Making myself some "kolbullar" for lunch this beautiful sunday and enjoying a small brazilian cigar. Brought out the old ear flap cap though because there's still a wee bit of chill in the air. Spring is coming though, sooner than later I think. #outdoors #outdoorcooking #kolbullar #fire #cigarsmoking #cigars https://www.instagram.com/p/B-UUoOjngQp/?igshid=hyp7l2xalt93

I'm quite certain that the best cure for an aching wisdom tooth is a wee dram and something smoldering to go with it 🤕😉. #whiskey #scotch #mcallan #cigar #cigarsmoker https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Jv_w9nPDL/?igshid=1ebiaysvj2wli

First pipe of 2020 started. Still need to tighten up the shape but you get the idea of where it's going #pipemaking #handmade #smokingpipes #tobaccopipes #briar #madeinsweden #tobaccosmokingpipe #albertpipes #briarpipes #pipemaker #pipes #pipesmoker #pipesmoking https://www.instagram.com/p/B63L64Ynign/?igshid=1xh1jvk29n977

You know how sometimes you have a really crappy day? That was today! Damn I deserve this! #cigarsmoking #cigars #whiskey #mackmyra #svenskek #blackopsberserker https://www.instagram.com/p/B6q-2NknOOP/?igshid=affexz9ensmc

And here is is. My first bulldog finished. This was a fun one to make. One of the most challenging classics to make for sure. This pipe is avaliable. Shoot me a DM if interested. And sorry about the crapy pics. #pipemaking #handmade #smokingpipes #tobaccopipes #briar #madeinsweden #tobaccosmokingpipe #albertpipes #briarpipes #pipemaker #pipes #pipesmoker #pipesmoking #finished https://www.instagram.com/p/B5iGL8rHWKq/?igshid=11tupgpvx9z2f

A little update on the home grown tobacco. It's been hanging in the fermentation kiln for about six weeks now and I decided to bring it in. To be honest I'm not sure how much fermentation has actually taken place but it smells sweet and has darkened somewhat in color. Smells nothing like cigars though. I put the leaves in vacuum bags with most of the air removed and I will store it like this for a few weeks too see if I can detect any development. #tobacco #pipesmoking #gardening #tobaccogrowing #tobaccofermentation #cigars #cigarsmoking #homegrowntobacco https://www.instagram.com/p/B5bA8k6nPgo/?igshid=3dftx3lvqydq

So far so good. Now on to hand sanding and refining those lines. This one's got some purdy grain too. #pipemaking #handmade #smokingpipes #tobaccopipes #briar #madeinsweden #tobaccosmokingpipe #albertpipes #briarpipes #pipemaker #pipes #pipesmoker #pipesmoking https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Ny9r7n6t8/?igshid=ssytoeesc5rr

So I've never done a bulldog before, or anything square shanked for that matter, so today I thought I'd give it a try. Obviously alot of refinement left to be done but the basic shape is there. #pipemaking #handmade #smokingpipes #tobaccopipes #briar #madeinsweden #tobaccosmokingpipe #albertpipes #briarpipes #pipemaker #pipes #pipesmoker #pipesmoking https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-RRnonoNr/?igshid=cn7m3el9u1l7

Very close now. Just a bit of a bowl coat and stuff. #pipemaking #handmade #smokingpipes #tobaccopipes #briar #madeinsweden #tobaccosmokingpipe #albertpipes #briarpipes #pipemaker #pipes #pipesmoker #pipesmoking https://www.instagram.com/p/B4fUdKTHJLq/?igshid=fuh156nlue8l

The tobacco has been drying now for about five weeks and have turned a beautiful brown. Next is fermentation which will be interesting to see how it goes. #tobacco #tobaccogrowing #gardening #smoking #cigarsmoking #tobaccofermentation https://www.instagram.com/p/B3jQYcSnjCe/?igshid=qnupsmmoxim9

Finally making some progress on the tomato with silver band. The silver still need some work but it's getting there. In other news, my dust collector broke last week so now I have to wait for spare parts to arrive... #pipemaking #handmade #smokingpipes #tobaccopipes #briar #madeinsweden #tobaccosmokingpipe #albertpipes #briarpipes #pipemaker #pipes #pipesmoker #pipesmoking https://www.instagram.com/p/B3W_pxYnmHV/?igshid=88dkx7ic83dx

Is it a workshop or a tobacco curing barn?? Little bit of both at this point 😊 #tobacco #pipesmoking #pipesmoker #pipemaker #gardening #tobaccogrowing #plants #curingtobacco #tobaccocuring https://www.instagram.com/p/B2QwEEFoy2d/?igshid=1eg8mrnisjp4h

Zucchini freshly picked from the garden. This is the biggest one I've ever seen, let alone from our own garden. #veggies #gardening #growingvegetables #sweden #zucchini https://www.instagram.com/p/B2GxbbsoAvH/?igshid=17l81l4j50mxj

So here is what I've been doing for the past week and probably will be doing for another week. Rebuilding our bathroom. Remaking the whole floor and laying in a new carpet, and making new walls and eventually the ceiling. I really miss pipemaking and with all the furniture and stuff earlier this year I havn't been doing many pipes lately. Soon though, I'll be back at it! https://www.instagram.com/p/B1UFxUVoa70/?igshid=ohnrmvildfhu

Recieved this picture from my brother yesterday (I'm still in italy) and it seems the tobacco has grown substantialy during the last two weeks! Funny how rapidly some plants can just kick off. #tobacco #pipesmoking #pipesmoker #pipemaker #gardening #tobaccogrowing #plants https://www.instagram.com/p/B0i7w1gngUN/?igshid=c5514nw76bml
