@ashdigger I liked the GH Black Cherry in my clay pipes but the Cherry Vanilla is my favourite pipe baccy. I had a memorable smoke of it in my clay pipe at the Lace Wars re-enactment at Cromford Mill in those long forgotten pre COVID days of March 2019...
No smoke signals before a battle

@smokiespipesmoker123 I've smoked a couple of packets of the Virginia No. 1 in my clay pipes; never had a black one!

Man, what a beautiful day! It’s 83 f degrees, and hot if your in the sun, but I’m resting comfortably in the shade with Windjammer in a cob and a glass of iced tea.

Hey @timt , great to see you back!

Thanks buddy! Couldn't take the winter smoking anymore and switched to smokeless tobacco for awhile, followed by a much needed nicotine detox for the last few weeks. Good to be back to "normal".

Enjoyed a short nap, followed by a little snacking, and then a long, pleasurable bowl of year 2013 FVF in a 2002 three quarter bend light brown sandblasted Ardor Urano Fatta A Mano eight sided paneled shaped bulldog sitter with a black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[JimInks]

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of Rattrays Old Gowrie in a smooth brown 1976 GBD Seventy Six 256 lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This should get me to dinner time.

John Bull Royal English in a Johs bent freehand with plateau on the brim and shank. This is a pleasing mild English blend that didn't need a charing light. It's in the upper eighties in central North Carolina, with days gradually cooling off for the next week. I'm in shorts and short sleeves. After a few chores, I've been watching two youTube videos on sharpening knives, mostly for my folding knives, Case, Remington, and others. I'm trying to refrain from buying a Buck pocket knife. Nothing too fancy, to tote around the world. Knife sharpening is a real Zen exercise, kind of like yoga or meditation, working the burr back and forth. For now, I'm leaving my wife's chef knives to the pro's.

If you haven't seen the Burrfection YouTube channel, it has great tutorials on sharpening kitchen knives, both German and Japanese.https://www.youtube.com/c/Burrfection/videos
