Enjoying English Oriental in my new Irish Harp 80s Bulldog Sandblast. First time I've had a good experience with it.

Only thing I don't like about it is that to get it to pass a pipe cleaner you have to do a fair bit of gymnastics.

Good morning, BoB. Christmas crash is hitting me, too many days of rich food with little activity. That being said I'm sitting here with Breakfast of Champions going instead of jogging three miles. I might be able to jog three miles, if I stopped regularly for coffee and a treat and a bowl maybe an episode on Netflix...I think I could do that three miles, jogging - in a day. If I didn't have to do anything else for the week.:unsure: Have a great day guys!

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking 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. One of these days, I'll take a new photograph of this pipe to show how it's darkened since I got it. Gold Star Peruvian Macchu Picchu, neat, is my drink. It's one of the best coffees in the GS line up.

I'm back from a walk with Jacksie. I enjoyed another English blend that I recently purchased from Wilke, Surbrug Crystal Palace (the other two were Surbrug's Best Make, and Gentry Royal Blend #2) in a pre-republic Peterson 221/406 prince with silver band and a slightly bent vulcanite p-lip stem.

Near the half way mark of this bowl of year 2018 Dunhill London Mixture in a brown medium bend 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank with a military mount and a tapered black acrylic stem.

Ordered up a Peterson churchwarden on their special offering received today.. Dunno if I'll keep it; will see when it arrives. Kind silly, as I don't smoke in the house and a CW is really an armchair pipe, plus I prefer large bowls and a p-lip so we'll see if this one sticks. I've never owned a CW except for my old clay which I typically break out for Christmas. So Merry Christmas to all the BOB Brothern; hope you have a special Christmas smoke, and best wishes for the coming year...

Got the Pete Churchwarden and while I'm sure it's a fine pipe it will be going back. Nothing wrong with it except that the bowl is, for me, too small and dainty and not nearly enough "meat". I suspicioned that going in in and even compared the measurements to another Peterson I have and thought it might be OK, but no. I keep doing this; don't know what's wrong with me when I know better.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cod and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the first third of this bowl of year 2020 Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching a Gene Autry movie with Sleepy Suzy by my side.
