Good Morning!
Starting a cool sunny morning with GLP Abingdon in a bent MM Apple Diplomat and a cup of Columbian coffee. Our neighbors fromm across the street are joining us for barbeque ribs and other goodies this afternoon.
Good morning BoBs. Thought I would try something different that maybe wouldn't draw gnats. So it's CS Shepherds Pie in a Calabresi bent brandy with morning CR coffee. Heading to the ranch soon for wife's riding lesson.
Half way through this bowl 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. Watching the Braves-Mets game.
Almost half 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 Cafe 645, neat, is my drink. Lunch follows this smoke.
And just when I thought it can't get any better, my wife walks out with a slice of regiano parmigiano it was so good I had to go to the garden and pick a few cherry tomatoes!
MB Three Nuns in a Bacchus meerschaum. This is the blend they chose for today's roundtable at the International Pipe Smoker Lounge, it's very good, well balanced.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking C&D Steamworks Small Batch in an undated, unbranded straight lattice meerschaum military mount with a silver cap and tapered yellow acrylic stem. Just about have the review finished. Wish I could post it at TR, but I will post it here when it's ready.
I find very interesting how my taste preferences changed over time, as well as daily, and with the season & weather.
Started today with Mountain Camp in undated GBD Sierra 2515, and it wasn't hitting it. Maybe I'll finish it tonight.
Currently, Bayou Morning in undated, smooth, bent Johs Bulldog.
Now smoking Sutliff States of Virginia Limited Edition ’23 in a smooth brown medium bend 2002 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A dublin sitter with a small horn ferrule accent and black acrylic saddle stem.
Red with Dark Fired in a Charatan's Make Executive, my first smoke in the pipe. Slender comfortable stem, great clench, and a fine home blend to get it started.
Passing the quarter mark on this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Deception Pass plug in a smooth straight brown late 1930s Linkman’s Dr. Grabow Deluxe Bruyere 9703B pot with a nickel accent and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
