What a surprise today! Discovered a misplaced jar of a self-blended St. Bruno RR and Gold Block emulating the self-styled Ogden’s Mixture. Date on the lid stated 21 months. Cracked it open and stuffed my favorite cob. Hmmm-mmm!
Just finished (well, except for some dottle) a bowl of Epiphany in The Sacrificial Cob. The damn thing just keeps trying to burn out further despite my attempt to seal up the gap and build up protective cake by careful smoking, so I'm gonna throw it away.
Enjoying WCC Waltham Broken Cake in a Scottie Piersel NASPC 2020. Chose a larger bowl to experience the depth of this blend. Are you experienced? Not necessarily beautiful, just…
Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Black Irish X in a Meer...
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am half way through this bowl of Sutliff English Oriental #400341 in a full bend black pebble finish 2001 Rinaldo Lithos YY8 Titania Silver Line egg with a tapered black acrylic stem. Larry's El Salvador Dali, neat, is my drink. Watching the BBC.
Use some fireplace mortar to line it instead of tossing it.
Good evening. After having a light dinner, an Andalusian gazpacho. I start smoking a bowl of Davidoff Argentina Cavendish. In a MM Diplomat pipe. I will accompany it with a glass of whiskey. I wish you guys a happy weekend.![IMG_4892[5593].jpg](https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/data/attachments/168/168110-6c6c6d4b223c0c0f5581e725ddb1117a.jpg "IMG_4892[5593].jpg")
2012 Astleys no 44 Dark Flake in a Jack Howell Paneled Billiard.
Now smoking Chris Morgan Jackalope in a straight burgundy sandblasted year 2019 straight Ryan Alden J billiard/pot with a tapered cumberland stem.
Just finished a bowl of 2007 G.L. Pease Westminster, a gift from my 2019 Secret Santa, in a Peterson Emerald.
Had two bowls this evening, a Latakia forwarded Torus Blend Latakia, Sweet
Kentucky, Virginias, Orient in the MM and right now Old Man’s Pipe Story, Burley, Orient, Perique in an Erikson Bulldog. Both tobaccos from Tom Darasz in Kiel.
I'm definitely keeping that option in mind for a briar that I'm worried about, but it felt great to throw away this particular cob!
Condor in a MM Country Gentleman, catching the lightning and listening to those who up there, beyond the clouds, move their chairs without lifting them
Lace Wars event this weekend cancelled due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II:-(
Condor Ready Rubbed in a clay; shame to waste my pipe baccy now the Lace Wars event has been cancelled; the problem is I bought an extra packet so I'd have enough for the re-enactment weekend...
I won’t use fireplace mortar in pipes. The cement industry uses a hell of a mix to produce such special mortar.
On the government site Research on the Thermal Properties of Fireplace Concrete Materials Containing Various Mineral Aggregates Enriched by Organic and Inorganic Fibers - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7918858/
you can get a clue of the complexity of their recipes: „The properties of concrete materials with rubber waste particles were also studied [17]. In the literature review, studies on the thermal properties of concretes and mortars containing recycled glass as fine aggregates [18] and reinforced concretes containing steel, plastic, and glass fibers [19] were found. Concrete is a multi-phase and complex system.“
The other point is the price of a bag of fireplace mortar, it’s quite expensive. Better to get some plaster of Paris it’s cheap, activated charcoal (maybe any charcoal will do) grinded to fine powder and salt. 2 parts plaster, 1 part coal, 1part salt mixed with some water will do the job. With plaster of Paris you could also repair cracked meerschaum inlays, as I recently did. Have a nice day.
