Anything over 80deg and I’m sweating, I’m not really comfy until it’s lower than 60deg. I’m happy as a clam at -20deg, give me a coat and a tuque and I’m golden!
Ha Ha jttnk My sympathies! That is brutal!
It's 68 degrees here now. Low tonight is 57. Low humidity. Sitting on the back porch right now enjoying a pipe.
Definitely feeling some Fall coming our way. Perfect piping weather.
Hope things cool off out there for you soon!

Philo, it's funny. I'm from south GA (state, not country), yet I'm not a big fan of hot weather. OTOH, while I have a broader comfort range than most people, for me cold is where it's at. I tell people I've got a GA pedigree & a MN thermostat. Normally I'll put on a long-sleeved shirt when it gets to 35 Fahrenheit, & to me it's not cold till it's 25 & stays there a week. Once it's 95 or hotter, though, it's just too damn hot... Go figure; one of God's many jests on me....
Clay pipes are a nice change of pace, though I've heard it's best to have a plastic or other bit, just not clay, for health reasons. But briar, cob, and Meerschaum are the old standby work horses, and Morta is widely admired (I don't have a Morta). Love them briars, Meers, and cobs.
I enjoy Balkan Sasieni. It is my practice, though, never to combine a new tobacco with a new pipe. One or the other is an old friend. This better allows me to identify issues. YMMV.
