A quarter of the way through this bowl of KBV Dread Planet 2023 in a straight smooth brown 1920s (Comoy’s) Lions Head 123 pot with a black tapered vulcanite stem.

No problem! I get it! Variety and cohesion is tough but you are making it work!Thank you! I am particular and i like variety!
Burley Flake #1 in a Rossi Notte 8114 tonight.

You will see more and more of my posts coming from my above the garage hideaway. I’m still working on a cool name for it. But essentially, it’s an attic above the garage that I’ve equipped with Internet, a tv and comfy chairs so I have a retreat when the weather gets nasty. Winter is Coming, so they say. From last night’s Escudo to tonight’s 2016 PS Luxury Bullseye. I’m in a juicy VaPer kind of place. Stuffed in a Butz with a glass of peppery sweet vermouth to wash it down.

Good day you’ve had Jim!
Closing out the night with a bowl of MyMixture 965 in the Peterson and a pour of Elijah Craig Small Batch
Battling life right now, with some Amphora Burley that I forgot I had.
You'll win the battle, buddy!
It it working? great! I was not trying for cohesion across the entire collection, not that it’s that big, but focusing on sets within the collection. Really, the only significant one so far is my Satou’s, I’m working toward a 7 day set. I’d like to do the same with a few other artisans. I’m working with Abe Herbaugh on some more ideas to match my plateau tomato from him. Maybe a 3 pipe set from him. We will see, i change my mind a lot depending on what pipes I come across.
I just meant the uniqueness of each kind if tie them together if that makes sense. Definitely started looking at those makers works very cool stuff!
Awesome, I love discovering a new carver I love. I haven’t found one that calls to me quite like Satou. I do love Gotoh and Tokutomi but those are never available, when they are, prices are sky high.
Earlier, I smoked a bowl of Hearth & Home AJ’s Vaper in a pre-1952 Sutliff Falcon 372 (made by Comoy’s) smooth light brown straight bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
And I just finished smoking year 2013 Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed in a smooth dark brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam 340 patent billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

I'll have to check those guys out!
They are fun to look at. Eltang and Gotoh did a limited collab, those are special. “Gotang”
