The kids wanted to have a bonfire in the garden, so I’ve loaded up the cob with Ennerdale Flake and my Savinelli Capri with Shortcut to Mushrooms. Paired with some Ardbeg whisky.

How do you like those cobs with the bamboo stem compare to a classic cob ? I miss those Bonfire , last summer they make it illegal in my area to “save the planet “ they said??

In the words of Jim Inks 'I am posting this one early'. I have just slice up some Bosun's Plug as I watch the rain come pelting down. What a difference from this morning but then that's Florida for you. I will be using the same meerschaum as this morning but with a new Philt Pad as the old had seen betters days!

Peterson Royal Yacht, maybe the second to the last bowl of this tin, in a traditional straight pot by Amadeus, a Greek pipe maker, that looks like an L.L. Bean Dr. Grabow pipe I used to have, but smokes better. The broad bowl spreads out the blend pieces a little better and gives fuller flavor, I think. This pipe has improved over the years, always satisfactory, but always improving.

More comfortable to hold. And hold it, I must; clenching these clays makes my teeth feel funny. I have the Williamsburg version as well, and I did it with each. Super easy with hemp wick: just wrap it tight and it’s done. No knots, no adhesive, it stays put on its own.
If you clench clay pipes you will wind up with 'pipe notches' in your teeth. I have them from smoking exclusively clay pipes when I was younger.
