MB Black Ambrosia in a bent morta. The pipe smokes! My dad and I had a nice time sitting on a bench downtown by the river while I lit it up for the first time. It gives me a lot of confidence in pipe crafting, which makes me happy. Goodnight BoBs!

Three Nuns in a Guitar&Kettlebell meerschaum. Last day of the fair, I got to watch the round robin small animals master showman judging. The kids have to know how to show a rabbit, a chicken, a pigeon, and a guinea pig. I learned how to show a rabbit thirty years ago, but they have to answer...

CD Habana Daydream in a Larsen cognac.

PS Luxury Bullseye Flake in a Mastro Geppetto Rusticato.

Virginia Burley Blendbase in a Peterson Kildare. Starting to wax five pipes.

Boggy Night in a CAO bent brandy meerschaum. Getting ready to wax this pipe, my new one, and a few others that I've smoked a lot since last time. Note to self: make more Boggy Night! Half latakia and a pinch of perique.

BB Antietam in an Altinay pot meerschaum. With nearly the last of the Guatemalan coffee. This is like having two cups of coffee in your hands. This is one blend you can always have with Starbucks if you want to.

Three Nuns in Guitar&Kettlebell meerschaum. The odd thing about this pipe is the way it was drilled, the bowl is slightly off center to the shank. And it's large, it won't take regular pipe cleaners. This pipe only required rasps, files, and sandpaper, no blueprint and no saw. I'm really glad...

Bob's Flake in a Peterson Limerick. I finished my second pipe, this one's meerschaum. I'll take a pic from the library, which is the spot I picked to smoke it first. It's an odd pipe, I'll say that.

Bob's Flake in an Altinay Zulu meerschaum.

Erinmore Flake in an Altinay Zulu meerschaum.

An aromatic blend with Oriental and dark leaf (Colombian Blend) in a MM cob. This and another cup of coffee (Colombian) is putting me on track to make another pipe. I'm not going to fiddle with making models this time, see how it goes.

Balkan Baldio in a CAO bent brandy meerschaum.

Smaug in a CAO Bekler meerschaum.

Smyrna Bright in a CAO Bekler meerschaum. Here's the finished pipe. CS 23. Pretty cool. I wanted to say slick, but the level of pipe craftsmanship isn't there yet. I'll hang on to it for the rest of my life 😆

MB Virginia no 1 in a CAO bent bulldog meerschaum.

Smoky Match in a Bacchus meerschaum.

Virginia Maryland One Sucker with Perique in an Altinay Zulu meerschaum. I'm happy, I think my new pipe is smokable. The walls are too thin everywhere but it has a nice open draw and when I cover the tobacco hole it's pretty tight. I plan to smoke it on Saturday after I come back from playing...

Smoky Match #2 in a Charatan's Make Special poker.

BB Antietam in an Altinay pot meerschaum. I made three pretty big mistakes on my first homemade pipe. First was sawing into the air hole. Second was taking too much material off of the shank so the saddle stem is bigger than the outside diameter of the shank. Third I took too much material...
