Maiden smoke in a Singleton pipe I recently restored, smoking some Autumn Evening.
GL Pease Windjammer from January 2031 in the Luigi Viprati Collection Silver DragonB pipe #coldrab
Can you swing by in your time machine and pick me up? I've got a few things I want to do...
Now smoking year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight smooth brown Algerian briar post-WW2-early 50s family era Barling’s Make Ye Olde Wood T.V.F. Made in England EL billiard with a tapered black ebonite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo.
I don't normally smoke a brand new pipe back to back but Blackpoint was a pretty dry burn so I decided why not... Now smoking C&D Founding Fathers for the first time and, oh my goodness is this one a keeper! 320 is smoking like a champ and this blend has great flavor. This might have just become one of my top ten aromatics, if not top five. Definitely ordering more of this one!
Glad you're letting off Steam works for yourself on your birthday!
Thought i finished my jar of Highland Targe months ago. Turns out there was about 2 bowls worth left in there. Well, one now. Smoking it in a Kaywoodie shape 07 billiard.
Thanks, man. I coveted that pipe for quite a while, never expecting to really own it. Great looker, great smoker. Btw, I got the little white dots off the pipe when I got it, but I'm using the photo that the original owner used because I couldn't take a photo as good as that one.
Heavenly Smoke, Part 2
This is the second smoke on both of these two pipes. I started them yesterday. I got to smoke the rest of both today (my modified versions of Three Nuns in the Kaywoodie, and Three Friars in the Grabow). Every bit as nice as yesterday!
Pipes are so much less expensive to smoke than cigars I normally dump whatever I don’t smoke after every session, but I’ll have to reconsider that. For a 60 and 70 year old pair of drug store pipes, these guys still look and smoke great.

HU Directors Cut in a Merchant Service Bing “Special” and Ginger Tea on the side.
Trying out Sutliff Match Barking Dog in a SMS bent Rhodesian.
Enjoying a stress reliever bowl of Quiet Nights in a Falcon
For a month I’ve been working on a project to upgrade some infrastructure, and today was finally the day to try it out. I was going to be done by 6:00 and then have a nice pipe. Instead, the last EKS node group upgrade kept failing with a PodEvictionFailure (if you know what I’m talking about, you have my sympathy), and I fought with it until giving up at 9:00. I guess I’ll finish it up tomorrow instead.
Meanwhile, I was hoping for a bit more kick in the flavor department, so I’m following up with some Kendal #7. I tried some last night, and I can easily see this one climbing to my top 10.

Smoking some GL Pease Penny-Farthing in a Radice Rind Canadian. Nice cool and comfy night.
This morning, Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
10/21 MB HH Pure Virginia in an Altinay.
On the menu for my commute back home was a bowl of GH&Co Brown Irish X in my Bent Hunter Falcon with a Genoa bowl and a side of black tea.
Hope everyone had a great day
