Got up early enough to have a smoke before work. Last smoke of July as well. Some LNF in a Moretti Elunium “55”.

Due to circumstances beyond my control I haven't been able to smoke a pipe the past few days ... not enough time to enjoy... but today I caught a break and was able to smoke Country Squire Old Toby in my cleaned Barontini 1/2 spigot with 20mmx52mm chamber, acrylic stem and new 9mm charcoal filter for an hour and twenty minutes, in a lawn chair, in the shade, beneath the tulip poplar with a periodic cool breeze. Cold nectarine afterwards.
Completely relaxing ! Happy Sunday evening to all !

Enjoying a lazy Sunday sitting out back with the kids while they have some ice cream & I have a bowl of C&D Morley's Best in a 107 Pete and a jar of iced tea.

Sometimes a bowl of soft, sweet cavendish does the trick. Plus my wife was not happy about the smell of Kelly’s Coin earlier.

Across the road there is a 250+ acre corn field. The crop closest, are my 5 acres of soy beans. (You can see then behind my pup)

Next year we'll have to make hay, which is what my neighbor is doing with his field this year. (As seen in the picture below)

Savinelli Jupiter in the Savinelli Roma prince 315 KS.

As I was inspecting the mortise work I did once it dried (after thorough alcohol cleaning), I noticed a lump of tear-out in the draught hole. So, pulled out jewelers' files I had and smoothed that down as best I could, then another thorough alcohol cleaning with bristle pipe cleaners, then regular and cotton swabs in the mortise. She was finally ready today.

No more wood taste so far, seems to still be smoking right. Just going to stick with my coolest, driest and easiest smoking burley in this one until it's more thoroughly broken in. I want to see how the mortise does and if it sours fast. Although the tear out was sanded down, there were some shallow voids/dips (like less than a mm deep, maybe .025 to .03 mm), but the edges are smooth so, fingers-crossed I don't need to fill them and sand it more. ?

This will be the only bowl of the day. Had to clean the Lorenzetti, the cake was goopy/soft. Stuck cotton balls in bowl, few drops of alcohol, two hours and pulled cotton balls. Cotton swab to wipe up some of the goop and smooth it down. Few hours later when it dried, the cake that was left was hard, but not prepared to smoke it (want to make sure alcohol is thoroughly dried out). So, good deal there.
