Half way through this bowl of C&D Crooner in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.49) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega with a black vulcanite stem. A bottle of Boylan's Birch Beer made with pure cane sugar is my drink. I'm feeling now that I like the Birch Beer better than Boylan's Root Beer, which is no small feat! Watching Mad Dog Russo.
