Half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Last smoke of the day is Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked. Reading while this bowl lasts.

Hi all.

Smoking now, in a MM Cob, for the first time(!) the famous/"glorious" Condor.
This is hapenning due to JOHN72's generous gift. I like it, yes, I like it a lot.
The aroma reminds me a bit (I think) of one of the RYO tobaccos I have tasted in the past, perhaps DRUM, I am not sure. But this is much much better.
So, I am smoking this bowl to JOHN's good health.
Muchas gracias amigo!

Be all well good people.

Good morning. We continue smoking with the third pipe of the morning. dt: Ascanian 2, in a MM Charles Towne Cobbler, and a mug black coffee. Cold and rainy day. The tomentas have eaten the beaches, kilometers of beach have disappeared. Last night it was windy as hell. I have never seen such violent storms. 51,8 ºF......................

In an earlier post, I mentioned we were watching my pal Frank Ferrante as Groucho Marx from the DVD he gave me. I was stunned to discover my name is in the credits, and during the credit roll, the drawing I did of Frank as Groucho was screen. I never, ever imagined a drawing of mine would be in the same company as Bobby London and Al Hirschfeld, and certainly not seen on PBS.
