Home and deciding on a watch with a bowl of 1975 American Tobacco Co. Blue Boar Rough Cut in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a pearl brown acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink. Watching Live and Let Die.
Started off the day with a fine bowl of Dunny Flake in my estate Pete Rosslare 999 with an amber Fishtail stem. It's a pity I don't smoke this pipe more often as it's a honey!
Mid-day saw some Pebble Castle Special Reserve burned in my recently acquired estate Brebbia 'bash.
Have some aged Revor chillin' for after supper. The trusty Wiley Rhody/Dub is up for the task.
Now smoking 2007 C&D Morley’s Best in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Turkish Meerschaum with a gold and black swirl acrylic stem. This will get me to dinner time.
Relaxing after a wonderful wild Alaskan salmon and baked potato dinner with a 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. Running low on this blend, and can't decide on what VaPer to replace the #558 with.
Part way through this bowl of McClelland Christmas Cheer 1995 in a 1970s smooth GBD 9665 slight bend with a rough top flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite stem. Have enough left for a bowl or so.
Half way through this bowl of D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Canadian Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 with a black vulcanite stem. Working!
Just finished work and this bowl of Peter Stokkebye Toasted Burley (No.312) in a 2003 smooth medium bend Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baskerville with a sterling silver band and black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Now smoking Angler's Dream in a slight bend 1984 Stanwell Antique 124 grain etched with a smooth front with a black vulcanite stem. Might end the day with this smoke. Watching Perry Mason.
Last smoke of the day is D&R Three Sails in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite stem. Watching Have Gun, Will Travel.
Good morning Ladies & Gentlemen, greetings from Athens-Greece! I just returned from my summer vacations which i could decribe them as "adventurous"...
The first 2 days we had rain so i couldn't swim in the sea, i cut first the left and another day the right foot in a shell on the beach, a wasp in a Kamikazi mission pinched me inside the right palm and swollen for 3-4 days, one noon the forest some kilometres away from us caught fire, i hit the bottom of my car in a bulge of a provincial road because i didn't knew the root very well, another day i step on a sea urchin with the left so i could not walk fast for few days, one afternoon due to a suddenly storm a thunder hit the pole which was bedise the neighboor's house so we did not had electricity for 2 hours.
Nevertheless i visited 2 islands, i saw new places, i drink coffee in many Cafe with wonderful view, i took many pictures and some of them are with pipes so i will start post them here.
Here are the pipes that i had in my vacations. By God's grace i am back with you my fellow pipe smokers.
