Molto Dolce this afternoon. Wish I had written a date on the tin I know it's been opened over two years. Still very moist.

Nice birdseye!
FVF this evening. They say the B5 is Peterson's "trademark" shape, but i daresay anyone with even a passing knowledge of pipes would recognize this 80S as a Pete (even without the "P" on the stem)...
PA Cherry Vanilla for last pipe of the day. Ive always liked it and the PA Soft Vanilla as well.
Morning pre- and post-breakfast pipe: a mix of burley/cavendish Ethereal with some Stirling Flake for wake-up power, in the slim Orlik Large Chimney. I like this Ethereal stuff for its mild suggestion of "dry red wine." Fifteen minutes before breakfast, during which I allowed the pipe to cool a bit, and then another ten or so after.
Perhaps I'll dub this pipe the "Judge's Pipe," after the British "shrewd judge" in wig on the lid of the Orlik Golden Slices tin. Which blend I need to try someday.

First bowl, second cup...
Peterson GPSS group pipe, 1st year I believe. / MB Acadian Perique
Two bowls today.
For the first Boswell’s Cupcake in a cob, and for the second, Boswell’s Best in my Pete Newgrange spigot 408.

Sitting on my daughter’s back porch enjoying a smoke as the thunderstorms rumble through East Texas. I hope a tornado doesn’t interrupt my pipes! Smoking some KG Sutliff VaPer 2.0 in a Northern Briar’s Rox Cut Regal Jade; then CS Angry Cornishman in the 2023 Tinsky LE.

A Falcon Shillelagh and Bulldog, with Chieftain Stormy Skye. Trying out an uber cheap filter medium for the humidome. Probably a lifetime of filters on this ball of cotton yarn.
I have used cut down 100% cotton pipe cleaners with great success. If you buy the Churchwarden length you can make a lot of rings.

Please excuse my lack of photography skills. Hopefully this works.

Looks better than what I post, believe me!

Yes, that's my usual process. I just happened to stumble across someone saying they used cotton yarn, somewhere on the internet (I forget where, or what I was actually looking for when I found it), and thought "I have some of that!".
I don't think it was quite as absorbent as a pipe cleaner, but it didn't adversely affect the smoke. I'll keep playing around with it.
