Almost finished smoking Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a smooth 1976 Canadian GBD Seventy Six 256 with a black vulcanite stem.

Half way through this bowl of Jim's Va/Bur in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem.

D&R PenHooker in a small straight shanked Legend 2nd.

Here's a quick and likely well known cob hack...I use my cobbit stem in some of my other filter cob stummels.

I have another cobbit stem that got broken off at the tenon that I've sanded down and I use that on the non filter stummels. The ebonite stems seem to help me to sip my bowls very effectively and clench with more resistance to distortion.

Breaking in a Spanu Clairmont billiard with some Boston 1776 VA.

Same blend I used yesterday to break in a Santambrogio bent apple.

I am finally getting around to smoking a few of the unsmoked pipes I have been acquiring over the past few years.

 

[JimInks]

About a third of the way through this bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2002 smooth top, black sandblasted quarter bend Karl Erik Ekstravagant horn with a horn insert in the ferrule and black acrylic stem. A bottle of Sprite is my drink.
