Bit of a rougher day than expected (in both good ways and bad) but decided I deserved some time to unwind. Will be filling the Pete rusticated House Pipe with Marblehead, a strong English house blend from Orange County’s Tobacco Barn. Haven’t gotten down there is quite a while.
Hope everyone under severe weather conditions in the middle of the US stays safe.

Do you know how long people have been using Cherry Wood pipes for tobacco, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were around during your favourite period in history, they smoke really well too and they’re cheap as chips on eBay.
At least since 1869 - or after the briar and around the same time as the Corn Cob - but could've been made by Continental artisans before that date and not registered.
According to Pipedia
Eugène-Léon Ropp (1830 – 1907) had acquired a patent for a cherrywood pipe (wild cherry, lat.: Prunus avium) in 1869. In 1870 he established a workshop to manufacture such pipes in Büssingen (Bussang, Vosges mountains)

.... and not forgetting Sherlock Holmes used one 130 years ago ...
“... taking up a glowing cinder with the tongs and lighting with it the long cherry-wood pipe which was wont to replace his clay when he was in a disputatious rather than a meditative mood" (“The Adventure of the Copper Beeches" June 1892)

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, rainbow trout and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue in a 2015 Ryan Alden quarter bend burgundy sandblasted Queen of Hearts freehand with a black acrylic saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Deciding on what movie to watch.
