    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    He ran to the door and waited by it. I guess he was tired of being cooped up. He was hopping around and spinning, all excited. This is him now, though:

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    Terracotta Fingers and Replacement Stems? (Peterson content)

    @Manawydan That seems a strange reply that the stain will settle down after half a dozen smokes—I wonder if they expect the heat from smoking to set or cure the stain (I recall reading in pipe making forums that stain needs to be heated to set). A pipe shouldn’t require that the user should...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    Having an Oliva G Toro, 6.0" x 50 on the porch. It’s 78⁰ out, but feels hotter than that here.

    Repairing Hole in Bottom of Clay Peterson

    It is available in white. Well, sort of. Pics look grey, but it’s listed as being white.

    Repairing Hole in Bottom of Clay Peterson

    Plaster might be strong enough on its own. I would consider putting a piece of silicone tubing into the draft hole and pack the plaster carefully from the outside (easier to push from the larger end of the hole into the smaller one). A very thin layer of amber CA diluted with clear CA might...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Comoys - Transplant a C drilled Stem Logo

    Okay, this was tough because some of the highlights obscured info, but here’s my supposition: Pipe 1 = Stem 2 Pipe 2 = Stem 3 Pipe 3 = Stem 5 Pipe 4 = Stem 4 Pipe 5 = Stem 1

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    The Newminster No. 400 Superior Navy Flake in the Comoy’s Specimen Freehand only lasted four hours, so I had to load another pipe for UFC. Going to have Sutliff The Old Boss Henry Sutliff in a sandblasted Savinelli Punto Oro Gigantes Bent Stack 906.

    Comoys - Transplant a C drilled Stem Logo

    The discolouration and wear on 1–4 of the stem pic Cs suggest factory to me, and the crispness and perfection of 5 says Fletch.

    Happy Dave Brubeck Day!

    I love the Time Out cover painting by S. Neil Fujita, who did graphic design for CBS Records back then (around 1959). He also did the painting for the cover of Ah Um by Charles Mingus. Fujita did the dust jacket design for the Ross Macdonald omnibus, Archer in Jeopardy in 1979. I regret not...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Getting ready for UFC 301. Having Newminster No. 400 Superior Navy Flake in a Comoy’s Specimen Freehand (probably carved by Horry Jameson). It has the numbers 77 008 stamped on the right side of the shank—not sure if this is a model number or serial number. I suspect the original tenon was...
