Had a bowl of Odyssey. There is BYOB event at the local Pipe shop tomorrow in New Milford, IL. Pretty excited. Might pick up a Meer and a Cob. Just to try the different types of pipes lol.

It's been a busy, busy day and week here. Finally sitting down to some Burley Flake #2 in a Rossi Billiard. A stout tobacco is a fine reward at the end of the day!

@Tate My Old Dominion Jamestowne clay has a smaller bowl than yours
17th century clays had small bowls due to the higher cost of tobacco in those days.

The way the cost of tobacco is going now, we'll all be using small bowls in these days too.

Watch City Slices in a Peterson System Standard B42. Just finished my never ending jar of it with this bowl. I was sad because I thought I was running out of it, but this past weekend, I went by my parents house for dinner and I happened to rummage through my cellar, which is located there, and found a jar with about 8 oz of it mixed in with the rest of my bulk blends. I'm happy knowing that I still have enough of this blend to last a while if I continue rationing it the way I rationed this last jar.

Smoking MB Balkan Blend in a Pete B42 and a beer to wash it down. Little Kelpie bitch “Meg” keeping me company whilst I do so.

Smokes damn good, only problem is the bit is fairly chunky and will try to fall out of your mouth. Definitely not like Eltangs regular bits, but I suppose that’s why it’s a fifth of the cost. I’ll probably pick up another basic in the future.

Wow, Tom is renowned for his bits and their comfort. I know you can get bit replacements for the basic pipes, maybe worth a try if it continues to give you grief. Enjoy it in good health mate, looks like a beauty
