Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed that. You need to do a comic book presentation with those pics!

Is that cutter thing an antique? It looks like the one in some of the watch city cigar pics.

Sandollars has gotten it all down to a science. Is that 1.6 grams? Somebody else in another thread was wondering about pipes' volumes; we can now record the Savinelli 320's as 1.6 grams. Maybe we should get a record table going.

Peter Piper properly packed a peck of Peterson's Perfect Plug and picked a particularly popular pipe, probably pretty pleased to prepare his preferred post-prandial peccadillo.

I knew it was you by your scale! Too funny! Also love the cookie crusher!

Enjoy the smoke!

I first thought it was an actual Cooke @sandollars snacked on while preparing his Ps. I had to go back and look.

Love those antique cutters.

It's called a Plug Cutter A century ago one would find them affixed to the counters most General Merchandise stores. The customer would come in to the store and ask for so many inches of plug. The clerk would cut off the desired amount and the customer would be good to go. It works great! I found this one on eBay. They are nearly indestructible so can still be had at reasonable prices.

Actually, I cheated a little 1.6 grams of flake and 0.6 grams of shake already in the jar so 2.2 grams is a perfect bowl in a 320 KS .

That Cookie grinder is perfect for flakes! 7 bucks on Amazon. If you just grind it one way, you get nice longer ribbons. If you go backwards and forwards, you get nice bits. Aside from the consistency advantages it saves the hand if you are rubbing out dense plugs

If you get one, make sure the cutters are Pyramids... The square ones are for some other type of stuff some people like to smoke. I forget what though.... But I hear it's pretty popular In Colorado.

All serious espresso coffee fanatics know what Acaia scales are, eh?

I have a 3P plug in my cellar. I will probably get to it in a few years!!!

3p in a 320, a perfect Valentine treat.

 

[smudgersmissingleg]

You've got a great setup there. PPP, a Savinelli, an antique plug cutter, a beautiful Sillem's Old Boy and a Jammie Dodger grinder. ?

 

[blackpowderpiper]

Excellent! I enjoyed your post.

 

[lukasstrifeson]

A) that's a handsome looking flake cutter you got there!

B) Don't know why I never thought to use a "tobacco flower" grinder - even though that's exactly how they're advertised on most websites.

I just had my first bowl of 3P last week. I think it’s my first actual steam pressed plug, rather than the looser American things that are called plugs. It burned so much slower and longer than I expected! Cube cut, with a bit rubbed out on top, it took a couple of hours to get through a bowl. Great flavour, the whole way through. Strongish nicotine, mind you. Have to pack a smaller bowl next time.
