Half way through 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink. When I woke up, the li'l orange fella ran to greet me. I bent down to rub his head, and Long Tail came over and started climbing up my leg for attention. Nice way to start a day.

Howdy gents. The day is calm and kind. Currently finishing a delightful morning bowl of Old Dark Fired in a sweet slightly bent blasted pot. Planning on firing up "Old Reliable" - my trusty, classic, ancient Weber charcoal kettle later today for some tasty vittles this evening. Got an epic pot of cowboy beans to serve on the side. I must be doing something right lol. Went crazy and ordered some tobacco this morning. I haven't bought any tobacco in several years. There are rumors up this way that legislation may soon get passed that will prohibit online tobacco sales in Alaska. So last night I was perusing Smoking Pipes. Saw they had a couple blends I dig that are often hard to source as they go quickly. Went back and forth with myself over justifying the expense and finally talked myself into just placing the order this morning over java and smoldering bowl of Old Dark Fired. Oh yeah. No brainer. Cheers to the day, fellas.

Hello JimInks - Just wanted to say this pipe really catches my eye - great lines. Which is odd, as I am usually drawn to more trad shapes. I appreciate how you post pics on the regular of your pipes. Man you can roll through some pipes in one day - impressive lol. Thanks again to you and to all who post pipe pics. I am going to have to up my game and post up some pics. Carry on. :)
 
Enjoyed a Jethro Bodine size bowl of Raisin Bran with extra raisins, and a peach and a golden delicious apple on the side for lunch. I've about a third of a bowl left of year 2012 Virginia Spice in a 1979 pebble relief natural Verona Corallo 3080 Hungarian with a black acrylic saddle stem. Coffee from a freshly opened bag of Gold Star 50th, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-Pirates game.

Thank you. That pipe was made for me by my good friend Basil Meadows. I asked him for a squashed tomato, and Basil exceeded my expectations. That stem color is a fav of mine, and until I got this gem, I only had one pipe with that stem color. Basil didn't know that when he made the pipe, and I had no idea what the stem color was going to be. You can imagine how happy I was when I got this pipe. Basil knew I was going to dedicate it to EGR, so he took that photo for me as an extra surprise. It's better than the ones I take.

We love to see photos of your pipes, man. It helps us connect with each other.
 
Good Morning!
After doing chores I loaded an MM Apple Diplomat with GLP Westminster to go along with a cup of coffee. Archie decided to join me!

Thank you for giving them a great home, buddy.

Their fur has grown in and they happily eat with the cats and by themselves. Zita started playing with them yesterday morning and they've become trusting of the dog. I wish we could have spent more time together!
I wish we could have, too. You and your lady are awesome, caring people.

That photo is awesome, too. Thank you. I sure wish I could find a home for the other two, but nobody wants them.
 
Did a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Spent some time chatting with my neighbors who have been trying to help us find a home for the two kittens. They haven't had any luck either.

Pipes&Cigars best of the rest blend in the big mystery meer. In the glass is a nice relatively local bourbon. With a nice smokyness and rye forward profile on the initial taste and finishes surprisingly smooth, especially for 105 proof. And affordable definitely good for the price imho.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cod and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've a third of a bowl left of year 2021 unreleased Sutliff Black Virginia Flake in a late 80's, early 90s James Upshall P DS Tilshead England Made By Hand L185 Canadian with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. If the orange fella stops bathing my left arm, I'll clean a few pipes.
