What Are You Smoking Pages.

Jim,
The Newman billiard's stem appears (to me!) to have been repaired as there is an almost straight line just short of the bit. Plus the amber button appears darker than the rest of the stem. Or my old eyes are just messed up and I have no idea what I'm talking about!!!! FTRPLT

I've wondered about that, too, so I took another look at it. On the other part of the stem, the colors match more, but that line is all around the bit. I felt no edges when I rubbed a fingernail against that vertical line. I even used a flashlight to look down the draft hole, and saw no seam. The material is the same. If it is a repair job, they did a great job.

Inaugural smoke in my new to me Rossi 8320. I’m taking her flying with the Squadron Leader. Smooth flight so far.View attachment 17949

I've got a Savinelli 320, and it took a while to break in and hard to avoid a hot lower bowl. I didn't push it by trying to smoke to the bottom, and it is now a good smoker. Yours is a fine looking pipe.

Well aged (2016) Chenet's Cake courtesy of @DrT999 in a Ropp Virgin De Luxe acorn with ice water. What a great blend, and the perique is wonderful and generously blended. This little pipe makes me appreciate the lines that some shapes express.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.

Currently, I am close to finishing this bowl of year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.

I couldn't post before now because of Long Tail.

Going to christen the new Rossi Canadian Sitter with Oriental Silk. No pic yet, it is a size smaller than my Rossi Lumberman with a redder stain. Will try to remember my camera to come home Friday and will take some "file photos" then.

Off to work with a bowl of 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.

Abner the Eager was here to eat this morning, and left as soon as he finished. Later this past afternoon, Harry the Hairy showed up to eat, and was so hungry that he wanted a double portion, which he got. I don’t get to spend much time with him, but I did this afternoon. Harry was so grateful for the attention that he spent a long time snoozing’ on the deck. My friend Teresa was here today, and Tomato the Brave showed her some attention… or was that vice-versa? Daisy the Feral Princess spent the day snoozing’, and staying away from Sam and the Scampers.

Smoking some Bayou Morning in a Savinelli 101 Classic Bordeaux finish. Amazing pipe! A glass of Evan Williams on the side. These Savinelli 101s are all just fantastic smokers. Never had a bad one.
