What Are You Smoking Pages.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. The two scampers have spent most of the day and much of this evening by my side.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake in a smooth medium bend dark brown 2021 Peterson Irish Harp 80S bulldog with a silver band and a tapered reddish brown, black striped acrylic stem.

About to have some slices with a Drymaster double cooling twin bore biteproof because I am still to lazy to clean the falcons

Had some slices in this ben wade sitter. I love it but wish the slant on the top of bowl leaned the other way to suite a lefty like me ohhh well first world problems

Boswell Military Force in a Peterson 303.

Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple, and have a quarter of a bowl left of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.

Did some low calorie snacking, and have passed the half way mark of this bowl of Wilke Picket’s Charge in a post-WW2 straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 3 bulldog with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. This blend is Wall Street with much less perique (10%) than the regular W.S. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

A third of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. I may end the day with this smoke.

Sounds like the scampers are lonely, how is Sam taking the change? How are you taking the change?

Hello from Athens-Greece, we have sun with few clouds and 72 'F.

I think that's my favorite looking of your pipes, Jim. I guess it's not bent enough to be a system, right?

Good Morning my Friends. A miserable looking start to the day here in England, but it is supposed to clear up later, we're just have to wait and see.
This morning I'm going to fill a carved Meershaum with some Charatan First Bowl, a large cappuccino sits on the side.

Good morning,
Smoking my Caminetto billiard with SWRA and a mug of DD coffee. I have an appt. with a back specialist this morning. Hopefully, I can get some help ! I am trying to stay open-minded ,but most of these specialists I have seen are knife happy,because that`s where the big bucks are.

Good Morning!
Mid 50's with light rain. All the animals are fed and the Scamper brothers are frolicking. I'm enjoying the show with GLP Westminster in an MM Apple Diplomat along with a k-cup of coffee.

I hope it goes well! Have you tried the CBD creams or other cannabis based treatments. The doctors at the Rehab hospital where my wife works have recommended it to her for various sprains and strains.

A second bowl of First Bowl
In a Petersons Zippo 106 rusticated billiard. Having fun turning old bullet casings into a few tampers, using my huge collection of British military cap and collar badges that I had acquired after a lifetime of Military service. Mrs Z says I should sell them on Ebay, but I like them to much to do that

Light rain here . On the porch enjoying the pitter-patter. Grabbed the Pete sys. Great pipe, I’m glad I have one but one is enough. Filled it with my last of the CH

Zippo,

Being a US Army veteran, I can't help but wonder how British servicemen/women keep all of those cap badges straight. Over here we have shoulder patches and unit badges for our shoulder straps on dress uniforms. Come to think of it, that would be an equivalency. The other complication for us is the wildly different dress uniforms for units in your army. Granted the fact that I had no contact with the British Army during my time in Berlin back in the early 70s, but I think it would be confusing to say the least. Best regards from across the pond.

Starting with CS Choctaw in the Pete Pub and Costa Rican coffee. Charlie in my lap and the other 3 lying about on the rug. Nice day here. Zippo, love the tampers..

Hi Carl.
It was pretty easy really, all caps and berets came with precut reinforced holes to which the badges were attached either by a spike or split pin, a folded flap of either leather or cloth would sit inside the headgear to protect the skin.
Other badges, such as my regiment would have a sewn on insignia.
I hope that helps buddy.
