IPA on the side - I am in the middle of figuring out where my fault to ground is on one of the circuits in my house - what a drag! Grateful for the time and wherewithal to deal with the issue, just wish I could have picked the day. Also grateful my attic is easily navigable. Couple beers ought to do the trick, problem’ll solve itself!

Enjoying some Pegasus in the 2006 JM Boswell Mini Ball.
I don’t think he makes these much anymore. Great little pipe!

I love the shape of that bowl.............

Paul, that kind of stuff just makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. The fact that a living thing (tree) could have been present when all of these aspects of history took place. You live (Richmond) in such a hotbed of US history that it's just amazing what all went on right there. In addition to what you said with the occurrences mentioned above, that tree wasn't too far from Patrick Henry saying, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" in St. John's church or Lee holding McClellan out of Richmond through several battles during the 7 Days campaign or Lee catching Grant's men in an enfilade fire of cannister during Battle of Cold Harbor, etc, etc, etc......

Gives me the shivers just thinking about it.

Yeah. This kind of history is cool. This tree was in my in-laws pasture. It was hit by lightning and split 3 ways about 3 years ago.

They still get teary about it.

BY MELANIE BUCK - For years, people in ‘logging country’ have slowly watched trees get smaller, and smaller. As the trucks pass by, locals see toothpick-like sticks instead of the large burly trees that used to live in places like the Ouachitas. Since 1997, the Arkansas Famous and Historic Tree...

Kings Watch in a pre-republic 02 while ripping through the Nevada desert. This’ll be a 20 hour day. Two hours in. Yeah, it’s blurry.

@ashdigger Man it is like you are on the road every day for investigations! How big an area do you cover? And what percentage is 'nature' vs dumb humans vs arson?

Starting the day with a 507c VA slice folded and stuffed into my Peterson Junior lovat, a pipe which I am seriously considering wholly devoting to 507c. View attachment 425885

Wow..... great story and thanks for the link.
Isn't Mena in west Arkansas, near the Oklahoma line???
Yes, I bet they do get teary eyed. A tree like that is like the old Patriarch of a family. It is so sad to see one go.....

Thanks for sharing.
