Just got my Yello Bole in the mail. I’ve managed to date it between 1939 - ‘49 (probably inferior briar) with the help of pipedia. This was totally unused, although it might have decorated the occasional snowman. I’m having an inaugural bowl of SG Choc Flake, so far so good.

I’m loving this Yello Bole, now having some Marlin Flake through it. I can taste the honey, even after 80 years give or take. It’s very light, about 22 grams.

Finishing up the tin of Wessex Brown Flake with a side of coffee. Gathering up my strength to go shovel all that white stuff from yesterday. And I live on a corner lot.

Peterson Irish Flake in a Peterson Newgrange Spigot 107

As a woodworker Olive oil is not recommended for cutting boards because it will go rancid over time. This is why they recommend food grade mineral oil. On pipe bits Olive oil would not be a problem, but I would hesitate putting it on briar where it can soak in. Of course briar pipes are not cutting boards, but if it goes rancid it will stink. Food grade mineral oil is a safer choice. No one is certain what Dunhill used for oil curing. I have guessed it to be Walnut or Almond and have used both to heat cure briars I've turned. I have also used both of these oils on vulcanite bits. If mixed with fine pumice and applied with a fine cloth its good at removing oxidation.

Good info, thanks!

Good afternoon All
A bowl of 1792 Flake in a Peterson Donegal. Leaderfoot Viaduct in the background beside the former Roman Camp of Trimontium.
Happy smokes.

Currently smoking my Savinelli Trevi 310 ks with a blend that I just mixed. I wanted some Latakia but a little bit more smooth and hay like. And man I think I hit the Jackpot!!! So here it goes..... 2 flakes of Mac Barens HH Latakia Flake mixed with 1 flake Orlik Golden Sliced. Both rubbed out and fairly dry. Oh my god what a dream! I think I am going to call it Golden Latakia. I recommend to smoke it really slow.
