Just finished what is certainly the second to the last pipe bowl of McC's Dark Star, a wonderful dark Virginia blend I like so well I saved the label off the tin and taped it to my calendar. The label text reads: "Years before tinning, top-grade Virginia and Carolina leaf, through careful aging, pressing and stoving, becomes rich, cool and dark with a seductively spicy aroma and complex flavor." All true. Smoked in a Ropp Etudante bent poker. This evening I also used store credit on some pipes I wasn't smoking to order a new pipe from SP. It's a Savinelli 606 KS bent billiard "Pannocchia," a carved tribute in briar to the cob pipe with a bright yellow amber stem. "Corny."

My wife is having hip replacement surgery today so I’m currently in the hospital parking lot smoking SG Wintertime Flake in a Stanwell sterling silver #29 billiard.

Best wishes, man. Look into Ostarine and MK-677 (Ibutamoren) for a quick and successful recovery

Enjoying some GL Pease Quiet Nights through Meerschaum gifted to me by my Lady. Also cleaning out the carving bench lol. ?View attachment 122502
Okay, I have to ask. What are you doing with the deer antler pieces?
I’ve cut them up over the years and use them for many different things. The dog loves to chew them, flint napping tools and a pipe tamper. I’ve
always wanted to make a set of checkers out of deer or elk antlers.?
Do you carve pipes? If so, I would imagine these would be beautiful accents.

Well, that's a whole list to share, lol. So:
•pipe tampers with cartridge casings, Runes, jewelry beads, pendants, dangle earrings, and small accents for refurbished/restored estate pipes. I also grind to powder and mix with epoxy resin for repairing other antler pieces.

I haven't quite picked up everything I need to start making pipes, but I only really need a few more pieces of equipment.
