Almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2010 Full Virginia Flake in a slight bend 1968 group 4S Dunhill Shell 475 cherrywood with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

This afternoon I had Peretti RTCR, a straight Virginia, in a Let Freedom Ring Rob Roy. It started out good then went downhill. After dinner smoke is GLP Abingdon in a Rob Roy.

 

[Singed]

I know you enjoyed the Abingdon, even if the Va disappointed you. I'm having Casanova in my new Rossi Canadian to end my day.

Off to work with a bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Golden Sceptre in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Ending the day with Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia while finishing a cup of coffee.

Now smoking Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Working and listening to The Falcon from my radio collection.

Now smoking year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Just fed four ferals, and am grateful for no drama. Sam the Scamp is getting a belly. Harry the Hairy has come over twice a day the last three days, but not hanging around. He does like the attention he gets, though. Tomato the Brave walked almost half of two walking laps with me earlier today. The others have been pretty quiet today.

Just over a third of a bowl left of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. I should be able to end my day with this smoke.

Good Morning!
All the animals are fed and I made a fresh pour over Thermos of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. I'm starting the day with GLP Westminster in an Apple Diplomat and a fresh cup of coffee.

Good morning,
Smoking a Bari Wiking freehand, CAO Moontrance,mug of Peet`s dark roast.It`s a sunny 40 degrees here.
Wife asked , When are you going to get started building the pipe rack? I showed her the drawings I had made a month ago and she didn`t like it...

Good morning gentlemen. Had to hold Charlie for an hour while the wife's physical therapist was here. He doesn't like dogs and Charlie is too energetic for him. LOL. Now having Tumbleweed in a Sav Hercules 606EX with morning CR coffee. Augie sitting in my lap. All is right at least in my world.

Was also disappointed with their "dry rings" which are merely the same pipe cleaners clipped to size.

Hello Singed.
I own 12 Falcons, most of which I have inherited, or been gifted. And I'm sorry to say, That I have never had a problem with cleaning any of them. However I noticed you were cleaning an angled International, and yes they are a little fiddly, but not impossible. I simply put a slight gentle curve on the pipe cleaner, and make sure there is no exposed tiny bit of wire at the end. This will then pass through much easier. I hope that helps you mate, oh yes and I agree with you. Their dry rings are a rip off. I make my own using the pipe cleaners.
Have a great day buddy

Good evening my friends and fellow BoBs . After a nice high tea with scones and crumpets. Its time to have a bowl of Petersons Sunset Breeze. My pipe of choice this evening will be a large Meershaum carved in a form of an elegant lady. A pipe I very rarely smoke, as it takes a ton of tobacco to fill. So I will only smoke it when I intend to have a very long puffing session. Have a great day my friends

Thanks so much Zippo, I will give your tips a go.

Good morning BoBs. Slight adaptation to my Breakfast of Champions line-up, The Morgan Bones Dublin is really wonderful as a morning pipe. It's on the small side, smokes clean and Mark Twain is quite flavourful in it (Jim gave me some tips about pipes and flavour that are proving fruitful, thanks Jim). I applied Zippo's recommendations about cleaning my Falcon and they were also successful, the fit is very tight though, especially shank to bowl. I'm happy this morning and very grateful for the information you guys share.

Close to finishing this bowl of pre-2014 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. All the ferals except for Daisy the Feral Princess (who spent the night inside my house), Scared Stripesy and Shy Stripesy (who I haven't seen in months) were waiting for me at strategic points in my back yard. I managed to find different places for all to eat in peace.

Just fired up some Old Professor in my new Rossi Canadian. I can't get over how light this and my Rossi Lumberman are relative to their size. Very nice entry level pipes. I would only classify two of my pipes as higher quality, and none of them are premiums. but I love them all.
