One of the Lace Wars re-enactors I met was smoking Clan in his clay pipe and he shared his packet with this fellow redcoat!

Just got done in the shop. Sitting down with some Sweet Coconut Twist. A bowl of this usually lasts over two hours, so this may be my last smoke of the day.

Just finished my last set of walking, plus some extra, and I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2010 STG Schippers in a 1977 straight black rusticated Sir Brent 253 billiard with a silver band repair and a brown pearl grey acrylic tapered stem.

Revisited a tin of Peterson Irish Flake 5 years ago that was too strong for me.
Nice and even smoking now but still too strong for me.

Oh man, that’s the real Irish Flake. Love that stuff.

Now smoking Wilke Chocolate in a 1979 no name French briar smooth full bend egg with a black vulcanite stem. Time for the Braves-Marlins game.

I'd like to I ask you guys in The States a question about one of your corncob pipes that I'm thinking of buying but I'm a bit put off by what looks like a burn mark around the centre of the shank.
Is this normal and if it is what's the reason for it?

Thanking you for any assistance in this matter.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught catfish and green beans dinner with strawberries and cherries for dessert.
