Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 1963 STG Greve Hamilton Blandning in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth octagonal paneled billiard meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Going to compare it to the earlier version that I smoked, and last year's production, which I haven't smoked yet. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Decided to treat myself to a bowl of Oriental Silk in my Clarin cutty. It's always a bit of a treat or ritual for me to use one of my clay pipes, not only because they are a clean smoking pipe but also because of their fragile nature. I tend to be more attentive to my smoke when I use one.

Ending the smoking day with GLP Westminster in a bent MM Legend Rob Roy along with a glass of Crisp White box wine. I had quite the conversation with a great friend that brought up images of Jack Benny, Bob Hope and a laundry list of comedians from the 60's and 70's!
I don't suppose Lenny Bruce was one of them? I especially liked his autobiography, How to Talk Dirty and Influence People. To have been a fly on the wall....
 
Both were a bit before my time, I've had to be satisfied with archived footage of great comedians like Lenny Bruce, George Carlin and the Smothers brothers. Bruce always appeals more to me as a satirist, though some labelled him a satyrist. Good night BoB.

Thought I'd leave you all a clue about my favourite pipe as a lad growing up.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking Seattle Pipe Club Give Me Liberty in a straight smooth medium brown pre-1920 straight Marechal Ruchon & Cie. Royale apple with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Watching Robert Benchley shorts.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and then smoked a bowl of year 2021 KBV Your Welcome in a straight smooth dark brown 1930s (Comoy’s) Canadian Club 230 eight paneled billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Having another marathon phone chat with the same fella I talked to all day. You'd think he'd know better by now. ;)

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of Watch City Original Crumb Cut in a 1950s-60s straight smooth brown Bertram 07 octagonal paneled billiard with a square shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. I may end the day with this smoke. Been busy chatting still, and extra busy traffic copping feral and my cats eating. My buddy feels sympathy for all I have to do to feed everybody in peace. And I deserve it!! :)

Good evening my friends and fellow BoBs ☺️
I'm about to fill a Savinelli Tortuga with some Petersons EMP. This will be my first smoke in a number of weeks, after battling a particularly nasty cold, followed by an horrendous cough, that I just couldn't shift. However i do feel much better now. I just hope I don't honk my lungs up in the middle of the room 😊. As always
have yourselves a great day my friends.
 
Good morning BoB!
The skies are overcast here in centeral Oregon but it's still a bright day. There's a light drizzle which feels refreshing and smells sweet.
I started my day with Captain's Nuts in my MM cob followed by a bowl of John Bull Fragrent English in a different cob.
The John blend is new to me. I taste a lot of the things I'm supposed to taste like smoke, cocoa, a sweetness, and a little hay like taste being most prominent but I must be losing it because I also taste cat pee. It's a minor flavor and it's hard to place but the closest thing I can approximate it to is that.
It's going right into the trash, the first time I've put tobacco there.
 
It's been a very busy day, folks. I started off my day with a 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. Got my EGR reinforcements today. It'll be years before I have to worry about running out of this blend.

Then, I ran a couple of errands, got my teeth cleaned, and the dentist said no cavities, which pleased me greatly. On the way home, I smoked a bowl of year 2019 G&H Dark Flake Unscented in a small smooth straight dark brown circa-1950s Lane Commodore paneled pot with a black tapered vulcanite stem. All the ferals were strategically waiting around the back deck for me to feed them. They all ate very heartily.

Then, I enjoyed a tasty and very late lunch, smoked a bowl of 1970s Heine's Blend in a 2013 medium bend Spillproof corndog cob with a triangular briar shank and a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Currently, I am a third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy, neat, is my drink.
