I know Dan. You have told me many times about firing up your pipe with a flaming sheep turd from the blacksmith forge. Have you tried any other historical ways of lighting pipe. Sticking your head in a blast furnace for example to capture that early 19th century Industrial Revolution feel? How about using a flint and steel and the lint from your pockets instead of matches? I am sure if you applied yourself to this task diligently you could come up with an unlimited number of repeatable scenarios!

Personally, I think it’s cool that someone is trying to keep the old pipe ways alive. Not many are. I appreciate @halfdan ’s unique contributions to WAYS.

VERY nice! The Becker Pickaxe I just got was listed as briar on the website but Federico just confirmed it's actually strawberry.

Gotta see a picture. I really admire your collection. This Strawberrywood is from 2012 when Paolo was still with us.

Agreed,
Everyone has their own niche and style and I love his posts and clays!

I noticed a "S" stamp on the bottom beneath the Becker logo. I asked Federico a couple days ago what it meant and sure enough.
It's a 4 from 2018.

A treat, rainy morning in AZ. Balkan Supreme, Nording Spiral, Coffee, milk, Splenda.

Peretti BPC in my Brulor Page Pot with morning coffee. @rsshreck32 I've also had trouble keeping this lit -- recently heard on PipesMag Radio Show that a slow smoke world champion would use his tamper to crush plug cut tobaccos before loading. Tried it this morning, it helps!
