***What Are You Smoking, January 2023?***

Is this Ebony wood or Ebony "style"?
In our local forum, a carver once stated that Ebony is "toxic" and not suitable for pipes...

Thanks.

The stain is ebony dark. Standard Briar underneath.

Good question though.

Fiddling with the new camera settings last night, trying to capture a few artsy shots while enjoying a bowl of C&D Haunted Bookshop in my favorite Peterson, a Donegal Rocky 107.

Great photos, especially the third with the light reflecting off your face.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo. The rain may knock out my first set of walking reps, but maybe not the second.

Good job with the camera settings.

I've smoked Revelation in every decade it was made from post WW2 until it was discontinued in 2004. Revelation Match is closer to the original than Epiphany, and certainly closer than what House of Windsor did to it by the late 1990s. The main difference between the original and the match is that the latter has a little stronger topping. But, it's the right flavor. @mso489 ... thought I'd include you in this comment since you mentioned the blend earlier today.

Huh, I had been led to believe that Epiphany was the closer match. Looks like I'll be trying some of the Sutliff Match!
