Re: Pipe refinishing
I decided to smoke the first bowl after refurbishing this old WDC Wellington today. It’s been sitting in a rack ready to go for many years. I had to make a cork mortise seal when I refinished it. The stem sat way too deep when I got it. It was well smoked, and pretty well cared for. It has the original (fake P-Lip) Bakelite stem. I believe the pipe to be fashioned out of domestic Manzanita/Mission briar by the grain pattern…..or lack thereof. Which means it was probably made during the WWII years when Mediterranean briar was not available.

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
Beautiful weather here today! Managed to get in 18 and now relaxing with some Queen Anne's Revenge in a @Corey562 squashed tomato...

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
Just got back from dropping the grandkids off.
Looks as if I WILL be able to honor IPSD!
Doing some RLP-6 in a repaired and reworked noname meer. Had to cut half the shank off from previous owner damage, add a shank extension and fit a new stem since the other one was bitten through beyond repair...
It's ugly, but it's a good smoking meer, and I have the satisfaction of knowing I saved another pipe...🙂

Re: The Loot! - What's your latest tobacco purchase?
@vtgrad2003 he is on Etsy. This vender has just about every kind of tamper you could think of.

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
I decided to break-in another new pipe I have had for a few years, a Peterson Short Natural 268. I loaded it with some 4th Generation “Peaty Kentucky” this evening for IPSD. Mmmm, tasty, I wish it was less expensive though.
