Curious how your stem is working out.
Working out GREAT! I printed a second one with slightly smaller bore (from 2.8mm to 2.5mm) and it suits the bowl, baccy and me just right. No taste from the stem, and comfortable in the mouth. Shorter stem is definitely more comfy and easy. Tenon fit is secure. I have no hesitation doing more of these for straight stems at least (i believe will get smoothest inside bore that way) but may try some slight bents someday.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm about a third of the way through this bowl of Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching the ball game.

SPC Down Yonder. Still not impressed but we’ll see what age can do.

Straight from the tin, it smelled strikingly similar to Sutliff's 507-S. I've had some jarred up for ~2 months. Looking to smoke a few bowls soon to see what I think of it. I wasn't too keen on Hogshead, but it has gotten a bit better each bowl that I've smoked, so I've got my optimism in check for this stoved leaf. Slow and steady wins the taste?

That’s my plan. I’ve got extra tins I’m gonna let age for a year.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am nearing the last third of this bowl of Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a smooth medium bend terracotta Peterson POY 2023 X160 464/1100 military mount egg with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
