C&D 517F Virginia Flake in a 1980 Stanwell 668 medium bend with a ferrule, half black sandblasted, half brown smooth, rough top. This will finish the trade sample.
Getting ready to leave for a gig and having one for the road - Sutliff Maple Street in my old Sunrise "Amber Grain Vintage Briar" quarter bent Bulldog 3010 Italy. I'm liking this one.
It's 21:14 CDT and finishing the day with a bowl of probably the BEST Balkan blended today, Arango Balkan Supreme this one in a Dark Relief Charatan 348 DC pot I got back in the mid '70s. :twisted:
The last of the open stash of Lane Limited Ready Rubbed in a 1979 straight smooth Dr. Grabow Grand Duke 45 pot. I jarred the rest of what I have for a later time when I don't have so much open burley blends.
Just finished work and this bowl of D&R Athey in a 1978 smooth golden brown Lorenzo Adria Standard 733 full bend egg. Next is 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.
