    and the clip-on bear ears are a nice accessory when using the long stem🦡

    Seriously, what are those things?

    Watch City blends came in today, Blue Ridge Special (ribbon cut) and Ahab's Comfort (flakes). I took out some flake to dry for later.

    Nice design, shows off the pipes well. Any trouble with the pipes slipping off?

    @silvermouse
    My first try at the Kendal Plug. @Eulogy sent me some Dunbar, liked it, so I was happy to find another tin.

    PS: Might want to check your PO Box.....

    No, not yet. The only issue has been the overhang from the stems, but that's typical with a double tier arrangement I guess. Solid wood, nicely made and very sturdy.

    Can you flip the top tier over? Lengthwise? That would put pulling the pipe off the top rack at a different angle, lessening the interference of the stems from the pipes below.

    You can, but the wood is nicely rounded on the edges and flat on the bottom, so if I flipped it there wouldn't be a nice look to it. The steel pins are in 3 pieces which screw together, making disassembly simple enough. Yeah, it doesn't look right if I flipped it. No big deal, it works fine.

    looking at it again I can see that. My first impression was that the wood was rounded top and bottom. Still looks like a nice piece.

    If anybody is interested, his shop is called KAFpipeWorkshop and is on Etsy. I don't know if the link will require a login or not, but here it is: https://www.etsy.com/shop/KAFpipeWorkshop?section_id=21584012

    Glad they arrived safe!! I know you don't like posting pics, so I took a close up before I boxed them.

    The cob was made by emc_custom_cobs and he can be found on Instagam. His wife makes the tampers....

    Prettiest cob I've ever seen. I'll be giving it a break-in smoke today with the new-to-me Sav Doblone d'Oro!

    One more tin of 40th and I will have enough in my cellar. It is probably my favorite McClelland blend.
