***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

[seaweed]

Now smoking the last of this tin of Sutliff Presbyterian in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem. Watch City English Ernie-ental will replace Presbyterian in this pipe. Off to start work on a new Betty and Veronica story. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I tend to only enjoy sandblast for rustication, but I love that pipe. What a beaut.

Found these re-enactment ember tongs hand forged in Sheffield, just up the road from me:

404 Not Found - hand forged historical tools and equipment

reconstructed roman, anglo-saxon, viking and medieval tools for use in living history, film, television and museums

www.daegradtools.com

Would be useful for lighting my clays at re-enactments / Tribe Bushcraft.
Been looking for non Chinese replacement for my heap of junk kitchen tongs so looking at the Viking ones made in Sheffield.

These look fun. Have you tried lighting this way much? Seems like it could add a bit of variety when I’m already near the wood stove.

@seaweed I've not done it myself but the Redcoats & Revolutionaries blacksmith lit me clay pipe with an ember from his forge!

Just over a quarter of a bowl left of year 2015 H&H Viprati in a 2000s brown quarter bend sandblast Pierluigi 140 brandy military mount with a silver cap and a caramel acrylic saddle stem. Dinner follows this smoke. Watching the Braves-Giants game.

Thanks. Beautiful rustication can be very attractive. That was one reason I liked the old Savinelli Estella line. They were Autographs with a flaw so the wood was high quality. I'll show you the ones I have even though they aren't the best photos in the world.

Kaywoodie Connoisseur and Wilke No. 191 - spent the afternoon taking apart stuff on my riding mower and putting on new stuff/maintenance (still runs!). Lucy’s considering maintenance on her little tire now that I can relax.

Thanks. Still sneezin and wheezin. But this too shall pass. Miss my pipes

Feel for ya’! Sneezed, and blew and dripped my way through non air conditioned schools K-12, lol. Strangely, my horrible allergies got better as I got much older - now manage with just one little pill when I need one. Hope the air improves!!

Bowl #193 with the coloring bowl. At 200 I’m calling the experiment done and this pipe will be smoked bareback from there on out.
