Nothing again this weekend for me, as my sinuses and ears continue to punish me for it being spring. I hesitate to say this, but. Have you tried eating local honey? It has the particulates in your area that cause allergies. They say they help to immunize you. It has to be honey from your area. |

I'm smoking spill tray tobacco in my old workhorse, the Kristi freehand, mostly burleys with a bit of Old Black Magic mixed in if I'm not mistaken, with a Diet Coke nearby, and bedtime just around the corner.

My allergies usually aren't bad at all, so this all caught me off-guard. Thanks for the suggestion. |

Ran about 6 bristle cleaners with Everclear and 8 regular tapered through the current Mark Twain and surprisingly, it finally came out clean enough I could see the brown of the shank wood in the bottom, beyond the pitch black cake that it had been. After a good shank cleaning and a bit of a dry, I've put the 14k gold filled band on and a Forever stem type A in orange/black. I tried to take a few photos comparing this two year old Mark Twain to that of a new but the lighting I have just kept making the photos looked too washed out. The new look white with plaster of Paris while this one is virtually all darkened yellow all around and coloring from the smoking. These pipes are the thickest Missouri Meerschaum cobs and can really take a licking. Thousands of smokes and it just keeps on kicking. I'll just post one comparison pic to see if it's more noticeable on screen.
Smoking my last bowl of 2012 McClelland's Frog Morton Cellar in it. Not the pictured 2001 tin of Stonehenge Flake 
What a difference that stem makes, very cool. |
