Captain Black Cherry with my F.E.S.S churchwarden. Mouth piece on my Scott broke.
Good morning brothers and sisters of the leaf.
A bowl of C&D Big-n-Burley in an IMP Meerschaum. Black coffee. View attachment 166326
Second Test - A bowl of Country Squire Old Toby in the Barontini 1/2 spigot to test the new pipemud bowl coating - The pipe got barely warm but not hot and I choo-choo trained for a minute to stoke the ember - The new bowl coating seems to work ! I did pick up slight flavoring from the bowl coating but that will burn off after another bowl or two. Next project will be to remove the heat damaged varnish and replace with paragon wax once I get some, but that will be a photographed process so I can make a post about it in repairs thread. So far so good. Have a great rest of the day ! P.S. Old Toby is always tasty !Happy September to everyone ! I had a test 1/2 bowl of Green Dragon in the Barontini1/2 spigot bent billiard. Due to a very porous hot spot on the pipe I lined the chamber with a thick layer of pipe mud (at least 1mm) and the pipe barely got warm to the touch. This is my second attempt but I think I did it properly this time. (Thanks to this forum and past threads!!) This may have resolved the issue but further testing must be done as time allows ! Enjoy the day. All the best !
