I'll do so.
After the very short boxing match (winner by knock out Klitschko) now I go to bed.

over and out.

@Tomi:
here you get some information about Indigo:

"Eine feine Mischung von Virginia- und Zimbabwe-Tabaken, White Tennessee Burley und feuergetrocknetem Kentucky, verfeinert mit Honig, Vanille und Pflaume, doppelt fermentiert zu einem Black Cavendish.
Dazu ein weißgoldener Virginia und Mittelmeeraromen."

"A nice mixture of Virginia and Zimbabwe- tobaccos, White Tennessee Burley and fire-dryed Kentucky, with honey, vanilla and plum, double fermented to a Black Cavendish.
Completed with a white-golden Virginia and mediterranean aromes."

It is a mild tobacco, some people wrote "over flowered".

I think I smoke this tobacco and go back to harder stuff.

Thanks Thomas.
I think i'll pass Indigo for now.

This is the first day this year when daytime temps are above 0 C. The spring is finally here and snow will be gone in 5 or 6 weeks maybe.
The time has come when i can enjoy my morning pipe outdoors without feeling too damn cold. So now it is time for some chocolate flake and morning coffee.

Old Joe Krantz in a Whitehall Grand National. Great smoke with my coffee.

Did not like the last pipe I made. So I sanded, and sanded, and sanded. Then I sanded a little more to get it down to bare wood. Then I gave it a different stain, buffed and polished it. Turned out much better (the one on the left).

The one on the right was an old estate pipe that was black and crusted but I got a glimmer of figuring in the ebay photo. So I put in a low ball bid and picked it up for $12. Gave it a good scrubbing to clean out years of gunk, started with tripoli and worked my way up to chrome oxide then wax. The stem got the same treatment to get the old brown discolouration out of it. Buffed up nicely.

Fodder,

Beautiful pipes, both. Now, I'm not going to start making pipes...but, the one you resurrected has got my wheels turning. Getting an quality old razor for a song then, making it look and shave wonderfully has been such a "kick in the pants"!....pipe restoring???...a new..."I don't need it" hobby??? How will the womenfolk react?
