Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken parmesan and asparagus dinner with a small bowl of rocky road ice cream for dessert. I've passed the first third of this bowl of year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a slight bend 1968 group 4S Dunhill Shell 475 cherrywood with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Braves-Guardians game is in the ninth. Not much hitting tonight as the score is 1-0. Harry the Hairy has been snoozin' by my feet for three hours.
HU Nebari in a Bruno Nuttens Bing again.
Enjoying some Newminster Navy Flake in a Golden Square Meerschaum lined billiard. 
Been out of town all week with no good place to smoke at the crappy hotel where I was staying. So, first pipe this week. OD humanity. Anyway, Escudo in a Peterson Donegal Rocky 69.
Dermatologist decided to refer me a surgeon. Going to need some serious cleaning out. Changed antibiotics. At this point, I’m ready to give up a chunk of my back to get rid of this mess. I’ve got some to spare.
Eh, I thought about it, thought about it cause I know I've said it before.....but I couldn't do it, I couldn't scroll past it without commenting on how beautiful this pipe is. Beautiful pipe.C&D XXV Reserve Dawn in a Stanwell Hand Cut
That's a beautiful pipe.
Sun Bear Navy Cask in a Savinelli Punto Oro 626.
Third cigar of the day (Or night) - Bellas Artes
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Esoterica Tilbury in a 2002 smooth Rinaldo Silver Line 3 EGER 05 paneled horn with a silver band and a black acrylic stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in a while.
Their *M pipes (especially) lovats are all awesome-definitely a pipe on my short list.
Ennerdale Flake in a brand new Dr Grabow Royalton
Thanks again!
I was hoping it wasn’t a brown recluse when you first posted. Nasty buggers.
Hoping for the best outcome!
Finished all the cutting, tidied up the work area, swept the floor in the shop and retiring to the smoking lounge with a bowl of Hiking in a Armellini Calumet.
Opened a tin of Villiger’s 1888 Early Day I found on a table at the Columbus pipe show last weekend. Smoking it in a pipe made by Brazilian Emanuel de Queiroz Emiliano (“Emiliano”). Villigers is a Swiss company and this is a Balkan with gold Virginias, Orientals and Latakia.
Cobblestone Hiking is an incredible tobacco, if you can find it now. I have a few tins left. It gets even better with age.
4/19 Germain's Rich Dark Flake in an Altinay.
Near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2014 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 saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Orioles-Astros game. Harry the Hairy went out, and Daisy the Feral Princess came in to eat. She's snoozin' by my feet now. Sleepy Suzy keeps bathing my left arm. I thought I washed it last month.
