After a day and a half of power washing the mold off my sidewalks/driveway, I'm ready for a smoke and drink. Up this evening, KG Sutliff VaPer 2.0 in the Tinsky Golden Blast Christmas 2023; Sutliff Match 20 in a '49 Dunhill Shell LB F/T. A vodka ranch water on the side.
Pipe Of The Day (POTD)
- Thread starter jwhite
- Start date
This morning I returned to form with my OG Grabow Starfire and BCA.
Savinelli Punto Oro 614.
Having some Super Value Amaretto in an old Dutch clay pipe.
I decided upon the Slainte with BCA this morning in churchwarden mode.
No time for a pipe last night, but I loaded some Sir Walter with a pinch of Stirling Flake into the Keyser military-mount billiard. This morning, with coffee, it yielded about a twenty-minute smoke. I set the pipe aside and may be able to finish up a few more minutes this evening after work.
Q for the long-time burley smokers: This KBV (Ken Byron Ventures) tobacco, Burley Morning Pipe, sounds intriguing; $12 for 2 oz. of bulk. Anybody tried it? What's it like?

Remember to forget me!
Gawith Hoggarth No.27 Perique Flake in a Parker curved Dublin.
And so I did: lit up before dinner for a pleasant and enlivening fifteen minutes' smoke. This combo of Stirling and SWR needs a name; I plan to try it again. And the Frank method of loading my pipes, at least the larger ones, is working pretty well, too.
After a short night I decided to charge Project Digby with half a bowl of BCA before charging back into the fray.
Randy Wiley Galleon Pot (44).
Using the Frank method, I've loaded a mix of Stirling Flake and Match Carter Hall, about 25/75, into the French no-name Lumberman. It awaits me at home in the kitchen closet where I keep all my smoking gear -- safe from the cats!
Made another trip around the sun today. Celebrating the day with some C&D ‘23 Anthology in a Hearth & Home Signature briar.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, sir!
Thank you!Happy birthday!

You know what’s funny and ironic about that. In 2018 on my birthday when I was still stationed out in Ventura, CA, there was a 5.5 earthquake that hit off the coast near the Channel Islands. I was sitting in my Jeep at the time in the driveway and I thought someone had jumped on my back bumper and was flexing it. It wasn’t until I saw the panes of glass vibrate that I realized it was an earthquake.
