Home from the Raleigh Pipe Show sponsored by TAPS. Picked up lots of samples to review and bought twenty tins of D&R's VIP, which is a very under rated VaPer. Also bought three tins of Peterson's 3Ps. A friend gave me a 100 gram tin of Edgeworth Slices. Smoked Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem. Then, a 1995 sample of Ringlow Syrian Reserve in a 1990s smooth Peterson Captain Pete XL80 bulldog. Now, I'm half way through this bowl of D&R VIP in my trusty 1970s smooth three quarter bend Peterson System Standard 305. Saw a bunch of old friends and made a few new ones, and just had a great time.

Pipe show day, so I've been sampling and puffing far more than my usual one or two bowls a day. I'm finishing off with Lane's English Luxury, a sample from the show, and an old favorite from years ago, in a Johs blast Canadian, a grand old mild Lat blend. At the show I sampled Low Land's Cooper blend -- that's a great one.

From the same pipe show MSO was at: Half way through this bowl of Smoker’s Pride Rum in a 2003 IMP horn Meer. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Suzy and Molly were waiting at the door for us when we returned, and have stuck close to us since.
