I was drawn to the book you were reading. When expanding the photo to look closer, it appears that each image has a size dimension - width and length?
I’m intrigued. Does the book illustrate art or ancient artifacts, tapestry… From China?

This is a book of pictures of famous seals of all dynasties in China, from prehistoric times to modern times.
These seals are made of various materials, such as metal, ivory, wood, stone, jade, etc., and contain names, authorizations of government officials, mottoes or poems.
I am currently learning this art which requires mastery of calligraphy and carving techniques. If you like knives, you should know an American knife maker named al mar. His logo is a small seal with his Chinese name engraved on it.

Not sure what in a modified cob.

I've always feared the bowls may be too small though I've never seen a Falcon in the flesh, only online. I don't really like anything shorter than a 30-minute smoke so that has held me back from pulling the trigger a few times. Also, how hot does the stem get?

The stems are not actually hot, just slightly warm, so don't worry. Falcon has a kind of very deep bowl, but the caliber is not large.

Just checked the price of this cover, 5 for 10 euros. I hope they don't sell you too expensive.
I once bought a similar brass protective case. I underestimated the thickness of the cover. It weighs 63 grams, so it has never really been used.View attachment 200520

Thank you for the feedback Isaac, I like your "robust" cover.
The charging for 3 pieces was total (incl. transport and taxes):EUR 15.74.

It felt like I'd gone back in time when I had a pint and a clay with one of the re-enactors in the beer garden (without a police box or a DeLorean) especially with the church bells in the background
I was smoking GH brown twist in my Old Dominion Jamestown clay and drinking a pint of Robinson's Unicorn out of my pewter tankard.

Thank you @halfdan for the link to this event, the pictures were fantastic, such realism. Also learned some history on the English civil war, very intriguing. Definitely will be reading up on the enactments and the history of your country. The differing elements from this forum is really fun. My friends having fun like you.

F&T Cut Blended Plug in a dublin by Alexander Ponomarchuk. This pipe has no “bad side.”

@Backwoods Briar Glad you enjoyed the photos. I wasn't actually taking part but I'd like to get into living history re-enactment. A couple of "Condor Moment" pics from Nantwich:

Enjoying a lunch break and some warmer 38° weather on the front porch with the wife & the pups.

She's smoking a bowl of Jim's Blend, a house blend from the Pipe Rack (Akron, OH) in a Chacom Pistache 851.

Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. My left foot has not healed yet, but I tested it out, anyway.
