I blended 515-RC, Dark Fired Kentucky and Perique. The ratios are really odd, but it worked. Worked better than I anticipated actually. Ted and Sam have approved, Ken has now approved. Just waiting on @markinor's opinion. I'm mixing up more tonight, it's going to have to sit and meld together for a while, but I'll make sure there's plenty. That does sound interesting

Your box arrived this afternoon with my Custom-Bilt that you and Walt pepesdad1 worked on together. I must say that a buffer sure does add that extra touch to briar Josh. A big thank you to Josh and Walt for bringing this old lady back to smoke another day. Here's a couple of pix: And some of Josh's experimental blend that accompanied the pipe: I can tell you right now, the bag note is mild/medium sweetness, vinegar, somewhat muted smoke/spice, possible fruit. I will be testing this out in the Custom-Bilt and the F.Baki Meerschaum. Thank you for the opportunity to test drive this blend Josh

Smoking McClelland Anniversary 2017 in an Ascorti hand made half bent Dublin. Accompanied by Peet's coffee. Ooooh. This pipe gives me strong feelings. I love a Dublin, and this one is particularly cool. Anyway! About to go hit some Dorcester in my 1/4 bent Kaywoodie Dublin. Cheers all, JD

I had to break out the under armor heat gear today... it wasnโt hot by Arizona standards, but I found myself seeking shade. About 80 for a high.

Been in Chicago area for the past week. Temps mostly in the 20's, and work schedule prevented me from having an opportunity to have a pipe. Got home about an hour ago. Have made my way up to the cave, had a bowl of Magnum Opus earlier and am now enjoying some 2012 Margate in my Meer Bent Bulldog....
