smoking gawith Cherry Twist in my Marcus cob.

kinda hard to get going but a damn tasty tobac once it lights. Still trying to figure out the best way to smoke these ropes.

A couple of ways work. Slice it thin like dimes and stack it up in the bowl. Then squish up a couple of disks and sprinkle to fill in the bowl. The way I usually do it though is to just cut off a chunk and drop it in a coffee grinder until it's loose.

So much better than the movie.?
The only movie remotely able to capture the Howard writing spirit was Conan the Barbarian by John Milius. Even though he had to take some inspiration from the Kull stories like the slavery and gladiator part I think. Arnold even though is a shadow of what he used to be and represent nowadays, was born to play Conan of Cimmeria, the other actors are just...meh.

Not to mention Thulsa Doom is a Kull villain!

I wish they'd make that King Conan movie with old gray Arnie already.

Good Evening Folks, Gawith Hoggarth American Caribbean Coconut in a Savinelli 642 Camouflage pipe. Feeling a lot better, the tablets are working, i need all kind of tablets to countereffect the side effect of the other tablets, so drowsy all the time, but got out to our local park again without a stick now...a beautiful sunny afternoon with a gentle mild breeze. I enjoyed it greatly sat at the Gothic fountain overlooking the lake feeding the pigeons and seagulls managing to get them to feed off my hand now. I sat at the lake cafe with a bottle of coke in the shade chatting to some regulars. Then I walked around the lake enjoying my Montecristo mini cigars, I smoke my cigars on walk about and smoke my pipes at home. I sat on a lakeside bench watching the cormorants , grebes and swans and other water birds.
From there I went to sit beside the Rathbone statue, having some banter with a couple of young blokes, cigarette smokers. I strolled further and sat by the island bandstand between the stream the guitar busker was having a break, so sat at the Eros statue cafe with a cold lolly ice & cigar.
I ambled back and sat listening to the skilled guitar troubadour. I was pleasantly surprised when a cousin walked over & we had a chat. The guitarist had another break,so I walked home for a healthy teatime meal.
Now listening to the BBC Proms on Radio 4....

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am not far from finishing this bowl of Watch City Beta Test Blend #3 in a 2003 URAL full bend big bowl egg shaped Lattice meer with a black acrylic saddle stem. Been cleaning estate pipes and chatting with a fellow comics pro.

I'm smoking Sun Bear Black Locust for the first time, I won it from Tobacco Pipes Twitter contest. Pipe is a Rossi Vittoria 6815 Lumberman. This stuff is good...I don't think I've smoked anything that was a Va/Oriental Turkish before without Lat or other complements. What is similar to this, if anything?View attachment 94479
C&D Bijou for similar tobacco blend, HU Moroccan Bazaar for somewhat similar topping, at least to my palate. Though I’m comparing to last year’s Sun Bear. I haven’t popped this year’s yet.
