Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
I know I'm late to this.
@opipeman In 1983 I was working in Seattle manufacturing specialized hoists (very large) that are used on sea based oil platforms, and the guy working nearest me in the facility, Pete, a veritable mountain of a man dipped Copenhagen.
What was unusual about Pete was he only got 2 dips out of a tin. He would literally start shaking after 5 to 10 minutes; I asked him one afternoon, why so much, he answered "I like the buzz", I'd guess he didn't make it to 50.
He offered and I tried a couple of times, holly crap it was strong, but I could not stand it getting in my teeth.
I prefer Red Man but only chewed when I was hunting.

Re: Pipe refinishing
Bad news: Two areas on the inside of the rim were severely charred. My only alternative was to flange the inside rim down to good briar. Obviously he allowed his lighter to habitually pause over those 2 spots upon each light/relight, causing the deep charring.
I did try to match the original stain on the stummel. For those who are interested, I finally found a good combination: 30 drops of Buckskin with 1 drop of Oxblood...
Anyway, here's the final:

Re: Pipe refinishing
Next was the internals. Had to use a wire to push through the stem (almost totally blocked)... then I lightly sanded the stummel, continued cleaning with wood soap and then a vigorous alcohol scrub. The stummel was very dirty and coated with grim. I also started working on the rim. Going to need some work there, and at this point, I don't even want to look at the stem!😏 FYI: Only 2 of those are regular pipe cleaners. The rest are bristled pipe cleaners (greatly needed)...

Re: Pipe refinishing
Well, I told you might be a while before I get to that pipe because of Christmas. For example, I spent most of my day Thursday, and 4 hours yesterday putting the grandkids GEO TRACKS together for their Christmas vacation here...

I have some Holger Danske “Original Orange” loaded in my Rattray’s Chubby Jacky Natural with Horn for this evenings “festivities”. I have it paired with some Ethiopian Light Roast coffee.
