    C&D Dark Fired Kentucky in a cob. Went very nice with a little colder and windy morning.

    Celebrating the start of Fall with KBV Mountains of Madness in one of my Peterson XL-315 pipes with the Diet Dr. Pepper tenon extension/condenser stem. It's been quite a while since I've smoked this latakia heavy blend, but I'm enjoying it in the cool morning air while I water the garden with Gigi the Hellmutt. It's supposed to hit 85 F today, though.

    Not yet, hopefully soon. This time of the year can get pretty slow in Georgia

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    McClelland's Syrian Super Balkan in my older calabash.

    I had the McClelland Syrian Super Balkan yesterday in my older calabash. When I went to clean the bowl out after smoking, the bottom fell out of the bowl.

    Very disappointing.

    So, anyway, I wanted to compare the C & D Super Balkan, new to me, hoping that they would be the same, or at least similar.

    They are not.

    But, the C & D is quite good, in its own way.

    Carry on.

    If the bottom of the bowl is in one piece maybe it can be cemented back on with the heat tolerant gasket cement used on wood stoves.

    I briefly considered something like that, I probably still have some of that cement from when I used a wood stove, but what kind of fumes might that produce? Also, the gourd was already cracked and held together with electrician's tape. It had a good run, it was time to let it go. Were I to hang on to the pipe it would have become an impending project that would probably never come to be. So it goes.

    @Amos_Umwhat As I head toward 72 years, I agree with your way of thinking! Less crap for the wife and kids to worry about! But now that I’m retired, I find myself fixing things around the house! While I was working, I would tell the wife to call someone! So far I’ve saved about a 1000 $ on plumbing projects that I did myself! Utube is great!

    New C&D CRF in the AK. Haven’t smoked anything in 8 days. Fresh palate. IMHO, this needs to have some down time and age a bit. Virginias seem flat tasting, not in a bad way. Doesn’t have the same out of the tin flavors as other predecessors.

    2024 CRF in the Spanu. Much better 🤙🏼 Might have to try one of the earliest versions for comparison purposes 😬
