Re: Pipe storage
Decided to use green inserts on the second one.
In the background is the table top cabinet I'm converting into a pipe storage cabinet.
All externals are now completed: stripped, stained, and polyurethaned.
Will start working on the interior sometime near future...

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
The reason I love my Frankenpipes is because they are perfect for golf, garage, outside yardwork, etc.
I don't have to worry if they get roughed up a little bit...

Did 18 earlier today. On my 3rd shot to the green during a long par 5, the ball hit the pin about 3 feet up from the cup and it dropped straight in the hole for an eagle! I'd rather be lucky than good...😏
Got home, did a little yard work and now relaxing with some Sutliff Mark Twain in a @Corey562 artisan pipe...

Burned a couple of bowls of "Scotty's University Professor" in a Jobey Dansk 2 that I've had for years .

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
I decided to take a couple of my Kiseru pipes for a “drive”. I had some of the”Le Cerf Ardennais” Semois tobacco (a gift sample) left and thought it might be a stand-in for actual kizami tobacco. I just dipped the bowls in the bag like old codgers did with their tobacco pouches back in the day. This stuff is bone dry, but it was ok. Maybe a little sharp, but not bad. I got about 10-15 good puffs per fill. I didn’t have to relight any of the bowls either😬. I smoked 5-10 loads in each pipe. The short Kiseru is the new Tsuge I recently purchased that bums me out because the bamboo is fake. The bowl on the long one was in my Uncle Jim’s stuff I got from his estate. It has what looks like what could be a Japanese symbol/letter? engraved onto it. I would bet he brought it back from Japan after serving in the US Army in WWII. The original bamboo (rau)-stem was broken off at about ~2” and the (suikuchi)-mouthpiece was missing. I fit a piece of bamboo for the rau and cobbled a suikuchi from copper pipe and a brass fitting and used silver plumbing solder to solder them together. I’ll be damned if I can remember what a I did with the original short/broken piece of bamboo, it had a black lacquer finish🤔
