A wet and miserable day (nay, week -almost non-stop rain since Tuesday, with more predicted for the forthcoming week),
Brightened by company, in the person of one of my pipe-smoking mates who came to share a new blend and show off a few pipes he picked up recently at a local auction house.

First bowl of JamesFox's Bankers Blend

On a Stanwell Shape 156. A bent Bulldog designed by Jesus Chonowitsch.

And with it a glass of Nonino Quintessesia (an Amaro)

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am closing in on the half way mark on this bowl of D&R Windsail in a 2018 full bend smooth Peterson Sherlock Holmes Lestrade with a silver band and a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem.

 

[OzPiper]

A short break for an afternoon tea of some oven-warmed pineapple tarts with a mug of black chai tea.

Onto another bowl - Sturck's (oldest tobacconist in Sth. Africa) Balkan Blend

Be healthy and well everyone!

Don’t let the drama of life drag you down, my fellow pipe smokers!

@RevBriar Sam’s Flake is amazing, I don’t see how any pipe smoker would not enjoy it. It’s a light VA, sweet, nice floral flavors going, really amazing! ?

2019 WCC Rhythm & Blues in a Skovbo Bent Freehand. This pipe has excellent fine straight grain all the way around, although the camera doesn’t pick it up well…

Some HU tobacco DE Dockworkers flake rubbed out fully in a Orlik De Luxe London Made mod.176 long billiard

Not far from finishing this bowl of Wilke No. 111 in a smooth medium bend 1938-1948 Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a nickel band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Gonna call it a morning after this smoke.

Started Saturday with a early 3km swimm, and now enjoy the sunshine with BS Flake in my favourite Altinay.

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.

If the tobacco is in a tin I just open it and put it on the mug warmer for hours until its dry enough. If its bulk I put it in mason jars. I usually use small jars for the stuff I keep out to smoke and put that open jar on the mug warmer. I've had some really wet tobacco on there for as long as 8 hours. The jar can get pretty hot so be careful. I've also had to mix the tobacco around. The Smoker's Pride Cherry probably won't take that long. Drying it really helps. Its can have a bite straight from the bag.

Good Saturday morning all. Up bright and early for the footie. Pegasus in a Savinelli 644.
