Carolina Red Flake at the advice of @Ben.R.C . First bowl last night was really good but the second bowl I loaded into a White Spot for this morning and a little drying time really brought it out. I’ll be getting more thanks to peer pressure and BenRC enabling my TAD. Prayers sent to @JOHN72 for his wife’s recovery. View attachment 252770

True, I dry it a bit, but I tend to dry everything a bit. Glad you like it!

Good morning. While I am preparing some things at home, before leaving for the hospital, I am smoking a cigar, a classic Tuscan cigar. On October 9th my wife had a complete hysterectomy operation. I am practically living in the hospital until she is discharged and I take her home. She had benign myomas removed, all together they are about the size of a baby. A pandemic that, as you know, attacks women, unfortunately. I wish you a happy day. Here it is a holiday, Virgen del Pilar. God bless you guys.

Good to hear from you @JOHN72 , I pray for your wife’s complete recovery, thank you once again for the nautical art.

Last Sunday I was in town on some serious business so before heading into my local Cigaret Shopper I told myself "in 'n out, and do not buy another Grabow...unless it's like, a really nice one or something."

2015 Union Square in the Charl Goussard.
Had a tooth yanked yesterday. It was broken beyond repair. So this is my first smoke in 24 hours.

Yes I know - dry socket etc - luckily my dentist is a family friend and cigar smoker.
He knows I smoke a pipe so he told me to give it a day and make sure I have a good blood clot. Wet some gauze and keep it covering the area while smoking.
So that's what I'm doing. He said the vacuum created while smoking a pipe likely isn't enough to cause dry socket so I could take a chance.
Here I am taking a chance.

I love the tools, bet they feel good in the hand.

Bummed that I broke my favourite meer, a Kiko which had coloured very nicely but a crack had developed and it was inevitable I guess. It’ll be thrown in the river hopefully to be discovered and pondered over in the next century by some mudlark or other.
Anyway I decided to grab a neglected Barling Sovereign off the shelf and pack some G’s 1820 cross cut flake.

I guess this is his website?

Dýmky Hodula

Did he just recently pass?

Sorry to hear...

yes - it was his site - his brother makes some pipes from time to time, but not regularly. Mister Hodula died approx. 5 years ago.

John, prayers for both your wife & yourself. May she heal well & quickly. Pipes & prayers seem to go together as we ponder life.
