Wow Jim! Nice pipe and smoke combo.Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cod and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2018 Mac Baren HH Burley Flake in a straight smooth dark brown 1918 Pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 2 apple with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Nice cob! Reminds me of the cherry wood cabinets i was going to install in this house. Would have matched the red garnet flecks in the granite counters nicely, but alas i am married and the wife wanted white! No way i'm painting over wood grain, so we compromised on Mocha, but there'll always be a place in my heart for cherry. Anyhoo, i like the coloring on this one and the wood shank and stem are a nice touch!

I have to sound like I am bragging, but it is wonderful, and exceptionally rare. I don't have much of it open left, and the couple of ounces I have mylared are going to stay that way for a while.McLouxgaroux.
I can only imagine the wonders….
