Late night bowl of KBV Notorious - a delightfully cool Lat bomb with a toasty burley lead in - smoking it in this Doctor's sandblasted brandy:

Oops, I should have said: Scotty’s University Professor as the tobacco
Daughters & Ryan Windsail Platinum in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, rainbow trout and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've about a quarter of a bowl left of KBV Verge Engine Santa Drive in a 1978 Peterson Deluxe 20S medium bend smooth dark brown billiard with a silver cap military mount black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Seven Pointed three star Lee with Presbyterian.
Half way through this bowl of year 2021 KBV Your Welcome in a straight smooth dark brown 1930s (Comoy’s) Canadian Club 230 eight paneled billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
2022 CRF in a Becker 4 clubs sandblasted pot.
C&D Bayou Morning in a Peterson Kildare Canadian.
Having Cult Blood Red Moon in my earliest Eugène-Léon Ropp pipe, a Cherrywood with a Natural Horn Stem.
It’s stamped “Bussang,” so, it’s very likely it was made at Ropp’s original workshop there between 1870–1893.
This pipe has @Chasing Embers worthy proportions, with a 3.25" chamber depth and 11.75" overall length. Here it is next to a Savinelli 320 KS to give a sense of scale.

Enjoyed a tasty Envy apple, and am smoking D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Have a couple of more bowls left in this bag of VIP. Communty Coffee, neat, is my drink. Listening to the Dodgers-D-Backs game as I go to work.
Very close to the mountain lion dimensions.
That last picture looks like the straight grain is flame shooting up the side of the bowl from the birdseye, neat effect and great that you see that while clenching.
You could try some beeswax on the tenon, maybe a couple coats over time so the mortise soaks it up. That might give you a better seal.
Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend in a pre-Lane Charatan Selected bent brandy.
A third of the way through this bowl of 2021 Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
GL Pease Charing Cross in a Safferling bent tadpole.
Thank you, you are kind sir!
No website and no Instagram, I'm just a hobbyist having fun, Work and family leave me little time for that.
Also, I just have a hand drill with vertical support, I don't have room for other machines, with my questionable results I think it's best to leave the sale to professionals who do amazing jobs and live with it.
Sometimes I get requests, "I try" to please friends, but not for profit.
Anyway, for fun, I can send you some pictures of my horrors, there are only twenty, so I'm also inexperienced LOL.
