I wonder if the cake contributed to that suspected crack? Have you been able to determine the extent or if it was just a scratch? Great post!

I believe @cosmicfolklore was correct...
Man I hate it when he's right ..
Seems like just scratches.... They haven't changed at all.
Hahahaha, quite the hobo hot box you got going on there. Where's the pone n gravy?
That's good that the story continues! Very interested to see what the conclusion will be and how long it will take for a forced retirement.
I've told this story before. Former college football Coach Emory Bellard, inventor of the wishbone formation when he was an assistant coach to Darrell Royal at Texas, was inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame back when I was still working there. As a sportscaster in a previous life, I had interviewed him many times when he was the head coach at Texas A&M. He was always smoking a pipe. The night of his induction I asked him if he still smoked a pipe. He said no, that he gave it up because his pipe finally started tasting bad. He said he smoked it all day long for 14 years (Carter Hall was the only tobacco he ever smoked). But then it started tasting bad and just quit cold turkey. He said it was a Dr. Grabow. So, I guess the moral of this story is that if you're only going to smoke yours everyday for a year, you should be okay.
@pipestud That is an awesome story! Those old guys crack me up!
@alaskanpiper Haha u like that? I could live in that thing during this lock down. I'm debating setting up the larger 4 person tent to smoke in, cause this one is a little cramped. Trying to convince the wife to let me build a permanent room in the garage to smoke in, with a heater, and she's on board.

Yup it's the only pipe I've smoked since I started the thread.
Way to go, man. I've been watching this since you started. Thank you for your service. Haha
680 bowls. Yesterday was 8 months.
Still going strong.
Able to do some good hiking with these nice days. And of course I don't go anywhere without my pipe. This was yesterday.

Hmmm... I believe they are all pictured in here somewhere. I'd guess 8 times?
Nice to know you're still going strong. I was just wondering earlier about it. I noticed in your one cob for one year thread you would mention how much you missed smoking your briars. Do you miss smoking your cobs this go around?
Yes, my cobs are by far my favorite pipes. I miss them terribly lol
If you wiped out the chamber with a paper towel or something similar after every smoke, you may never need to ream it.
