I remember seeing him smoke his pipe on that show but never wondered what he was smoking, so thanks for the information.
I smoked Borkum Riff Original and the whiskey blend when I started pipe smoking. I have thought occasionally about buying a pouch just for nostalgia sake.

I then cut the shank and, after insuring a good tenon fit, I proceeded to rough shape the stem to the shank...

Re: Pipe refinishing
I then placed the inline shank punch hole in the live center and, using the appropriate drill bit in the chuck, I carefully guided the shank onto the bit to extend the mortise BEFORE shortening the shank. That way I already have a "guide hole" for my bit. The punch holes don't matter since I'm planning on rusticating that area anyway...

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
@PappyJoe
Great looking group of guys.
There are 2 pipe clubs in the St. Louis area: STL Pipe Club, and the Lewis & Clark Pipe Club.
I'm a member, but unfortunately I can't make the meetings. I do get their literature, etc.
Must be wonderful to sit around and enjoy a bowl(s) and good conversation.
I'm happy for you...

I remember that pipe and LOVE it!
It's one of the pipes responsible for starting the establishment of "my list"...
That stem is such a good pairing with that briar.

Re: Mixing blends or other tobacco to make your own blend.
Bridges is a nice mixture: relatively equal parts of C&D Green River Vanilla, Sutliff ZBC, and Lane BCA, along with a lightly refurbished EA Carey, all gifts from a generous brother and friend.
