    In keeping with a tobacco named Janus, the God of Thresholds (in the Roman pantheon), Janus separates what stinks from what is good. Hence in January we usher out the bad and welcome the new and good. Such is the task of the janitor guarding and removing stink from what is pleasant and good at...

    The loss of the ridge in briar is probably due to the difference of materials. Clay is molded, briar is carved & sanded to final form. Ridges are difficult to sand. My understanding of the point in clays was to give a cool appendage to hold as clay gets very hot. Not really needed in briar, but...

    Reiner's Long Flake in my GBD Militaire Tanshell #357, or Prince shape with vulcanite stem and military mount. I wish I could remember when I bought this new. Maybe 1975.

    Beautiful eagle claws. When you know how hard briar is, such carvings humble one.

    Finishing my Barling 6109 King Tanshell filled with H&H Anniversary Kake from yesterday. Hotter then hell here @102F. Good time to sit in the AC and puff the old pipe.

    Another interesting artistic detail with regard to the definition bead at the crown. It's hand incised to create a dentil molding. It's easy to cut a bead on a bulldog on the lathe, but takes hand work and time to cut dentil molding. You don't see that today because of the expense and...

    I turned this pipe in 2010 from some well aged briar (I had the wood for 40 years). Fit with Yellowheart and acrylic stem. Oil cured and now filled with Reiner's Va long Flake that's been aging since 2011. My drink is Jim Bean bourbon.
