***What Are You Smoking, February 2022?***

Busted off 50 g. of Folklore, and grabbed an unsmoked Don Warren Maple Poker.

There’s a lot going on here. I like it so far, the room note is like potpourri. Definitely noticed the clove, although it doesn’t overpower the other flavors. Reminds me of the old Beeman’s chewing gum.

In some respects it has some similarities to Elf Dandruff; not necessarily the specific flavors, but mouthfeel, the wide variety of flavors, and balance.

Lol I did. It’s a piece of brass I had sitting around but, now you say it, it does look like a 45 cal.

I was guessing an old 45-70?
It looks great!
I’ve got a bunch of deer antlers lying around and I was thinking about making a new tamper out of one of the tines. I’ve been wanting to do some scrimshaw on it and your tamper has given me some ideas. Enjoy your smoke!

@Laurent ,
Is the case stamped on the bottom?

Thank you. I like those deer antler tampers. There’s a antique store here that has some tips for cheap. I looked into one of the threads on here about it.

What case?

 

[Fralphog]

What case?

Brass shell case on the tamper.

 

[Laurent]

Brass shell case on the tamper.

Oh. It’s a brass fitting from ace hardware. I just drilled a hole and glued a oak 1/4 dowel and hammered the firing on

Ah, gotta ya! You could start making those and selling them with your pipe racks.

I did think of just doing it as a gift for buying the rack. I don’t own a lathe so all my pipes and tamper has been hand shaped.

Half way through this bowl of Low Country Edisto in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth octagonal paneled billiard meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Been a very busy day.

I’d imagine a good many clay pipes have been smoked with Gawith tobacco Dan but Not by me - I’ve never smoked a clay!

@LotusEater I'm keeping the clay pipe / Gawith tobacco combination going but I'm on Cornell & Diehl at the moment
Samuel Gawith smoked a clay pipe himself!

@Fralphog Sounds good ? to me; I like handmade things!
Need to make a storage box for my clay pipes so they don't get broken in the thick of battle
Found a large nail I can use as a pipe tamper

Smoking a bowl of two year old PS Luxury Navy flake, drinking an IPA ...last week was a seven day stretch of work between the job and side business, think I need to buy a pound of flakes to ease the pain lol...

Cardinal House Langford billiard full of '12 Opening Night. The cross grain and birdseye on this pipe is superb. Walt seems to make a good stem too.

 

[dctune]

The 3yo insisted that she pick the pipe I smoke after dinner tonight. So it’s MacBaren Vanilla Cream in the calabash.
