Hey Ben, how’s it going?

I was just thinking about you, when I remembered that on Shane Ireland’s Instagram account, there’s some pics and a video from October 24th 2018 of Smio Satou, have you seen that?

The video is really cool with him working/filtering Urushi. :)
Maybe? Got a link for me? It’s going good, smoking that Satou you found as I type this! Hope you are well!

Yeah, this is too cool.

He would coat each pipe, then let it sit in kiln for 3 days, then repeat that process 12 times! For every pipe! This is why it is quite hard to discolor a Satou rim.

I was bored this afternoon so I dug a crusty little pipe out of my junk box and cleaned it up. Its a little Golf made by who know? its St Claude. Probably a Butz second.
I loaded it with HU Haymaker and decided again that straight virginias just arent for me. So I put HU Fayyum Kake in it. Much happier!

I love some straight VA and Haymaker is not for me either; it tastes like burning.
I also do not understand the love for Orlick Golden Slices at all.
Have you tried Watch City Rhythm and Blues? It’s incredible and absolutely nothing like OGS or Haymaker.

Smoking some GLP Union Square (2021) in a Vollmer & Nilsson Straight Tapered Apple. 'Lady Grey' black tea is the drink.

Relieved to be back to being able to smoke some wonderful tobaccos, out of gorgeous pipes, after a stint with illness. Recently acquired this stunning pipe, and it smokes better than it looks. Couldn't ask for more on the maiden voyage.

I hope all are well, and enjoying their smoke!

A third of a bowl left of year 2013 Rotary Navy Cut in a post-1938 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 bulldog with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Nigel Bruce smoked this model in two Sherlock Holmes movies. Please consider asking Shane Ireland at Smoking Pipes and Peterson to bring the pipe back into production. Taking a short work break.

I thought Sleepy Suzy was by my feet, but when I looked down, I saw it was actually Daisy the Feral Princess having a snooze. That girl can sneak into the house before we know it.
