A few minutes away from smoking the original year 2011 Sutliff Luxury Balkan Blend 957 that won third place in the Chicago Pipe Show Balkan Sobranie 759 contest in a 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank with a black acrylic stem.
 
Just finishing this bowl of Lane Burley and Black in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a brown pearl acrylic stem.
 
Part way through this bowl of MacBaren Modern Virginia Flake in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice tea and bergs is my drink. Watching the Cubs-Dodgers game.
 
Now smoking Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad, too! My second Conrad pipe.
 
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!

Relaxing after a wonderful barbecue sandwiches and fries dinner, and am almost half way through this bowl of Rich Dark Flake in a straight sandblasted black billiard 2013 PSF POY Kaywoodie with an amber colored lucite stem. Watching the Red Sox-Angels game. Harlan Ellison passed away today. I was glad to know him, and sad that he is gone. RIP.

About a quarter of the way through this bowl of Park Lane Connoisseur in a 2002 smooth natural straight silver banded Ardor Venere Extra Fatta A Mano Maigret billiard, signed by Dorelio Rovera and a black acrylic stem. Phone chatting about baseball.
 
Part way through this bowl of 2012 Virginia Spice in a 2004 smooth long shank Canadian Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 with a black vulcanite stem. Phone chatting about comic books.
