Love that pipe . . . . very distinctive and a touch understated. Just works!

Who needs Old Dark Fired when you have Dark Plug.
Well, I'm now officially the 3rd longest living male on either side of the family, and I'll tie my cousin Wally next year on this same date as tied for 2nd. Yup, made it to 74 today. Celebrated my wakeup with my favourite small cigar, a Colt Whiskey, and after a few chores, I'll be gone most of the day - unwanted festivities and extravaganzas, as you'd expect)
Lot's to talk about in the following picture, my upcoming late morning or early evening puff, and I'll explain all of it in an upcoming late night post about my evening smoke in the eminently verbose and unnecessary "Skippable Drivel."
Happy birthday!
Well, since gord opened the topic ... (NOTE: Jim can be so thankful for us Pipe Forum brothers !).Great pipe, great story! I've never seen an Opossum in real life. Just in books, mostly storybooks with animation type drawing. And I like the photo - there he is, very clear but very visible.
Now you ain't planning on roasting him with 'taters, are you??
People also ask:
Is possum good meat to eat? Possums have been eaten by Native Americans and introduced to early European colonists in North America. They are considered a good source of protein. Possum meat is described as having a gamey flavor, and some find it comparable to chicken. The tenderness can vary depending on the age and sex of the possum, with younger or pre-breeding animals generally being more tender. Possum meat can be slow-cooked, roasted, or smoked, according to a New Zealand source. It's often served with barbecue sauce or other regional seasonings. In some Southern regions of the United States, possum meat is traditionally roasted with sweet potatoes.
My friends Grandparents use to raise them in the backyard for a source of protein. I’ve never eaten one but I’m curious.
Now smoking year 2015 Mac Baren Modern Virginia in a medium bend, smooth dark brown 1950s Peterson 999 Shamrock chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Just fed our cats.

First ever smoked from my new little pipe. Fairly certain this is a Butz Choquin. Smoking a 50/50 mix of EMP and Nightcap.
Last smoke of the day is 2017 Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a brown medium bend 1970s Peterson 309 Standard sculpted billiard military mount with a nickel ferrule and a black vulcanite saddle stem. Fed all the cats except for Abner the Eager. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is snoozin' with m'lady. Daisy the Feral Princess is snoozin' on her blue blanket. Tomato the Brave is snoozin' on m'lady's chair. Harry the Hairy is snoozin' outside.
Daisy.
Daisy.
Couldn't sleep, so I'm up and am almost half way through this bowl of year 2014 Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake in a smooth medium bend dark brown 2021 Peterson Irish Harp 80S bulldog with a silver band and a tapered reddish brown, black striped acrylic stem. All the ferals are out.
Rattray’s Hal O’ The Wynd from May 2020 in a Balandis sandblasted billiard
Posting from our second day in Munich. I had two bowls of Haunted Bookshop Cake and went back to Pfeifen Huber and bought some windcaps.
MacBaren Golden Extra and perique (it's magic!) in my OG MM Legend with my Peterson's "P" lip military mount style vulcanite stem. Yum yum.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay!
Heh sounds about right. I have 4oz~ of ODF left compared to 2# Dark Plug
Rattray's Hal O The Wynd from last year in the Peterson Aran Prince 406. Liking this blend very much, I thought it best to snag another couple of tins. Naturally, as a matter of course, it's completely out of stock in the UK. Gah.
