Relaxing after a wonderful salad, two giant French cut pork chops, baked potato and sweet corn dinner with a little over a quarter slce of banana cream cake for dessert. I just finished smoking year 2001 Wessex Campaign Dark Flake in a smooth dark brown medium bend year 1924 Dunhill 136A double patent apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Harry the Hairy is by my side.

Now smoking year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.

Just finished smoking year 2015 Mac Baren Modern Virginia in a medium bend, smooth dark brown 1950s Peterson 999 Shamrock chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Fed all the ferals with little drama for a change. Here's the snooze set up for each: Daisy the Feral Princess on her blanket, Abner the Eager on the couch, Harry the Hairy by my side, and Tomato the Brave on my right foot. Sleepy Suzy is in the kitchen eating. Molly Danger is with m'lady in bed.

Last smoke of the day is Peretti Blend W in a full bent black sandblasted post-WWII (Comoy’s) Gresham Magnum 816 cavalier with a tapered black vulcanite stem and bottom cap. Tomato the Brave wanted out, and now Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Reading while this bowl lasts.

About a third of a bowl left 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. Fed all the ferals, and my cats, too. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and a quarter of the way through this 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. Gold Star Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy Dark Roast, neat, is my drink.

Inside for a quick break from the rain. The never ending task of cutting and splitting firewood.
Cup of coffee and RLP-6 in this no name poker. I'm amused how I'm gravitating towards shapes I originally didn't care for when I started smoking a pipe.
Bulldogs, Pokers and Cherrywoods are my new favorites. I love being able to sit the pipe down and have it stay put most of the time. Nothing is flat here.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2019 C&D Derringer in a late 1890s, early 1900s straight smooth brown unbranded billiard with an A&D silver cap and ferrule with a tapered amber stem and orific bit.

Then, I smoked a bowl 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.

Currently, I've passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy medium bend 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Smokes as well as a first and worth the $19.95 I paid for it all those years ago. Been busy talking to David Cuneo's (Dmcmtk) sister about his passing among other things related to David.
