Now smoking year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a sandblasted medium bend 1950s Reuben era Charatan Deluxe 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
After a morning of doing academic reports and such, a pre-lunch bowl of GH Brown Flake Unscented in a Lee van Cleef-style meer, and later GH Scotch Flake in a Grabow 'free-hand' -- I had forgotten that not a v good smoker for me -- good to remember!
Just finishing this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Gold in a straight black 1932 Dunhill R double patent shell pot with a vernon tenon and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Kendall Kentucky in a Vauen quarter bent billiard.
This stuff checks all the boxes for me. Full flavor, gentle on the palate, and actually has enough nicotine in it to remind me I'm smoking tobacco. Becoming my new all day smoke.
Last smoke of the day for me,Pete Lestrade with Capt. black dark and a Tim Hortons k-cup. I spent the last couple of hours trying to re-time and set an antique Westminster chime clock that I bought about a month ago. These old clocks are very sensitive,as well as frustrating.But once it`s set they're beautiful and sound fantastic!
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've about a third of a bowl left of year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.
Smoking my MM Great Dane maple hardwood that I enjoy more than I thought I would when I bought it, its a great smoker.
And some rattrays exotic passion. Beautiful tin and it took a lot of lighting but when I got half way through it, I really started to enjoy it.
It will be better once I dry it out a bit, and yes Jimlinks nailed the review as usual.
I reckon the marketing guys from MM must have a great sense of humor for naming this pipe I get a chuckle every time I smoke it.
Now smoking first release Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a straight smooth brown 1920s-30s Sasieni patent 8 dot Marborough lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Good Morning!
Just finishing my first pipe of the day, GLP Charring Cross in an MM Diplomat. Up next Peretti's Tashkent in a Pride, still on my first cup of coffee! It's sunny and spring like but winter's returning in a few days, Happy March!
WCC Stubbs Pipe in the little Algerian briar. If anything was going to make me order from WCC, it would be this blend. Of course, I'd have to throw in some old dominion slices
Sadly no pipe this am. Woke up to a new inch of snow, blowing sleet, and wind gusting to 30. Just too miserable to be outside. Hopefully will calm down later and I can sneak in a couple of bowls. Predicting 5 to 8 inch snowfall later today.
Smoking a Bari Wiking bent Rhodesian with MB 7 seas regular and the last of my mornings coffee,Temps rising fast,sunny 43 degrees here,Birds and squirrels are having a great time in their feeders.
Smoking a nice pedestrian bowl of 50/50 Lane BCA/ Five Brothers, pressed and then broken up into a Vauen bent pot. Nothing to write home about, but nice with a cup of black coffee.
Sturdy look away my friend and skip this post . Going to plug some St.Bruno in a "FALCON" fitted with a Dover bowl, Along with Condor, these use to be among my favourite smokes at this time of day. Until Ranger gifted me the sublime Hobbit Weed, and Rivendell. And relegated both St.Bruno & Condor to the shelves of my evening cellar.
