@JimInks you have some of the coolest looking pipes.

Thank you. I am extremely fortunate to have them, and have a few good friends to thank for a big part of it, especially the very old ones. I can't tell you how many times I have felt like the luckiest man in the pipe community because of that.

Having written that, there are many people who have better collections than I do. I know at least a dozen people who have over 2,000 pipes. One friend of mine has over 400 old, mostly patent Dunhill along with patent Parkers, and plenty of pre-World War Two pipes along with a lot of artisan pipes. And he'll be the first to admit that he's not even in the top ten of collectors. Quite amazing.

Even though this is a diet day, m'lady decided to surprise me with my favorite soup, New England clam chowder, as an appetizer. Dinner was a salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the half way mark of this bowl of year 2008 Astley’s No. 109 in a straight smooth dark brown year 1926 Parker Super Bruyere patent 3 63/F lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

I'm ending the evening smoking Boswell No Bite Delite in my Bones bent brandy while I watch the hurricane develop.

Boswell Military Force in a Boswell Bent Freehand Pipe.

Did some low calorie snacking, and am smoking 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. Just fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger.

Last smoke of the day is year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a smooth straight brown 1950 Dunhill 48 bulldog group 4 root briar with a black vulcanite fish tail saddle stem.

Slept a few minutes, but that was all, so I got up and looked out the back door window to see that Harry the Hairy was hungry, so I fed him. He was in need of attention, and tried to crawl up my leg, so I picked him up and held him. The sudden sound of thunder must have scared him because he wanted me to put him down, so I did. Well, no sense in wasting good smoking time so I am almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Orlik Golden Sliced in a smooth brown medium bend Abbott 788 (Sasieni family era) author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Have a few things I want to research.

I had a feew pipes to clean so I filled my big Lorenzetti with Star of the East and went to work. May read a bit while I finish it. Have a good evening BoB.

Good Morning!
The animals are fed and watered on this chilly morning. I'm starting my usual GLP Westminster in a bent MM Apple Diplomat along with a hot cup of coffee.

Good Afternoon my friends. Well after days & days of torrential rain all over the UK. Flooding has made a return to many parts of the country, including my region.
It's a real pain in the a%@!. Considering we have not long recovered from last year's flooding. And on top of that, I have picked up a nasty cold. So there will be no pipe for me until it clears up dagnabit. That's my rant over my friends, I hope your day and forthcoming week, is far better.

On the way to the big box store for parrot feed. Keeping me company is GLP Kensington in a bent MM Missouri Pride.

Good morning BoB,
Yesterday, I ate something that disagreed with me and that caused me to get little sleep. Had a bowl of Captain Black Cherry mixed with some Sutliff Chocolate Supreme in the very early morning to chip away at my pound of CB C. The combination of these two had a distinct cigarette flavor which was not good. Went back to sleep and woke up a bit later for work.
On my short drive to work, I smoked a bowl of SWR Aromatic, much tastier.
Now working at the lazer cutter, drinking fancy green tea and reading posts by you guys.
I plan to make another loaf of sandwich bread later today along with expending some brain power figuring out what to get loved ones for Christmas.

It`s been a busy couple of days here,Yesterday morning I woke up with a cold. So I have not posted much lately. Smoking my Caminetto billiard with SWR aromatic, since yesterday I can`t taste or smell much of anything,but It`s comforting to have a pipe in my mouth.

Half way through this bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. It's rained off and on so far, so I'll skip walking today. Fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. Watching Mad Dog Russo. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I had a great surprise from the postie this morning. A very large package from America, stuffed full of various tobacco. A wonderful gift from ralphmcculley. Thank you so much buddy. And so without further ado, I'm going to fill a bowl of Cowboy Coffee in a Petersons Zippo collaboration billard, and thank God for the day I joined this awesome forum. Have a great day my friends, and once again thank you RalphView attachment 21667View attachment 21668

Glad you like it Sir!

Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a golden delicious apple on the side. I was so busy watching Tiger's pitcher Skubal pitch a tremendous game that I forgot to post that I smoked a bowl 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. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.

Now smoking year 2018 Mac Baren HH Burley Flake in a 1979 smooth straight dark brown Loewe Army 910 billiard with a silver cap military mount and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to take a forum break to take care of some stuff. See ya later.

Appetizer smoke is Orlik Golden Sliced in a bent MM Let Freedom Ring along with a fresh cup of coffee.

Bluff Blend topped half up with PS Luxury Navy Flake in an MM General with forever stem. We got a nice amount of needed rain today. A little vistor was watching me as I puffed.

Finally getting for my first smoke of the day: Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a Jansen's N.O. bent volcano with saddle stem.
