Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
18 this morning (cart cover weather here), then I had a choice:
Either help the wife prepare for the family gathering at our house, or she would change the locks on the doors the next time I left to play golf...
After thinking for a second, but no more than 2, I felt it in my best interest to assist her any way I could with the preparations.
Now that my obligations have been fulfilled, I'm enjoying some Tinderbox After Dinner in a restemmed Calabrest...

Re: Pipe refinishing
@RockyMountainBriar
Mounts in your chuck. Then the stem slides into the 2 slots to hold that end in place as it turns.
Lousy pics (sorry), and I used my bent stem to give you the idea. Naturally the stem should be straight, but again, I just used the one I was smoking to give you the idea...
The opening gradually becomes smaller to allow for various sizes of stems...

Happy Thanksgiving!
The turkeys, chickens, rabbits, cats, dog and me have all had breakfast. I'm relaxing with an MM Bent Apple Diplomat filled with GLP Abingdon and a cup of coffee.

After dinner smoke is GLP Abingdon in an MM Boone with spiced rum and apple cider.
I was in charge of the dump run and got the job of taste and smell testing tomorrow's feast. Just got a taste of the cornbread being used in the dressing.

Re: What's for Dinner? (Pairing pipe, drinks & dinner)
Second pipe is GLP Kensington in a Rob Roy with freshly made Columbian coffee. This is my wife's holiday to work so I'm starting the cooking,

Into the oven at 300° for 4 1/2 hours!

Re: Christmas Blends
Wow that sounds great. They all feel gimmicky to me. But alas i couldn’t resist all temptation and went with a couple of ounces of figgy pudding by country squire. Still haven’t tried it yet though. I think I’ll wait until after thanksgiving. Happy piping

@RockyMountainBriar I’m not saying it isn’t worth it but that’s too rich for me. Also smoking one for you tonight. A little bowsers castle in the refinished Dr. Grabow bent bulldog. So much Latakia.
Last night on the other hand was parsons blend which is an aromatic like I’ve been looking for. Reviews to come eventually.
