Good morning my fellow BoBs.
Well what can I say, phew what a birthday weekend that was, I think I can remember most of it, but I'm going to need a month to detox lol.
Oh well back to normality. Today I'm going to part load one of my new pipes, and start breaking it in.
Oh the new pipes, when Mrs Z threw me the catalogue I was spoilt for choice, but decided on 2 petes from their Evening collection.
Both Army Ebonies with a stirling silver mount and marblesk stem.
Pipe one
Is a Peterson Evening XL21 a bent briar with a large sized, Dublin shaped bowl. It has a thick wall, with a fairly deep bowl and large bore
Pipe two
The Peterson Evening XL21 a very distinctive classic Bulldog with a diamond shaped straight shank and the classic double groove round another large bowl.
Along with these, Mrs Z also bought me 4 tins of tobacco, of various blends, which I haven't tried before. (Report will follow).
I did get a new Savinelli from my brother, and 6 tins of tobacco. But I'll save that report for another day too. As this post is fast turning into a book.
So it's Petersons Early Morning pipe in the XL21 Evening Bulldog, for its first gentle smoke.
Have a great day my friends
