This morning, Brown Flake Unscented in a Grabow Grand Duke; this afternoon, Wiz's ATBE VaPer in an MM Legend; this evening, 1792 in a Pioneer meer Poker
Now smoking Sir Walter Raleigh in a black 1997 Brebbia Jubilee 925 silver banded grain sandblast briar calabash with a black acrylic stem. Watching Gunsmoke. Almost finished with the entire series.
Last smoke of the day is Granger in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite stem.
Awake again, and smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite stem. Simply Orange is my drink. Watching Have Gun, Will Travel.
John Patton's Storm Front
Aldo Velani blonde smooth Brandy bowl with an oval shank and slight bend to the wide extremely comfortable stem. This pipe is dedicated to Burley blends.
Almost finished smoking Stokkebye Natural Dutch Cavendish in a 1970s medium bend smooth Ben Wade Golden Walnut freehand with a black vulcanite stem. Watching Dressed to Kill with Rathbone and Bruce.
I'm not really enjoying Escudo, so it's to time try a bowl in a cob:
Escudo dated 2009 in a MM Diplomat Cob pipe.
UPDATE: this navy roll is not for me, to grassy! Might as well smoke the front lawn dried a bit. Maybe that's why in the past 10 years I tend to lean more towards Burley Blends.
SG Full Virginia Flake dated 2007 in my Joh's smooth Brandy bowl with an oval shank and a wide slightly bent stem.
The pipe was hand made from Joh in Denmark, his apprenticeship was working alongside Bjarne Nielsen. Joh's pipes are extremely overlooked and under priced.
Low Country Guendalose ( just opened this tin, aged for over 15 months. ) in my recently restored ( mint condition ) Viking Classic Smooth Bent Pot made in ?? Italy.
Just finished running an errand and this bowl of Watch City Flake #558 in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. A bottle of Kutztown Root Beer made with pure cane sugar is my drink.
Now smoking the last of this tin of D&R A.B. Rimboche in a smooth straight pre-transition Barling 313 T.V.F. EXEXEL pot with a black ebonite stem. Time to clean a few pipes and answer a few e-mails while I watch Perry Mason.
