In keeping with the "day of mourning" , which obviously not all are engaged in, having another bowl of Royal Yacht in a Charatan relief grain Billiard from 1972. :twisted: :twisted:
Relaxing after a wonderful baked ham and beans dinner with a bowl of 2007 Stonehaven in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and a black ebonite military bit. Watching Mannix.
Almost half through the last of this sample of vintage vaper Three Nuns in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was also owned by actor William Conrad. Watching Larceny, Inc. starring that fella who looks like me.
Just finished smoking year 1936 Briggs Mixture in a 1977 straight black rusticated Sir Brent billiard with a silver band repair and a brown pearl grey acrylic stem.
Now smoking Sir Walter Raleigh in a black 1997 Brebbia Jubilee 925 silver banded grain sandblast briar calabash with a black acrylic stem. Might finish the day with this smoke.
Just finished smoking 2010 McClelland Black Parrot in a 2015 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend tomato military mount with an aluminum accent, Woolly Mammoth horn ferrule, and cumberland p-lip stem.
Half way through this bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem. Simply Apple is my drink. Watching Hopalong Cassidy in Encore Westerns.
A third of the way through this bowl of OHM Red Turkish Blend in an early smooth Radice Tiger Eye G medium bend pipe with a bamboo-style carving on the shank with a black acrylic stem. This will finish the trade sample. A bottle of Boylan's Root Beer made with pure cane sugar is my drink.
Now smoking Wilke No. 111 in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.
