Thanks. It smokes great, too.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm just finishing this bowl of C&D Eight State Burley (Small Batch 2024) in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem. Watching the Red Sox-Yankees game, and writing a review of the blend I was smoking.
SG Chocolate Flake in a Peterson Donegal Rocky 69.
Now smoking year 2020 Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.
@Sobrbiker Congratulations on the new midgette!

One of my buddies from the local lounge is moving back home to Korea in a few weeks, working on assembling a small farewell package for the fella.

Last smoke for the day is gonna be in the Peterson rusticated Sherlock Holmes Baskerville packed with Nightcap
FWIW .... as a longtime enthusiast of Peterson Systems, I'd (unsolicited) heartily endorse your keeping that 314. Lots of "pluses" to it, of course being a system, but also it fits perfectly the niche of satisfying whenever the need for a smaller pipe. My 303 works there, and (sort of) my 301 .... I don't have a 314.

I like how you frequently mention your "Odds and Ends". It inspires me to dip a little more often into my jar of "Odds & Ends" -- unlike some others who felt their "Odds & Ends" ended up nearly a disaster, almost unpalatable, I love mine. Feel it's the equal, quality wise, of my tins & bulks, no less.
I see you made the cut (like I did) for the Red VA experiment coming up. Should be fun.
Re: your comment to my question about Matchlocks, Flintlocks & Caplocks (Percussion) .... I seem to recall reading that smoothbores were accurate to (maybe) about 100 yards, notwithstanding a Daniel Boone expert.
Rifling then gave accuracy to about 300 yards, round ball (?), Minie ball (?). NOTE: I'm giving this info off old memories. Not sure about Tom Selleck (Quigley) hitting a wooden bucket, standing, shooting offhand, at around 900 yards. I do recall reading about buffalo hunters or Army sharpshooters able to knock a foe off a horse with a 45-70 or a 45-90 at over 500 yards.

1792 in this MBSD Translucent meer I'll have to get a better daylight Pic tomorrow, this is really going to be a gorgeous pipe when it's fully colored. I'll only be waxing it once a year for maintenance.

That is a really beautiful pipe, and a nice pouch too! Thanks for sharing!
