Thankfully a cooler afternoon than yesterday. The storm that came through last night brought lower temperatures but higher humidity.

Paterson's Elizabethan Mixture
In a French W.H.C. (In an oval) straight bulldog with a horn saddle stem.Birmingham hallmarked 1898.
The stem was in original condition but the chamber was over-reamed with a thin floor.
I applied a coating of JB Weld followed by a couple of thin layers of pipe mud.
It's one of my favourite "oldies" - featherweight and easily clenchable because of its size

A lovely meer bulldog.
What a shame
Tim (@ashdigger) will have a good recommendation for a repairman.

By the way, my wife and family are raving about how good that smells, that’s different, what’s that one, smells like cookies, oh wow that’s sweet, etc., etc., etc. .

That was so sad
I was so shocked when it happened. My wife keeps saying "We'll fix it, we'll fix it". I have some ideas as to how to repair the break, but we'll see if it works. I've repaired briar pipes that have had chunks taken out of the bowl, but have not worked on meerschaums yet. Its a challenge I'll have to take on.That was so sad
Maybe this is a reason for me to just buy an new meerschaum pipe. Wonder if my wife will buy that?A lovely meer bulldog.

I got back into the groove with my Saturday ZOOM buddies, after missing last week, with a bowlful of 2017 Christmas Cheer in my 2004 Tim West bent bulldog sitter. A mug of Barrie House Clay Avenue coffee went nicely with the smoke and camaraderie.
