Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of Missouri Meerschaum Party Line in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a gold and black swirl acrylic tapered stem. Working on a review of this blend. All three new Missouri Meerschaum blend go on sale this Friday. I'm doing my best to have the reviews done before the release date.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking Missouri Meerschaum Party Line in a straight dark brownish sculpted 1960-70s Peterson meer poker with a factory replacement tapered black AB p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Desert Amphibian in an Altinay Dublin meerschaum. I must say, most of my pipes were prepared for smoking homeblends. You feel like you're going down a shelf, but I think the tobacco is actually very high quality, no chemical preservatives either. I'm getting some organizing drawers today so I can better store the bags. And make more room for my pipes!

Part way through this bowl of Missouri Meerschaum Luminaire in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a tapered dark tortoise shell colored acrylic stem. Writing reviews of the three MM blends. I'll post them at TR tomorrow. They go on sale Friday. This broken flake blend has red Va.s, SJP, stoved cavendish, and Katerini Orientals.

Charley,

We have a Braun SCA certified coffee maker that brews 5oz. up to a 50oz pot in increments. The Specialty Coffee Association tests coffee makers to their Gold Standard which means they wet the grounds and pause so the coffee can expand then deliver water at the proper temperature. You can achieve that with a pour over setup or a Chemex. French Presses also make an excellent cup of coffee similar to the cowboy brewing method.
I remember back when I was looking for the right drip coffee maker that water temp of at least 180 F or above was a mark of a good machine. I ended up buying a Philips model that made this temp, so bought several off ebay, Goodwill stores or wherever. They were made in the Netherlands and had like a 1200 watt rating on the heater. I like a Chenex and think mine brings out the nutty flavors in coffee.
 
Now smoking Missouri Meerschaum DrawDown in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem. This will get me to dinner time. Writing tobacco reviews. Getting close to time for the Braves-D-Backs game.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught catfish and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm passing the first third of this bowl of Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
