Since my clock turned yesterday and I didn’t really celebrate, channeling Christmas with my J. Everett (@cramptholomew) A Christmas Carol commission and some Boswell’s Christmas Cookie. Beautiful evening, chicken breasts on the grill.

Rougaroux in a Mark Tinsky.

Derringer in a Dr Grabow Royal Duke that I removed the shiny stuff from with some Everclear and one of my wife's makeup remover pads. A very reliable pipe! A wee tot of brandy to wet my whistle.

Hiking flake in a 1911 Orlik Goudron. This bowl is going to be remembered for a while. No idea why, but for some reason the stars aligned this morning

Just passing the half way mark on this bowl of F&T Blackjack in a straight smooth brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam billiard 27 Canadian patent 341422 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Taking a break from meer de-ghosting. I've made some progress, but not enough.

Pictures please! We don’t want to go to a different thread to see how this special pipe is coloring.

I will post pictures this weekend. Coloring nicely !

Hats off to you for this project, but do you get bored smoking the same pipe? When you smoke a meer exclusively for hundreds of smokes in a row, what, and how thorough is your cleaning regimen? I only smoke my two meers occasionally but every once in a while I gently scrape off the cake with a very sharp penknife. To be honest, the shank on my pipes only get a pipecleaner regularly but there must be some buildup in there. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Not getting bored at all, although I occasionally think of the other pipes which are getting ignored. In fact now I realize a few pipes are good enough.

Once I finish smoking, I run a pipe cleaner through the bowl. After every 30-35 bowls I do an water clean and a gentle reaming of the cake. Smokes perfectly!

About a third of a bowl left of year 2020 Peter Heinrichs Golden Sliced in a pre-1940s straight smooth brown Sutliff St. James (Comoy’s) spiral billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Watching the Braves-Mets game.
