I think I'll stay down south for awhile longer. I feel I'm allergic to Chicago.

That cleaned up nice. I need to clean some of the stems.

"The Mathematics of Magic". It's an expanded version of "The Complete Compleat Enchanter" by de Camp and Pratt. I think I read it in JHS or HS. Lost the original paperback and couldn't find it. Then noticed the hardcover on that mega online place. About to get very light reading with a bit of...

SWR in MM Carolina Gent. Just rotating cob pipes till I'm back home.

Dang. That's some skill!

There is a best blend. Trick is, you will have to find it for yourself. Then, a lot of folks will disagree. And you will find that you were wrong, multiple times. But Ashton Artisan's Blend is a very good start for English.

I like my pipes just the way they come. Slight imperfections, I call them characters. Mostly I go for grains and bird eyes. As long as stummel looks great, I'll give ton of slack on the stems.

Very nice! I need something like that. My bookshelves are getting rather crowded.

Renaissance Wax. Smell goes away quick enough. If it's good enough for a pile of African Blackwoods, it should be good enough for briars.

My uncle had a doberman that he never trained. He was a handful. The dog never grew out of puppy stage. He would jump on me every time, and start licking. I thought it was cute but he was a huge dog. But it wasn't as bad as my father in law's rottweiler x)

No offense to Italian and French members, but Castello being an Italian pipes, I don't know how much they know anything about Army. But I'm sure they are much better than French.

So far, SWR is the OTC I reach for among those I tried. Just a good comfy smoke. I have to try SWRA.
