Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure the LED bulbs will be helpful in this situation. I'll try paper towels on a baking sheet, placed in the sun by the window.

Mona Lisa Overdrive in my Castello diamond shank bent billiard.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with a small slice of cheesecake for dessert. I've about a third of a bowl left of year 2018 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching a Tim Holt western.
I can now see why VaPer is a thing….
Dug deep in the cellar and dusted off an old jar of some Bayou Morning Flake. Been enjoying it to a great extent the past week. A little age really mellowed some of the rough edges on this blend. Enjoying with some Bill Evans and Jim Hall.
LBF as a break in smoke on a Boswell I accidentally bought on Monday.
Earlier this night had a cigar (Montecristo Petit #2) and now Capstan Blue in a Briarworks Cutty
Uhle's 00 in a House of Uhle's stamped billiard.
Inquiring minds want to know the story behind this accidental purchase.

Finishing dinner at local Mexican joint. 2 modelos and some tacos later waitress asks if I need dessert. No I reply. I’ve got some delicious baccy drying for me waiting to scratch that itch.
Wilke PB&C in my Sav 626. soooooooo good.

As an experiment I’ve been using a coloring bowl for several hundred smokes on one of my meers. It has never been smoked withput it. The coloring is slower, but more even, at least with this pipe.
I do enjoy the quality of smoke you get with a coloring bowl but it comes at the price of additional hassle.
I can quite see her point! Those are a bit creepy!
Well, I was looking for something else and out of sheer curiosity I clicked on pipes. It was after 10 p.m. EST and they’re usually long gone by then - but it showed six available. I thought, no way this one is still available this late…must be a mistake. So, since was available and I liked it I thought it wouldn’t hurt to fill everything out and be greeted with - “sorry, that pipe is no longer available” - but instead it said the transaction was successful. Come to find out - their server crashed (imagine pipe smokers causing that kind of trouble…) earlier in the evening and they had to get it back online. I just happened to pass through when it was working again. So, it’s my president’s day special to celebrate the original GW’s birthday. ?
Smokes great - and it’s different from other styles I have. And I like the color and grain pattern - so, a win. Didn’t want to spend that much - but…Boswell’s are nice pipes, IMO. So, an accident…we all have them.I’m not a huge aro fan, but PB&C is a pleasure to smoke. It’s great stuff ?
About a third of a bowl left of unreleased Sutliff Black Virginia in a late 80's, early 90s James Upshall P DS Tilshead England Made By Hand L185 Canadian with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
The Ed 721. A Foster's Green Oilcan. Blend No. 300. Let's get it on! :D
Thanks for passing on that idea. I'm going to try that on the coffee maker tomorrow. Is it as simple as just putting a pipes worth into a jar and leave it on there until it reaches desired dryness? With the east coast humidity, I figure it's going to be easier to just dry as needed. If I like how it works, I'll pick up a mug warmer.
Close to finishing this bowl of Watch City Queequeg’s Moby Dick Series in a slight bend smooth brown post WWII 1940s Sasieni Ivory 101 Westminster diplomat with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
