Well I do believe that I will start my new years resolution tonight with some Peterson's irish flake in my bewlay churchwarden. I will be sitting at work for 6 hrs working on a new razor I picked up, luckily it doesn't need much sanding, and I believe I have some scales that will fit it, so its all good
Orlik Golden slices in my trusty Peterson.
My favourite 'baccy in one of my favourite makers...a tested combination for a wonderful smoke. I go there often. Well done!Quote:

one pipe for 2 days... My son was married yesterday and in the running around I followed my wife and noticed only one brake light was working. :-[ I had 1/2 a bowl while replacing them in sub 0'F temps. After the wedding {today} I finished it and have no pictures because I gave the tin [plumcake] and a pipe to a young friend.
Plan Bravo...
(for all you New Year's Resolutionists)
. Take a vintage cherrywood Ropp pipe from the antique store with remnants of 'different' tobaccos from past, interesting nights,
. Take three or four cigarette buts from the ashtray on the outdoor table from New's Years Eve; nicely softened from Adelaide's recent moist, humid weather
. Squeeze the tobacco from the butts into the pipe
. Smoke
Still adhering to the 'No cigarettes from now on Resolution' yet still imbibing...

Made in France if I'm not mistaken. Nice pipes.

Maybe some clay to completely seal it?
