***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2022?***

[LotusEater]

This again

It really sucks that Syrian latakia and McClellan virginias aren’t readily or affordably available any more. On the plus side - I’m very happy with this new to me Castello KK (pi).

Old photo, just so I can reminisce on the good old days when the sun used to shine down under, @VDL_Piper I share your pain.

Speaking of pain, spotted this little fella whilst walking the dog today.
She was completely oblivious to it thank god.

Last evening smoked H&H Anniversary Kake in a Corn Cob Country Gentlemen. First time smoking this blend and it reminded me of the sweetness (dark fruit) one gets from Frog Morton, albeit with no latakia. Was pleasantly surprised and delighted! Will smoke again for sure!

Good Sunday morning all. Elizabethan Mixture in my MM Emerald. Footie on the tv, coffee in the mug.

@craig61a I enjoyed the Ennerdale Flake in my clay pipes; my local tobacconist in Chesterfield sells it loose. Given them a shout out on the Plastic Free Chesterfield community.

Anglers Dream in a cob. Another beautiful day today. Got quite chilly last night. Warmed up to 79 today. My favorite time of the year!

Found a tub of Angler's Dream out in the wild yesterday! still waiting to open it. Hoping it's held up well over time. I Smoked some Golden Sceptre in a sasieni this fine cool morning

I have plenty of it, but thanks. Maybe I’ll queue up my John Lennon and the Plastic Ono band album…

Perfect morning with Epiphany in a MarkTwain.

I'm interested in reusing and recycling everything I can
Not much single use plastic with me; I get my toiletries and cleaning bottles refilled, I use the Ocean Saver cleaning refills and when I go to Buxton I fill my water bottle at the drinking fountain.
Got 2 jackets I found while litter picking - in my size

That's very commendable! I can't stand plastic either but it's everywhere. I'll never understand how people can't clean up after themselves, it's the bare minimum of general decency. I'd be disgusted and ashamed of myself.
Good thing people like you are out there. King of the Clay, Hero of Sheffield.

Smoking some Black & Beauty (Cavendish, Perique and few Virginias) in my third home made pipe. A deep orange flame grain half bent apple with rectangular shank and ebonite half-saddle stem. Paired with a mug of hot strong black tea, finished with pouring cream and cane sugar.

Nice work!
I especially like the shape of the stem

Yeah, I'll probably just leave it like it is. Perhaps a ring of cork stuck inbetween would soak up, store and over time release moisture without soiling the fingers and look pretty nice to boot.
When it starts to smell bad, replace it cheap. I think I'll try that!

Did you ever try the boiling water and press-method? Put the tenon in boiling hot water for a minute or so. Then press it on the tabletop in right angle. Repeat if necessary until the right fit. It will compress the tenon a little bit and make it wider as far as it’s made of acryl or ebonite. Be careful not to overdo this, otherwise it may crack the shank. Repaired twice a loose fit with that, cracked a fine line in one.
