Following that up with some Bayou Morning. I had a tin of this but got a little bulk!

I have a tin but haven’t opened it yet, been going through some other blends, how is it?

Coniston Cut Plug in the world’s slowest coloring meer along with a warm holiday beverage - the Tom & Jerry

How many bowls have you run through it approximately?

More Anthology ‘23 in a Manz. There are not many VA I can smoke back to back bowls and not irritate my mouth.

Hmmm...I got a tin of this for Christmas, I may have to bust into it. I also have a hard time with Virginias irritating my mouth.

How many bowls have you run through it approximately?

Several hundred since 2015 but most of the “color” is probably dirt from my hands. The shank is showing some actual color from smoking it. I don’t care much and it’s not why I love this pipe but someday I’d like to see some real coloring. Just have to keep smoking it I guess.

So which one do you like better? Match Victorian or Bayou Morning? They're a tossup for me.

Pondering de-virginizing this unsmoked Jeantet mini lovat. Deciding on a blend….

Got the new clay! Maiden smoke is Five Brothers!

Dang, nice and crisp molding on that one! None of mine are nearly so clean cut.

Closing out the night on my 37th anniversary, I chose the Bonfiglioli contest pipe with some 2000 Christmas Cheer.
