Did a bit of low calorie snacking, and am smoking Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite. Working and listening to Studs Terkel.

A third of a bowl left of Wilke Back Bay w/o perique in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Dublin Sterling Canadian 264 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. I got John Brandt to make this for me. It’s not on the menu, but he’ll make you a batch if you ask.

Jim, since when did chocolate chip, pecan, and raisen oatmeal cookies become low calorie snacks, lol.
 
Did a set of walking reps in the heat and humidity, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Lunch follows this smoke. Just brought the scampers to their playpen in the den.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and have a third of a bowl left of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy, neat, is my drink. Watching the Tigers-Cardinals game until the Braves-Mariners game starts at the bottom of the hour. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

It has been a long pipe less day. I cleaned my three Petersons this am, because I wanted a bowl of C&D Steamworks today. Yesterday, I checked on a well stocked pipe shop for some leftover tins, as I'd seen them there not long ago. Alas, they are gone proving if you snooze you lose. This is my most cherished blend, and I am down to 1/2 a jar which is what is left of 4 ounces from WCC. This bowl is splendid in my Peterson standard system rusticated 302 with p-lip and packed using the Peterson method. Niw, it is a much better day today. Here also is a picture of a little buddy I met after my bowl yesterday.

After a number of errands and honey-dos I'm relaxing on the patio with Arango Balkan Supreme in my Barling Sovereign bent acorn with saddle stem. The tobacco was a bit dry when I bought it, so I dropped a humidifier disc in it. The flavor has improved, I think. Listening to the audiobook of Master and Commander.
