A third of a bowl left of early 2000s 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.

[Balisong]

I loaded a Rob Roy with Drucquer Casbah to enjoy with coffee when the thunderstorm started, the weather didn't disappoint me!

 

[JimInks]

Did a set of walking reps on this hot and humid day, and though I still have back pain, it helped me a bit. Smoked a bowl of year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth, fumed top three quarter bend 1970s Peterson military mount meer with a nickel cap and a black vulcanite saddle stem. I've spent three months working to get out ghosts and carbon on this pipe, so I'm test running it with a blend I am very familiar with. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Wilke No. 515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was the original 515 that Basil Rathbone smoked. The meer I smoked still has a light Lakeland ghost, so I'll work on it some more.

 

[Charley Scanlan]

Wilke Peanut Butter in a vintage block meerschaum.

Straight Virginia bright in a Mastro Geppetto Rusticato.

Straight Virginia lemon in an Altinay Zulu meerschaum.

A test blend with latakia, perique, and Virginia lemon in a CAO black brandy meerschaum.

Pipe Force Episode VI in an Altinay Dublin meerschaum.

Waxing meerschaums is fun, but I always got a little residue after it cooled, so I'm going to try a different beeswax next time. Here is a picture of CAO Mark Twain before and after waxing.

 

[Balisong]

Charley that Meerschaum came out excellent!

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a medium bend smooth dark brown 1968 Barling 5631 London England TVF billiard silver spigot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Just finishing cleaning a few pipes.

 

[Charley Scanlan]

Bob's Flake in a Peterson Limerick.

 

[Swede]

C&D Night Train in an Edward's Virgin Algerian briar pot with twin bore bit. Sometimes I smoke this pipe because I think I can taste the briar's fine nutty woody flavor. It may be a phantom impression, but an influence all the same.

 

[Ranger107]

Back from the ranch. Having SPC Mississippi RIver Special Reserve in a Design Berlin bent dublin. Ice water with some of Jim's bergs on the side. My day for finding broke things. Discovered the horse trailer emergency breakaway system not working. Dead battery and broken connector on battery so wasn't charging. Ordered new battery. Then came home to find a/c not working. Set it on 76 when we left this morning, got home to find it 85 in the house. Fan is working, so hoping it just needs freon. Time for some dinner.

 

[JimInks]

My before dinner smoke was year 2021 unreleased Sutliff Black Virginia Flake in a late 80's, early 90s James Upshall P DS Tilshead England Made By Hand L185 Canadian with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Then, I had a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. My drink is Community Coffee, neat. I've just under a third 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. Been watching the Braves-Twins game.
