Plug cutter and silver Peterson's

My plug cutter arrived today, shall have to make a wood block for it. I also pulled some silver Peterson's out to pose for a photograph. They are all next on the 'need to clean' list. Won't be this weekend though, off to Melbourne. Next week perhaps.

Hallmarks

All Peterson Silver Mounted Pipes carry three distinctive marks :

1. The Symbol Hibernia (Ireland) denoting the country of origin.
2. .925 is a new European standard mark denoting the high quality (purity) of the silver used.
3. The Date Letter Code for the year in which the silver was hallmarked and the pipe made.

Tonight's main smoke

Tonight the good Dr Plumb the more i smoke it the better it gets.
The flake cutter is wonderful look at the flakes it cuts remember this tobacco is as hard as wood.

Can't carry all that around  when you go out.

A little corrosion ads Patina   

House of cards

So hard to rub out.

Precision  cuts need to find my vernier calipers. Forgot to cube it may be next time.

The morning jolt

The Lama packed to the brim with Irish cake.

Now that's a kick start .
