Just finished smoking 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.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am half way through this bowl of the newly made Wilke Back Bay Light in an undated straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Sterling bulldog 150 with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. This blend has much less perique (10%) than the regular Back Bay (which was my idea that John Brandt blended). This version was my idea, too, as I wanted a lighter VaPer for this pipe. This is the first time I have smoked this pipe which will be dedicated to this blend. Gold Star Jamaican Blue Mountain, neat, is my drink.

Good morning BoBs. Slept in a bit. Had a bad night with back pain. Probably only slept for 3 hours total. Anyway, having a big bowl of the new batch of Urban Cowboy in the huge Don Carlos bent dublin with cowboy coffee. Zippo, that's a pretty long name for it. And, we already have a Trail Boss, your name for the blend I made from the St. Patrick's Day Reserve. What say we call it Cattle Drive? I think the dove flock is getting bigger. Lol.
They look very happy Ranger. Great bird seed feeder set up can I ask what the white bag looking thingy hanging on the rhs is?
 
Did a second set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of the freshly made Wilke Wall Street Light in a post-WW2 straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 3 Shamrock bulldog with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. This blend has much less perique (10%) than the regular Wall Street (which was my idea that John Brandt blended). This version was my idea, too, as I wanted a lighter BurPer for this pipe. This is the first time I have smoked this pipe which will be dedicated to this blend.

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of KBV Prince of Wales in a straight smooth terracotta 2014 Sherlock Holmes Baker Street bulldog with sterling silver band and a tapered black p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. I have more Pete bulldogs than I realized.

After a very long day of business meetings, I’m really enjoying my first smoke of the day: Elizabethan Mixture in my Missouri Meeschaum Hardwood Poker.

The lineup for the evening is The Royal Yacht in my MM Charred Hardwood Poker and some G.L. Pease Gaslight in my Old German Clay Basic Briar straight poker.
It’s the eighth and final night of Hanukkah and I’m glad to have spent some time during the Festival of Lights with all of you. Wishing shalom (peace) and ahava (love) to all of my chaverim (friends) here in the BoB Forums. For those of you looking forward to your holidays—or just some time off—in the coming weeks, I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I smoked this bowl of KBV Mr. Christian’s Kraken Plug in a post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 bulldog with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Nigel Bruce smoked this model in two Sherlock Holmes movies. If you’re interested in getting one, please contact Smoking Pipes and ask them to put this model back into production. Gold Star Yemen Red Mocha Harrazaa+, neat, is my drink.

The mystery of Shy Stripesy’s current deep fear of me is solved. It’s another cat. Compare the first two photos of Shy Stripesy with the bottom two photos of the other cat. Shy Stripesy is afraid of me but nothing like this one is, which I had seen a few times at the top of the street. That one was always scared of everybody. It’s not much comfort to me, but at least I know what’s been happening now.

Interesting group of Peterson Bulldogs, almost as interesting as the ferals! That could be turned into a page on pipedia.org or the Peterson history page.
Thanks, but I know several people who have much better and rarer Pete bulldogs than I do. I don't match up to their Pete collections at all. The fellow who's given me all but two of the pre-Republics that I own has over 80. He's given away or sold another 30 or so, too.
