Sigh... I got out of my pastoral call and loaded the pipe before pulling out of the driveway. I am error prone with things like this on the phone.

Peterson Hyde Park in the Three Star Bulldog. It's really crazy how much the pipe can effect the flavor of a blend.

You should give that IMP a beeswax bath. They love it and wow, does it ever bring out color!
What do you do? Melt the wax and dunk it in?
It really is just that simple! Cork the chamber, melt the beeswax and submerge it to the stem. I swirl it around in the melted beeswax and then shake off the excess, and wipe/polish the pipe with a soft cloth. Easy!
Cool! I'll have to hunt for some corks next time I go to the store. Is that something I can grab at Walmart or? I can't say I've ever looked for corks. Thanks Kevin!

Done with work for the week, the girls are here for the weekend and want pizza for dinner. Dad doesn't have to cook tonight! :D Having some Haunted Bookshop in this Grabow with some hot Kenya AA coffee. Life is good!

Thank you, Father! I'll see if the mom and pop hardware store is open on Sunday after the girls go home. If not, I'll check Lowe's. Penelope (the older of my girls) is a little under the weather and I don't want to drag her out shopping. She needs to rest up for school on Monday
