Wessex Brown Virginia Flake folded twisted and twisted and stuffed into the Big Bent Lattice Meer, with a tasty non-alc IPA and book while the pizza is in the oven.

@aspiring_sage Looks like an Old Dominion Jamestown clay. I like the banding on the mouthpiece!

Just got an OD Williamsburg as my second clay and I'm loving it so far. So much nicer than the Old German, I have to say.
I'm 99% sure they used a shortened Williamsburg as old Tom's pipe in The Lighthouse (2019) - a favorite movie of mine.

Couldn’t help but smoke this pipe twice today. ODF in a rusticated Ferndown Tomato

Smoked a couple of Country Gentleman with Brown Sugar Flake. Picked up a new freezer.

So, do yo think, if anyone has a nice natural finished Briar, it’s better to not touch with the hands, use a glove instead?

I just assumed if the hands are clean when smoking, any oils of the hand, wouldn’t really effect it in a bad way, unless someone has a really bad sweaty hand condition.

hmm

P.S. Not to pick on ya LOL, but @alaskanpiper your Smith House natural finished, Lovat is it? Do you have a before and after pic of that? All I know is the colors I remember seeing later as you smoked it are really nice.

And, maybe it will ENCOURAGE you to hang around here and post more.

I always like to click on names and see when people joined, and where they are from, and like I was WOO 2013 and 25 posts! LOL

Sir, you get the ‘Least Activity Award’! LOL

To be fair, I forgot I even made an account here until recently.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm half way through this bowl of year 2021 unreleased Sutliff Black Virginia flake in a late 80's, early 90s James Upshall P DS Tilshead England Made By Hand L185 Canadian with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-A's game. Spent the day helping out a sick friend.

Now preparing some Grousemoor. I am hoping our friend , @JOHN72 finds that troubled Spaniard that raised such a ruckus over SG tins and beats him with a cauliflower.

It

GH&Co Rum Flake in an Altinay. Since I mostly smoke this pipe I've been seriously considering selling off some of my others that hardly get used. Logically, I went ahead and bought a pipe today because well, it's been awhile and I smoke this pipe so often...it only made sense.

It so obviously makes sense. It would have been absurd to NOT buy a pipe, really.
