Winding down with a bowl of Seven Seas Red in a Rossi rusticated Canadian, listening to Stan Getz.
Peterson: 3 P's - Peterson's Perfect Plug in a Meer...
A third of the way through this bowl of Wilke Peanut Butter in a 2016 quarter bend Royal Meerschaum fluted paneled brandy meer with a black, gold and cream swirl amber colored acrylic tapered stem. This will get me to dinner time. Watching the Braves-Cubs game.
Good evening folk's, Nightcap in a Dracula.
HH Old Dark Fired in the same Bent Billiard Tekin meer that has been seeing a fair amount of action lately. Sticking to my 3 Meerschaums and a couple of cobs for the next month or so until I unpack them after I move.
Packing and unpacking the cellar is something I am not looking forward to.

Reiner PROFESSIONAL in a 1979 Dunhill group 5 Oom Paul:-
A style not seen much before the Boer War (1899 - 1902) ... the closest shape I've seen from before the war is in the 1896 Peterson catalogue (page 69) ... later in the Advertisement for Peterson's System Pipe (Phillipp Weisse & Sohns, 1925) ... and listed in the Loewe 1910 Illustrated Price List and Catalogue as "The Boer Oom Paul Model No. 95" (no pic).
Popular or unpopular, Oom Paul or Hungarian the shape is still being made over 100 years later.
The Oom Paul - (pronounced Ohm Pah-uhl, rhyming with “Ohm’s Law”) - was named after Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger, a general and president of the South African Republic from 1883 - 1900. Oom, or “Uncle”, Paul pipes are also called Hungarian. Kruger was a famous fighter against the English during the second Boer War and an avid chain smoker. South Africa, while known for their export of diamonds, was also a major player in the briar pipe market. It was for all of these reasons that the Oom Paul was named

If they don't name this SVS, I'ma be mad!!!?
Chatham Manor, the Hearth and Home/Sutliff version of Carter Hall that many pipe smokers like a little better, no preservative tastes, in a Mogen Johansen Joh's big (Group 6?), semi-rusticated apple. My wife gave me this pipe for Christmas about 11 years ago, and I called it a brandy shape until I saw the invoice among the wrapping paper, and Mogen called it an apple. My wife spent her working life in or near New York City, so I think of it as my Big Apple.
Davidoff ORIENTAL MIX in an early 1980s Charatan Special 'The Banker' shape:-
HH Burley Flake in a Baglan claw and egg meer, again.
GH&Co Sweet Whisky Twist in a 1910 BBB Calabash with Amber Stem
Peterson: 3 P's - Peterson's Perfect Plug in a Meer...
2013 Penzance in a Jack Howel. This was definitely some "Sticky Icky" stuff.
KBV Verge Engine Retrodrive in a Niel Monier Canadian.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, halibut and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries and a bite of a Kit Kat bar for dessert. I'm almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
McClelland 40th Anniversary in a IMP Lattice Acorn.
Here's a potted history of the company . . . looks like they did a Dunhill and abandoned the product that put them on the map ...
Original shop in boulevard Poissonnière, in the second arrondissement:-
I've only got the 'croc skin' Billiard model but I'd like to get a few others to keep it company as really dig the traditional shapes covered in different coloured leathers as well as the variety of finishes.
