Relaxing after a wonderful salad, tacos and spaghetti dinner with a couple of sugar cookies for dessert. While I'm waiting for the big dessert to bake and cool, I'm not far from finishing this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Gold in a post-WWII Bertram 60 straight smooth dark brown squat bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. The big dessert is freshly made apple cinnamon pie.

Tabac-Manil Semois Thick Cut, that good old Belgian burley variant, in a bent blast Johs Dublin with the brim cut at an especially rakish angle, by a notably underrated carver Mogen Johansen. His briar is extra light weigh and still has strong insulating properties.

Hi Jim,
Is that largely due to the fact it's a Peterson , or is it just that pipe . I am looking into Peterson because I like bent pipes in the hand .

Both. I like Peterson pipes, straight or bent. Of course, I like other pipes from other companies, too, but that particular Peterson is really good smoker.

The pie is cooling, and in the meantime, I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a 2003 medium bent straight grain military mount Two dot 2 P. Ardor Venere Extra Bucaneve dublin signed by Dorelio Rovera with a silver ferrule and a black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I don’t understand this. Wouldn’t stacked coins in pipe be too dense to burn? Also moist coins are wider then most of my pipes. Does this mean loosely crumple the coins “cannonball” ish and stack them?

For the smaller discs that make up THREE NUNS and even the various Mac Baren spun cut blends it shouldn't be a problem leaving them intact in a pipe with a smaller bowl but for wider discs such as Dunhill/Peterson's NAVY ROLLS or Davidoff's FLAKE MEDALLIONS I'd rather use a wider bowl than crumble the discs into a smaller bowl although I always crumble the final disc on top.
