What Pipes or Pipe Tobacco did you smoke today? [pics] 2022-2023

• Coffee inside the cup: interior of the pipe bowl
• Kompoloi colors: pipe bit colors: donut
• Butterflies on the cup: flowers on the table cloth
• Trapezoidal 3D perspective of the tray

What lovely, balanced, visual elements, @Sid.Stavros. And I almost missed the cartoon character on the rock.

on the rock.

Thank you Bob! Isn't a rock it's Briar from a tree from my birthplace, here we call it Salty-briar tree, here is an example:

which back in the good old times you could find it in the beaches,a nice spot with shadow for rest. Now that the ''tourist's money'' lead the way many traditional things are disappeared due to ''recast''.

Long Cigar Scrap in my Pipe

The closest that I can determine the age of this random, long cigar scrap, which is mostly wrapper and binder varieties, is that it was tucked away when the gallon bag was jammed full, some time during the past decade or so. I discover these treasures from time to time, while shuffling through bags and bags of finished tobacco. Unlike my bags of short cigar scrap, which are primarily bits and pieces of cigar filler varieties, this bag is mostly intact strips of tobacco that would seem to require shredding, prior to smoking it in a pipe.

The long scrap is in low case. Rather than go to all the bother of shredding and mixing it, I just grab a small handful of an assortment of colors, crush it, and pack it into a pipe. If need be, for proper air flow, I pierce the packed bowl several times with a thin, rigid steel rod.

I should call this pipe blend, "Surprise!", since every bowl is different. It's smoke pH comes in around the typical pH of cigar smoke—toward the alkaline side.

GREEK INDEPENDENCE WAR 1821-2023 Anniversary

As today at 25 March 1821 the Orthodox Greeks officially started the revolution against the ottoman empire fighting the muslim turks and their allies (from albania, bosnia, tunisia, egypt, croatia, algeria etc) to end an almost 400 year old tyranny.
Their motto was "Freedom of Death" and in few areas that the turks never manage to invade was "Victory or Death".

I am smoking Pöschl Exclusiv Mixture No. 7 (Plum & Rum) and at dinner i will raise a glass of red wine for the fallen fellow countrymen in the battlefield and those which tortured till death in prisons.
