Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke No. 222 in an undated, unbranded straight smooth dark brown made in France Los Alton VBF billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Just fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger, who is currently chasing a moth around the den. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

My official last smoke for this thread is half a bowl of 1792 I set down on my desk yesterday, in the now-dedicated Kaywoodie Campus. On the porch enjoying a much needed rain/thunderstorm.

 

[JimInks]

Passing the first third of this bowl of year 2018 Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a 1982 smooth straight Dunhill Root Briar 31051 dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Passing the first quarter of this bowl of first release Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a straight smooth brown 1920s-30s Sasieni patent 8 dot Marborough lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

 

[JimInks]

A couple of minutes or so away from smoking Angler's Dream in a 1984 Stanwell Antique 124 egg with a smooth brown front and a black sandblasted back with a dark gold ferrule and black vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Have a little more work to do.

Last smoke for August is Bayou Morning. Will probably start September the same way.

My last smoke of august 2023 was some SPC Hogshead in a Rossi 8320

Back to a year ago when I first tried the fold and stuff method, I just couldn't keep it lit, but I gave it a try again recently and was amazed by how long a bowl lasts.
It could be a good idea to try it in a clay, since I tend to puff too fast while smoking my clay, probably because of the very open draw?

@FoggyMorning Just chugged a clay pipe of St Bruno Ready Rubbed in 3min 25s

 

[JimInks]

Fed the ferals, and Molly Danger, who is eating more than usual. Well, she needs it because she's skinny. Anyway, work's done for the day and I am passing the quarter mark on this bowl of Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a year 2021 straight black sandblasted Peterson Ragaire 150 bulldog with a unmounted army mount tapered acrylic cumberland fish tail stem. This blend will be released in November.

@FoggyMorning Not my style of pipe; there were some clays with a steam train shape around the early days of railways (George Stephneson era). I don't normally smoke THAT fast but I wanted to see if I could do it after watching the video
At the other end of the scale I made a clay pipe of St Bruno Ready Rubbed last 54 minutes; good but over an hour would be really impressive!
