Almost half way through this bowl of circa year 2000 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Now smoking Granger in an undated straight smooth medium brown Comoy’s Tradition 110B billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Cold and rainy again. Hope the ice and sleet doesn't get bad when it gets here.

Now smoking year 2010 Mac Baren Burley London Blend in a 2017 smooth, straight medium brown made in France Comoy’s Riband 298 Canadian with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Going to work soon.

So sad to hear about Paul. Did it mention cause of death? Prayers for him and his family.

No cause of death given. I do miss his posts. He always found such simple pleasure in a pipe and sitting in nature. He had a blog that is still up waxing poetic about his love for clay pipes, and there's a section called Ruminations over Cowboy Coffee: fortheloveofclay.net

Trying out for the first time a pipe I received in a trade with Ranger: A Stanwell 139 Brushed Brown 9mm. Gawith Hoggart Ennerdale Mixture.

The pipe is pretty basic aesthetically but . . .
The thin acrylic saddle stem is comfortable enough I don't need a softie. Yay!
Pipe stayed lit from first light to final ash with no fuss or need for attention. Yay!
Pipe didn't cost me any extra money. Yay!
Ennerdale tastes a little less weird with the 9mm. Half a yay.
Verdict: three and a half out of four ain't bad.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am now smoking year 2018 Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a 1982 smooth straight Dunhill Root Briar 31051 Dublin with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Working and listening to a Jim Croce concert.

Now smoking KBV Festivus VaPer beta test in a 1978 Peterson Deluxe 20S medium bend smooth dark brown billiard with a silver cap military mount black vulcanite saddle stem and p-lip.

A third of the way through this bowl of Greeneyes Bright Virginia Crumble in an undated (1970s?) unbranded straight paneled sandblasted Tanshell Dunhill second with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Taking a work break.

Glad you are enjoying it. Always smoked well for me just did not need 2 almost identical piper. I am surprised how well most Stanwells smoke given their modest cost.

Very sad. Might I suggest a memoriam smoke in his honor. We know how much he loved burley. Maybe Sunday am we could all fire up a bowl of burley in his memory. Perhaps one of the mods like blackhorse could arrange it?

Got my TAD order from CS this afternoon. Wanted to explore more of their blends, so besides more Rivendell ordered 6 other blends. Starting my journey with Shepherds Pie in a Pete B42 bent apple with military mount.

Smoking some Five Brothers in a Hendon billiard.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, barbecued French cut pork chops and asparagus dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth straight late ‘50s, 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. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of year 2000 Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in a brown 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem. Going to back to work soon.

CH in a Butz magnum full bent chimney billiard. Thinking about Paul of Burley. Have a couple of tins of HH old dark fired I scored from P&C on their sale. Think I will pop one open today and have it ready for a bowl tomorrow in honor of Paul's passing. I miss his posts and his insights not only about tobacco but life style in general. Hope for him that they have clay pipes and burley tobac in heaven.

The ice storm knocked the power out for thousands of residents where I live. Finally, the power came back on. I took the opportunity to sleep in a little. I've about a third of a bowl left of circa year 2000 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. A cup of hot tea is my drink.
