What’d you think? All the pipes you post are incredible, by the way.

Thank you!

So far the topping is less than I expected and the DFK contribution is more than I expected. I’m mainly a VA and VaPer smoker but this is a nice change of pace for me. As burley blends go this is very high quality, very smooth, and yet still has some backbone to it. Definitely worth a try.

Cornell & Diehl Burley Flake #1 in an unfinished Ascorti billiard

That's great that you have both the tools and the knowledge. All I have are some tools, YouTube and gumption. There's a front crankshaft oil seal replacement and leaky trans cooler in my future.

That's also a great looking pipe.

Ahh yes, I also have a leaky trans to fix on my 78 f100. It’s leaking from the oil pump, not looking forward to be on my back for that.

A third of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 24 in a smooth straight brown 1949 Yello-Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.

Bijou in a CAO Meer.

 

[Backwoods Briar]

Wilke 193 in a IMP, really enjoying this meer, some tea and honey.

 

[Steddy]

Watch City Glass Slipper in a cob for the car ride home. Knowing you have a pipe packed and ready for the ride home from work is one of life’s simple pleasures.

Just finished smoking D&R Penhooker in a 1990 straight dark brown Commemorative reproduction of the 1890 Peterson Patent System 12393 stack billiard with a silver band and a bowed black acrylic 32 AB long stem p-lip.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Have a little more work to do.

University Flake in a Falcon. It’s sunny not too warm here at the Western Cape and no South Easter blowing. Perfect summer day.

And another two hours without electricity.
