Virginia number one in a horsekeeping LLC catlinite pipe. A very interesting smoke!

- Interesting indeed: how does the Catlinite affect the smoking experience? Is it at all like a Meerschaum, or a ceramic? (I did smoke one once, but it was only a brief toke at a Chanyupa ceremony and many years ago).

Enjoying a Crooner / Pegasus Parfeit stacked as shown. The Crooner has just given up it’s ghost and now it’s Pegasus time to shine.

Gross unseasonably warm fall day. KBV Oriental Affair in a meer to cheer me up.

Only a Hunter could complain about an unseasonably warm day and only a Hunter would understand.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking the last of this jar of year 2002 F&T Cut Virginia Plug in a straight smooth brown 1920s LHS Purex double patent no. 1587048 and 19085630 Real Briar Root Silver Circle 42 apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem. One of these days, I hope I find the box I put the other CVP tins in. Gold Star Papua New Guinea, neat, is my drink.

I've never smoked ceramic. Unlike meerschaum it doesn't mute the flavors at all but did impart a buttery taste to the tobacco. This may go away with usage as this was my first smoke in it.

The bowl has very thin walls and got rather hot, so I had to let it rest quickly. The chamber is ridiculously small as well, my pinky finger hardly fit. If you'd like I could keep you updated but honestly I think it was 100% worth the $50 dollar expense USD.

Please do keep posting updates, if it's not too much trouble.
