Almost finished smoking pre-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.

It's the same here in PA...basically a slightly frosty mud soup. Yuck!
I'll give it a shot and let you know later!@Tate Do you think I'd be good at colouring a meer? You should try the Luxury Navy Flake in your clay - and bonfire another clay of 5 Brothers
Picked up this '64 104 not long ago with a good looking stummel but a stem so oxidized I wondered if I'd get down to black ebonite before reaching the airway. After an hour and a half labor, I'm rewarding myself with a bowl of Haddo's and a cuppa tea
I love Exclusive! Exclusive in the meer
Yeah, I know the feeling. Hasn't got above 28F for several days here in "sunny NM". Of course, I live at nearly 8000ft elevation, so that's not unusual. Currently have 6" of snow on the ground, and more expected tomorrow. Last couple days, the wind was blowing 25 mph. Today, sunny and calm. Out on my deck, smoking Shepherd's Pie in a MM cob. Stay warm everyone.
You stay warm as well!
@Tate Had a good warm up by the pub fire at the Red Cow in Nantwich last year after we'd smoked our pipes
Did a set of walking reps on this cold and windy day, 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.
Mcclelland 40th Ann. in the Kyriazanos Greek dublin.
Yum.
Yum.
That is a well deserved cup of tea!
Last Manduela for a while, will be smoking some Anthology 23:to break it in
Blockade Runner in a Pete bulldog
Very nice! Beautiful shine! Do you finish the stem with a buffing wheel or just micromesh..?
Thanks! I just work my way down (up?) from 400 wet sanding to 12000 micromesh followed by a drop or two of oil and a hand buff with a soft cloth. I can't be trusted with power tools.
Do not know how old either of these tins are, but I am going to open one. And put In a Danish pipe shop 50th anniversary Danish design pipe. I replaced the original stem with a longer one. Some English breakfast tea to accompany. Still listening to jazz 
Fresh off the boat Radice Pot. Breaking it in with some Maltese Falcon. Not normally a pot shape lover, but really loved the look of this one.
@Backwoods Briar I LOVE the tin art on Ye Olde Signe - I think it would suit the King's Clay!
