Relaxing after a wonderful shrimp dinner with a bowl of the best durn tobacco made today: Strang in a 2003 smooth medium bent straight grain Ardor Venere Extra signed by Dorelio Rovera Dublin with a black acrylic stem.
A third of the way through this bowl of D&R A.B. Rimboche in a smooth straight pre-transition Barling 313 T.V.F. EXEXEL pot with a black ebonite stem. Needed more perique!
Now enjoying McCranie’s Red Ribbon, vintage 2000 in a smooth straight WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Working and listening to to the Royals-Mariners game.
Three Star Blue aged 12 years in my Don Warren Morta Poker Pipe with a straight shank and stem. This pipe was made to my specifications, as far as the size of the bowl and chamber dimensions. Great smoker and well crafted.
The last of my open stash of GLP Jack Knife RR in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite stem. Working and phone chatting about pipe tobacco.
Last smoke of the day is 2014 Peretti No. 8 Slice in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite stem. This will take a while to smoke!
