Late last evening I had a bowl of Kramer's Blend for Cary Grant in a Cellini Original rusticated bulldog. This is one of the many pipes I bought in the 60s and early 70s from Cellini's (Victory Pipe Craftsmen) Pipe Shop in Chicago. Every one is still in my rotation, and all are very good smokers.

CCP and Brown Twist in a meerschaum 'cutty' pipe before dinner!
Last night, I had a chance to try out my new 18" telescope under truly dark skies. It was fantastic, and I spent 5 hours out in the desert looking at the wonders of the universe. Of course I had to have a smoke or three while I was out there, so I smoked:
C and D XX Flake in a Sasieni two dot "Bristol" 1/4 bent billiard.
C and D Carolina Red Flake in a CMS cherrywood poker
Balkan Sasieni in a Mastro da Paja Classica bent billiard
All in all, it was a fantastic night.

TAK - Night Twist ( a Latakia Rope ) in a Turkish Billiard Block Meerschaum pipe.
Comoys cask No. 4 in a charming dog-meets-xenomorph weiner joint from Nording. I bought a lot of Nordings as knock-around pipes when I picked the habit back up a few years ago...this one I've kept as it's actually a pretty good smoker and one of the few jaw hangers that I use that way....
Early 20th Cent.
