Now smoking Sutliff Pipe Force Episode IV in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. This crumble cake goes on sale July 12. Working on a review of it.
I had a nice Italian dinner of chicken & ravioli w/red sauce. Now smoking a Winslow bent apple ,Lane TK-6 and a decaf k-cup. It`s after 7pm here and its still 82 degrees...
Just back from dropping off a flock of layers, I took a Pride filled with GLP Kensington with me and poured a glass of Red Moscato wine when we got home.
Relaxing after a wonderful load of chicken legs and potatoes dinner with sliced peaches and apples for dessert. I've a third of a bowl left of Sutliff Pipe Force Episode IV in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow acrylic stem.
Passing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Working and listening to the Dodgers-Pirates game. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Just finished smoking year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a 2016 straight smooth dark brown Peterson Sportsman 87 apple with a nickel cap military mount and a tapered black acrylic fishtail stem. Haven't smoked this pipe lately.
Now smoking Wilke No. 24 in a smooth straight brown 1949 KBB Yello-Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Virginia Bright with Perique in a Savinelli Miele, really a nice tobacco for this brightly bent pipe.
I've been stressed because of all the meerschaums I f@#$ed up with wax. I've tried heating it and freezing it and different solvents that just spread the wax around. I'll have to endure it and hope that in its function as a pipe it will dissipate the wax over time.
There's very little on the internet about this, obviously you're safer with a very thin layer rubbed on when it's warm, but I was so tempted by the colors it brought out. Like a waitress said at work the other day, "Life is a learning experience." Or George Clooney in Oh Brother Where Art Thou, "We're all looking for answers."
Passing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2018 Mac Baren Acadian Perique in a straight smooth brown 1933-36 KBB Yello-Bole Honey Cured Briar 2384 Acorn with a tapered yellow rock ambra stem. Working and listening to The Saint from my radio collection.
Last smoke of the day is year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2002 smooth top, black sandblasted quarter bend military mount Karl Erik Ekstravagant horn with a horn insert in the ferrule and black acrylic stem. Have a few things to do before bed time.
Before I fill this Parker 578 Billiard with some Petersons Early Morning pipe.
I'd like to take the opportunity to wish all my American Friends and fellow BoBs.
An awesome Independence Day. Enjoy your special day everybody.
