Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Live Wire Prototype in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow with white swirls acrylic saddle stem.
TY much for the encouragement. I have several cobs... 31 at least last time I checked. This was a first that was off in a bad way, and I consider it a QA flaw. It does appear to be doing okay. I did break a costly dental pick on it which is quite perturbing, but it is smoking well. It just wont' burn down like the typical cob chamber I suspect, especially since I buried an end of a dental pick in there somewhere too. I really appreciate your condolences. I am glad I finally got to try the shape... it is everything I had hoped for.. excellent smoker.
Just finished 3rd bowl of Agango/Stokkebye Balkan Supreme in the accursed Diplomat Apple MM Cob. ... the cob may recover or turn out to be pretty good with an interesting bottom of the bowl, especially if after a heavy lower few heavy burns I can chip out the slag! It's smoking very well and is everything I had hoped for initially! Using a blue/white swirl Forever Stem with it that I was excited about as well.
Now smoking the last of the five KV prototypes: Ken Byron Ventures Defiance Prototype in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a brown pearl acrylic stem. Community Coffee is my drink. Watching You Bet Your Life.
Just finishing some Margate in an Alpha Bent Dublin.
Sutliff Sweet Virginia in a pit pocked unnamed London Made Zulu.
Now smoking Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Phone chatting with the fella who gifted me the pipe.
Can't keep up with this thread! Only smoke of the day was Pipes&Cigars' Decatur Soft & Mellow in a Grabow freehand. This pipe is one smokin' mo fo.
A bowl of Mac Baren Mixture: Scottish Blend in my Peterson 2014 Xmas shape 212.
Part way through this bowl of year 2010 Amphora Original (Brown) in a 1990s slight bend black Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root Dark 4 Dublin with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Finished the day with a bowl of Shepherd's Pie from The Country Squire, in a Peterson Summertime 408. Didn't realize it when I picked up the pipe, but apparently 2016 was the first year they ever did a Summertime pipe. Like the looks of that B10 as well!
Savinelli Doblone d'Oro in a Savinelli Deluxe Milano 804 KS.
Enjoyed a few grapes, and am now smoking Wilke Chocolate in a 1979 no name French briar smooth full bend egg with a black vulcanite stem. Watching Cannon.
Smoking a bowl of C&D Old Joe Krantz in a Savenelli 673 Roma. Thinking of old friends.
