Beeke is great!
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Yemen Mocha High Grown, neat, is my drink. Have enough for left for a cup or two. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.
GLP Charing Cross in a Viggo Nielsen Hand Finished freehand.
Virginia Spice in this Santambrogio. Iced water. Yard work in the bowels of hell.
This morning, Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
8/20 MB HH Pure Virginia in an Altinay.
Well, it arrived today.
I've been waiting two months for this one. Snail Mail. Have three Petes, and my "Little Pete" needed a companion. So, I pushed the button a little less than two months ago . . . snail mail due to Postal Disruptions and transport barriers due to weather. My other Pete is a System Standard, big huge bowl. So now the trio is complete.
I've been doing a lot of breaking in lately, on meds that affect my taste buds, and have the dreaded tongue bite from complete lack of discipline and patience in the project, so am chewing and having but one cigar a day until I finish the three day hiatus; then back to the break ins in progress.
But this Peterson Tavern Pipe, Rhodesian bowl, is gonna look great on my rack, waiting for it's turn! It's a small/medium bowl, exactly what I wanted!
And now there are two. Well, three actually, but here's the portrait of the little guys. No family portrait until the Tavern Pipe is broken in, and its gonna hafta wait it's turn. In the mean time . . . .
Hmmmmm . . . maybe a family portrait needs four??

Now smoking and reviewing C&D Sun Bear Navy Cask 2025 (Small Batch) in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a pearl brown acrylic saddle stem. I called Animal Control, who picks up dead animals on roads, and found out that Abner the Eager was not one of them. At least I know that much now.
Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls in a Castello KK 10 and Diet Coke on the side.
Had the pleasure of sharing a bowl with a certain monorail conductor / radio show host this afternoon! Cowboy Coffee in a Wiseman for me. Pleasant conversation all around in my opinion 
I went through the woods behind our house searching for Abner the Eager. No luck. At least I didn't find a dead animal though it doesn't solve the question of where he is. I talked to a few neighbors on the other street that Abner goes to. There are two black cats that hang out there, but nobody's seen them lately. We're going to put out flyers on the little fella, and hope for an answer. I hydrated myself with ice water and bergs after being in the awful weather, and am smoking year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem.
Loaded up a nice sized bowl of Dark Moor in a Radice Rind billiard. One more smoke before grabbing a cigar and heading into town to conduct some afternoon business.
Jim, Sorry to hear that Abner the Eager is missing. I know how that feels. Sure hope you find him soon.
Threat of severe thunderstorms for the late afternoon, but I think they have all gone around us. It did cool things off a bit.
For my last smoke for July, '25, I had some Elizabethan Mixture (a Vaper) in a Marxman Captain. A Ruby Red Tangerine Waterloo sparkling water to drink.
