@Chasing Embers I enjoyed it in my clay pipes; I like the maple syrup flavour. Been picking a lot of fruit recently; made a pear
crumble last night 
with some pears off the tree at Manor Drive.
Good morning. Smoking now, a bowl of Capstan Gold, in a Ser Jacopo Calabash. I wish you guys a happy weekend.
Also finished up my C&D Sun Bear from last night. Great morning for pipes. 54 degrees. Not a soul in sight.
Of course every wood is darkening when it comes to age, some more, some less. Briar can become quite dark over the years especially when it’s left as it is without stain, varnish or overcoat with carnauba wax. Daylight, Heat and sweating hands will speed up the process further.
I think leaving the wood raw to ageing is part of the bones concept, when I look at those nicely sandblasted pipes. Enjoy!
Have you considered making rumtopf with the fruit?@Chasing Embers I enjoyed it in my clay pipes; I like the maple syrup flavour. Been picking a lot of fruit recently; made a pear
Add fruit over the spring and summer seasons to a large jar or crock as it gets ripe, add a healthy amount of sugar, top with rum, and place a weight on the mixture to weigh the fruit down.
I believe pears are generally the last fruit of the season. Then you let the rumtopf mature and infuse until Christmas for a tasty adult beverage.
The fruit is delicious on pound cake or ice cream.
That’s a beautiful pair, reminds me of my Maas cased set that I don’t smoke nearly enough. I’ll have to pull it off the shelf and bust em out.
I noticed that danishpipeshop had couple of those mini pokers for sale maybe last winter but they sold out quickly.
How is it smoking? Does it easily get too hot?
Starting the day ofd with a cup of Iron Bean Coffee and a bowl of Three Nuns in a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baker St (XL13) bulldog.
I find a lot of aromatic English blends a bit too over topped for me personally so I use three parts Boneyard and one part Eastfarthing or Lavish English to make a fairly subtle English aro. This new 1906 Heckle and Jeckle (thanks Jim the name stuck) has a large bowl perfect for this concoction.
First bowl in this Jesse Jones NASPC POY.
Special pipe needs special tobacco - FM Cellar to be sure…
One of those Nirvana moments with a perfect pipe and a great tobacco

Good afternoon. Smoking a delicious rocket, I don't know what the heck it is, it was without a ring, smells like H Upmann, if it can be. Let's pair this beautiful firecracker, with a small cup of Pikesville Straight Ray whiskey.![IMG_4929[5628].jpg](https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/data/attachments/169/169547-8514ea24f9a1491adfb4c4a9fd54287e.jpg "IMG_4929[5628].jpg")
It's a shape that had to grow on me. I used to hate 55s. Still a bit hit or miss, but generally I like them.
Ah, cool. I'm familiar with this having worked with Cherry wood, leaving it in the sun, even for just an afternoon and it will darken significantly.
Having some sutliff Victorian (Elizabethan match) in a Comoy’s Extraordinaire golden bark shape 100 with 3 part C. Happy smokes all!
First smoke all week, have gotten over a cold last weekend and this week been getting my arse kicked courtesy of all the Canola fields going nuts (coming in to spring down under)..
Anyways.. just had a sublime bowl of cube cut University Flake in the Savinelli Fantasia 111KS.
Smokes like a dream.
