A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke AE #2 beta test in a straight dark brownish sculpted 1960-70s Peterson meer poker with a factory replacement tapered black AB p-lip stem. Writing an opinion of this beta blend.

"What are you going to do today," she said. "I don't know," I said. "The lawn needs mowed and the garage could use some straightening up." "Why don't you go fishing," she said. "Smoke a couple of pipefuls, and have a nice cocktail afterword." (Actually I made that second part up, but she really did say the first part!). Well, you gotta love a woman like that, and you sure don't want to disappoint her! So, a sweet 3wt split bamboo rod, Figgy Pudding in a Pete B42, a bunch of fat bluegills, a hot shower, my slippers, and a generous tumbler of The Famous Grouse. Life does not suck...

PS Luxury Navy Flake in a newly acquired and cleaned S&R Pipes acorn with rustication. This pipe didn't seem to be heavily used, so clean up wasn't too hard. Lots of black oxidation from the stem now on a Mr. Clean magic eraser. I used castile soap and a toothbrush on the briar. The bowl is surprisingly generous and I got about two flakes in there easily. It draws very well with little effort and staying fairly cool. I think they might have used Grecian briar.

Good Afternoon friends and fellow BoBs. Another sunshine day in old blighty. Not bad at all for April, which is normally wet and breezy. So today I thought for my first smoke, it will be some Condor in a Parker Earl 391 Dublin. Its our 50th wedding anniversary today, so will be going out a little later for dinner and drinks, with family and friends.
Congrats Zippo and Mrs. Z!
 
Half way through this bowl of year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. This will get me to dinner time. I have my TV on so I can watch the Reds-Pirates game while listening to the Braves-Astros game on the XM since the video for that game is on Apple TV. Just finshed cleaning some pipes.

Enjoyed a wonderful salad, chicken primavera and green beans dinner with a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. Just finished smoking year 2020 Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake in a straight smooth brown 1933-1945 Comoy’s patent Grand Slam 159 *4 apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
