A couple minutes away from smoking and reviewing year 2022 Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a pearl brown acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Charatan Black Flake (why is it called that?) in a Kiplay, whilst checking on the bare-root strawberries that came in the post and I potted up in the greenhouse last week. The Charatan is taking some time to get to know - like some old friend, very conversational, who will happily discuss the weather, football and car mechanics but who you can't get started on the dimensionality of Time, the Apostolic Succession or the meaning of out-of-body experiences. The word I'm looking for is, I think, "uncomplicated". YMMV, of course.

Do you fold and stuff or rub it out, out of curiosity? I've smoked it folded but not rubbed, liked the intensity level.

Why is Blackjack called that when it's red? Hmm, Kopp.

In this case, I guess it’s only rarer until the flame meets the pipe—then it’s just very rare.
Yes, it was a difficult decision - to light up or not. But in this case - I had never smoked an unsmoked Lee and after years of Briar Lee go on and on about how sweet the oil cured unsmoked Lees are when first lit, I decided to see for myself.

@Briar Lee - I am not sure it was all THAT. I've had better. Just say'in.

An XL81S filled with my first attempt to make an Irish Flake match at home, a little mix I call Gypo #1, now 6mo old. Not bad.

Putzing around in the shop, I really like this pipe, but have found bulldogs not too easy to find spots to set them down…I need more sitters.

Had some Cowboy Coffee earlier while organizing the pipe and tobacco cabinet.

Enjoying an inaugural smoke of Midnight Moxie in a new Peterson Irish Harp 999. Having raised four kids (our oldest is 32, has Down Syndrome & will probably always live with us) we rarely bought each other Christmas presents. This year...long story short, she got a new Lazy Boy and I got three Petersons.
