Nine year old Blackwoods in an Old Mokum Dutch clay pipe I bought at the Amsterdam Pipe Museum, paired with 14 YO Glenroth scotch from the Single Malt Whisky Society. Lovely afternoon at my secret beach.

That’s so frickin cool that you have Conrad’s pipes! Love him in The Killers, and have been meaning to watch Brainstorm for ages, one of the noirs he directed.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Stonehaven in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and military bit with a black ebonite stem. This will get me to dinner time. Ice water and floaty widdle icebergs is my evening drink.

Thank you. They are very prized possessions. I'm a big William Conrad fan, and to me, he was the best Matt Dillon. It took me over thirty years to get one, and I have two. I just love them!
