Upshall B Refurb
This morning I V’d the slot, chamfered the airway on the tenon, and polished the airway on the stem. My work is done. I like to let the chamber coating dry for about a week before smoking.- craig61a

Upshall B Refurb
Well it will still smoke just fine I’m sure. Reamers or pipe knives are overused these days in my opinion. Probably back in the day too. But not quite as much. Seems that estate pipes were offered in as is condition more often several years ago, whereas now everybody’s a pipe restorer…...- craig61a

Upshall B Refurb
Picked up this Upshall cheap. Sanded the chamber back to near wood. There was some alligatoring on the back wall of the chamber, but not bad. The front of the chamber had spot that was charred a bit too. I assume at some point in its history somebody reamed the chamber a little over zealously...- craig61a

TAD Acquisitions 2024
I’ve been meaning to try Cascadia Vertical Limit for probably a few years now. I finally remembered to order some. It’s an amazing looking plug of whole leaf. A true plug, and not a crumble cake. It has a strong, rich tobacco flavor. Not overly strong or bitter. Burns even and well behaved. I...- craig61a

Captain Black Grape 🍇
As for the price, $45-$50 was what it was going for before it was discontinued. At least around 2020-2021. As far as I know Sutliff Red Wine is still available, which is about the same thing to my taste…- craig61a

Kajun Kake - C&D Classic
One of my top VaPers. I have several pounds of this stashed away. I like it fresh, but it’s a better smoke with several years on it, in my opinion.- craig61a

Latest Pick Up
Wow… you went whole hog on that restoration. It looks great! The Star anvil cutter did an OK job, it was something that I got cheap, repainted and sharpened the blade as best I could. The Yankee cutter allows me to get fine cuts, about 1/16”, consistently.- craig61a

What to Learn from Tenons?
I always figured that step was there to help the stem seat flush so that any built up tar at the corners of the face of the mortise would not prevent it from fully seating. -
