Now smoking early 1970s Rattray’s Black Mallory in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a gold and black swirl acrylic stem. This will get me to dinner time. Watching Gunsmoke.
C&D Burley Flake #4, in my Pete "Fat Boy" XL90 Supreme with a P-lip. This pipe is reserved for Lat blends, and only gets an occasion workout since I'm largely off Lat blends.
This pipe weed was sent by a gracious brother and he said the Lat component was condimental. And so it proved to be!
Thoroughly enjoyed this, and thanks for sending it Andy. Perhaps this might be my way back into enjoying Lat blends once again!
Relaxing after a wonderful meat loaf and mashed potatoes with a bowl of aged Sam Gawith Best Brown in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite stem. Watching A Hole in the Head starring Sinatra and EGR.
Earlier this pm, 2008 Margate in my Ashton XX PG bent. Then, 2009 PS Balkan Supreme in an Erlich Select flame grain pot. Finished off with 2008 Commonwealth in a Pete Rosslare flame (almost straight) grain 03 bent.
Watch City Slices in a smooth medium bend 2011 Rinaldo Collection Fiammata Silver Line 7 Odea 4 flame grain bulldog with a silver band and a tortoise shell acrylic stem.
Having another bowl of Royal Yacht in the first Edward's pipe I bought back in '71, a nice quarter grained 712-L Apple. Ciccory coffee 'Nawlins style on the side. :twisted:
Now smoking Director’s Cut 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 The Flash.
Peterson Signature Flake in a 1986 full bend pebble relief Aldo Velani Titan 33 briar Oom Paul/Calabash with a black acrylic stem that has a briar accent.
That last smoke was in a big bowl and finished the sample. Now smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite stem. Phone chatting about pipe tobacco.
Half way through this bowl of Sutliff Red Cake in an unbranded '70s Charatan smooth straight Billiard with a black vulcanite stem. Simply Orange is my drink. Watching The Stranger starring Orson Welles and Edward G. Robinson.
About a quarter of a bowl left 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.
Now smoking Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a black sand blasted straight 1998 XXX Ashton lovat with a black acrylic stem. A bottle of Cheerwine made with pure cane sugar is my drink.
