What Are You Smoking Pages.

Just opened a tin of 2017 Frog Morton. Having it in a fav Stanwell Brushed Black apple with Earl Gray tea. This was a go to English when McClelland was still around. When they closed I managed to snag 5 tins of FM and FMOTT. Think I have 2 left. I will miss it when it's gone but CS Shepherds Pie will fill the niche.

So Shepherds Pie is one of my go to blends. I didn’t know to try or buy FM when I got back into pipes. I just defaulted to what I knew. But from my mix mixture I found Shepherds pie.

Good Morning!
It took my a while to catch up, it seems I was a bit preoccupied yesterday and neglected to post! It was mainly a day of Abingdon and Kensington. The chores are done and I'm starting a Rob Roy filled with GLP Abingdon along with a cup of coffee.

Good morning, Jim. What would be the difference between a tomato and a bullcap?

 

[Ranger107]

Good morning, Jim. What would be the difference between a tomato and a bullcap?

Size and shape.

Squashed tomato:

Btw, this is what that pipe looks like now.

Tomato:

Oops! Wrong Tomato!
Here's another Tomato.

Bullcap. Dunno why it's called that.

 

[Singed]

MT in my Cobbler with coffee for lunch. Kinda fixed on this pipe at the moment.

Re Bullcap: read on another site (PM) that Bullcap is a loose definition applied to pipes smaller than a Bulldog with the same general bowl shape and a rounded top. They also equate it with Pear shaped pipes and Freehands. Considering these things it more resembles a Rhodesian than any other. Seems like splitting hairs to me.

We passed out treats, had some of Lynda's upside-down chocolate cherry birthday cake, and, fixed some of the wind damage and now it's break time. I made a fresh press pot of Brazilian coffee and loaded an MM Morgan with GLP Laurel Heights.

I love the updated image of your Squat Tomato, Jim. The patina is very nice. That hairy Tomato in the middle looks like a handful, though.

Part way through this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a smooth brown quarter bend post-2002 Porsche Design 277-04 radiator horn Made in Holland with an aluminum cap and a tapered black acrylic stem. First time smoking this new-to-me pipe that a great friend gifted me. Coffee from a freshly opened bag of Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.

I finally get a porsche, and I can't drive the durn thing.

Thanks, Jim! I have a pipe which I classified as a tomato, but looks a lot like your bullcap to my novice eyes.
