Did a set of walking reps on this hot and humid day, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.
A delicious bowl of C&D Three Friars in a brown straight Falcon with a blasted Bantam bulldog bowl. Hot Irish tea with a splash of milk.
Anyone else finding themselves going from stingy to profligate with their “likes”? Too many seems to get meaningless, and too few seems niggardly.

2012 Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug in a Brian Ruthenberg Billiard.
Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake in a well used Holland Zenith. Beautiful day!
PS LNF in a 1907 BBB Cased Set. First the Bulldog, then the Billiard.
Winchester in a Rinaldo Sahara bent apple.
G&H Rum Flake in a Savinelli Regimental Smooth Bordeaux 624
Since we both seem to be lovers of Three Friars, I feel I should get some Winchester.
How, in your opinion, do they compare?
BTW, I worry for NYC lately. I grew up on Long Island and worked in banking several decades ago in lower Manhattan. I made great use of the jazz clubs back in the sixties and seventies! RuralArizona is nice and affordabl, but I miss the city. Thank God for the internet, or I wouldn’t be able to get WBGO. But I digress……
Close to finishing this bowl of first release Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a straight smooth brown 1920s-30s Sasieni patent 8 dot Marborough lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Yankees- Guardians game, and have been cleaning some estate pipes.

Bob’s Chocolate Flake in a gifted Meer from my brother in almost law, it belonged to his father. Watching The Non-Glamorous Drummer videos. He’s a great teacher. 
Nice reflections, sorry.

It’s a Zenith pipe from Holland. I’ve had it for over 30 years now. I love the Zenith pipes. I have 4 of them now. Wish I had more.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am half way through this bowl of Watch City Old Dominion Flake 25th Anniversary in a straight smooth brown undated pre-1960 Bewlay “Standard” Made in England 322 apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Gold Star Kona Extra Fancy, neat, is my drink.
I would say Winchester is pretty different from Three Friars, although I thoroughly enjoy both. Winchester is a bit more toward a natural sweetness, kind of like Pegasus with Red Virginia in place of the burley. For me, Three Friars and Winchester sort of compliment rather than resemble each other. I would definitely recommend giving it a try, it's a nice Virginia concoction.
As for the city, it is a disaster. My daily travels usually take me through Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan. I couldn't even begin to list the things I see on a daily basis. I grew up in the '70's and '80's and the crime now is actually worse and much more pointless. The subway is the worst I have ever seen it. And absolutely nothing is being done to correct any of this. I had best leave it at that.
On a brighter note, WBGO is a great station!
Red and Black in this J. Everett beauty. Sitting on the deck in the sun, drinking a Spotted Cow. Nearly heaven. 
Last night it was a home mix of Spilman Mixture, a revival of an old time brand, mixed with D&R Two Timer and PC Black Cavendish, in a BC Rocaille straight billiard with a tapered stem.
daniel17, the Tsuge tasting pipe (straight billiard) mentioned in my previous post was not sold to me as a "21," nor is it stamped with that number, though it may be the same pipe. I bought it for next to nothing, maybe $40, from PC on a special sale. The ones I've seen since were priced at about $60. if I recall. Still a good buy.
