Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a black sandblast PSB medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 228/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Just finished cleaning a few pipes.
My SP order arrived today (early), so having a bowl of Warped Kings Stride in an Edward's Virgin Algerian briar pot no. 2. These can be good deals on the bay. I'm including a picture of the underside of the bowl to show the birdseye which shows as straight grain on the one side. The blend is nice and creamy from the cigar cavendish, then the perique kicks in for fruit and some nutty flavor from the burley. I like it, but value the Cloudhopper and Until the End for their own attributes.
A third of the way through this bowl of year 2022 Peter Heinrichs Special Curly in the first pipe Trever Talbot made when he went to France many years ago. It's a smooth straight Algerian briar Lumberman with a long shank and a black vulcanite saddle stem, unbranded. Enjoyed a great chat with a great guy.
I've passed the first third of this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem.
Appetizer/dessert pipe is GLP Westminster in an MM Rob Roy along with a cup of coffee. While grocery shopping we got a couple of soft shell lobsters and asparagus to go with them for dinner.
The third and final goody that arrived on Monday is Sutliff Cringle Flake Holiday Edition 2023, which I plan to smoke in a Peterson Dublin Edition 999. My drink is Dooley's 5 Y.O. Amber Rum over ice. I'm contuing my leisurely journey in The Lord of the Rings.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with a bowl 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. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Enjoyed a tasty red delicious apple, and have a third of a bowl left of year 2021 first production Watch City Simply Orange Virginia in a black sandblast medium bend Peterson POTY 4AB No. 182/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. I posted the wrong POY last time.
This is the premium sand blast that I smoked earlier.
Ending the day with GLP Horizon's Flake in a Pride along with a glass of wine. I put together this Pic to get a laugh from an old friend that I enjoyed many pipes and bottles of Lambrusco with well over 40 years ago!
Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2014 Astley’s No. 55 in a 1915-1920 straight smooth dark brown BBB Own Make 150 apple with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
I had a ultrasound last week guys noooo I am not pregnant phew And I had a convo with the chickadee that was doing it about the uses for the spleen, and I commented how often you hear of someone rupturing their spleen. And I said it is probably the seatbelt's fault and she said mmm I never thought about it yeah your prob right. True david?
ps if so still always wear seatbelts please people I would rather a busted organ than death any day!
Half way through this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Down Yonder in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LB Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This will finish the tin. Dunno what I'll smoke in the Dunhill set next as I am taking a break from this blend. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am not far from finishing this bowl from a freshly opened pouch of year 2012 Prince Albert in a straight smooth walnut 1927 KBB Kaywoodie Drinkless 86 dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This model was only made in 1927. I've been smoking PA out of a 2019 tub for a while, but I found this box of PA today, and decided to open it. The pouch inside it wasn't sealed, but the tobacco was still fresh and moist.
A third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. With any luck, I can end the day with this smoke. A few hours ago, I brought Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave in to eat. Harry the Hairy ate outside. We've had a lot of hard rain this evening, so I have kept them in, and just fed them again. The rain has stopped, and I'll put Tomato out when I go to bed. He's snoozin' on a cat nip toy he was playing with. Daisy is snoozin' on her favorite blanket. Sleepy Suzy is by my side, and Molly Danger is sleeping in the bedroom. I have four more baseball box scores to read, and then I'll do some other reading. A pipe and a good book is a natural pleasure for me.
