Morning gents!
MacB Black Ambrosia in a Fiamata canadian.
We had a lovely bit of rain yesterday and this morning. Definitely not normal Cape Town spring weather at the moment. Quite chilly too.
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. Watching Perry Mason.
John Patton's Crossroads
Pipe of choice: RARE restored to mint condition...By Master Pipe Maker Pierre Morel Sr. hand Made/carved Bullmoose pipe with a slight bend to a very comfortable stem. This pipe is truly a work of Art.
Almost half way through this bowl of STG Clan Aromatic in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a gold and black swirl acrylic stem. A bottle of Cheerwine made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Watching a Believe It Or Not short subject film on TCM, believe it or not!
A quarter of the way through this bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite stem.

GBD Fantasy Partially Sandblasted Billiard. I'm the original owner and purchased this pipe I believe in Georgia around 1978.
Part way through this bowl of RO Perique Series Blend P-37 in a smooth straight early 1960s Lane era 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. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Watching Thriller!
Rattray's Marlin Flake dated 2009 in my restored Supreme Deluxe Algerian briar ( oil cured ) Lovat pipe. This pipe brings out the full complexity of this wonderful blend. I believe it's because of the type of briar. Smokes Marlin Flake extremely cool.
Part way through this bowl of RO Perique Series Blend SV-23 n a 2002 smooth natural straight silver banded Ardor Venere Extra Fatta A Mano Maigret billiard, signed by Dorelio Rovera and a black acrylic stem. A bottle of 7-Up is my drink.
