Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've a third of a bowl left of year 2014 FVF in a much cherished smooth, brown straight grain three quarter bend 1979 Becker M 4 heart brandy with a black acrylic saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Spent time after dinner feeding ferals, and cats. And doing some bowl scrubbing on estate pipes. Old pipes can be stubborn about getting clean, or at least as clean as I require them to be before I smoke them. Sort of like some people I know. :)

Half and Half in my latest $20 Late Korean War Era hand carved relief polished panel medium bulldog War Finish Marxman Jumbo to break it in for the first smoke it’s ever had.

With a special Bug Tussle welcome to Beagle 20 who sold this rare beauty to me for only twenty bucks!

Earlier Marxman catalogs before the Catastrophe at the Yalu Christmas 1950 have a Pearl Habor era finsh.

The Benchmade and Jumbo were all handmade during and after World War Two.

But when you see a medium Benchmade or Jumbo that obviously looks machine shaped and hand polished and with hand carved relief the shop foreman Lewis Cowan (not Albert) had perfected the one smoke to oxblood umber War Finish.

And for those of you poor souls who doubt, between us chickens there is no Marxman greater than the last ones made at 24 W 27 NYC NY, and none can ever be again.
