*** What Are You Smoking?*** (October 2017)

[nevadablue]

... on a very windy day, windsmoker is trying something new...
Something called 'Joe's Blend' that member zakery sent me. Not sure what it is, but I like it. It appears to be Cavendish and maybe virginia. Also new to me today is the use of my Rolex Vest Pocket Pipe. OMG, be careful of the nose hairs during lighting. 8O I did avoid burnt hair aroma, but it is CLOSE. :roll:
So, the little pipe smokes well. The odd shaped bowl is different, but it actually is deep and holds plenty of tobacco. This will be my travel pipe from now on. Easy to clean, small and works nicely. The pipe is black right now, I will probably strip it, I like the color of briar. The black will remain as highlights I hope.
I found that my favorite tamper wouldn't fit the bowl, until I turned it over and used the other end. The tamper is one of those 'pocket knife' designs with a poker and 'knife' scraper and the tamper. The hinge end of the pocket knife fit the bowl and served as a fine tamper.
