Did a second set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.
Geometrie in a Peterson Classic Deluxe 606 PSB.
Now smoking year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.
50/50 Yorktown and Windjammer in the dark Lee saddle stem pear.
Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Wet and windy day. Retreated to the garage for a smoke.
Hilson Giant Canadian with a personal mixture of Va, Bur and some Black Cav.
A cup of strong black coffee riding shotgun.

HU Nashville County in a Savinelli Luisa Fiammata
Going with some Anomalous today in a Peterson 2022 PotY Rua.
ODF in a Peterson System Standard B42. The more I smoke this stuff, the more I like it.
February 2023 GH&Co Bob’s Chocolate Flake in a Poul Winsløw Crown 300.
I bought an 8 oz bag to push the order $ up for free shipping on some stuff I ordered. And to see about the recent talk of how GH&Co blends aren’t as saucy…
I’ve got pounds stashed away, most for several years, and I won’t disturb them. This bag will just hang out on my desk, to be smoked whenever.
And FWIW, I am not noticing any lack of “sauce” in this blend whatsoever…

'12 FVF in the '60 Dunhill Bruyere ❷.
Relaxing with a bowl of Bengal Slices in a Bari Rhodesian.
Nearing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem.
Going to have Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead in an Oguz Simsek Happy Skull Figural.
PS Cube Cut in my #1 cob. I filled it about 3/4 full of cubes, rubbed out a few to use as kindling on top, and then allowed it to dry a few hours before lighting, and had a really nice, tasty, well-behaved smoke. I'll definitely be doing it this way, or close to it, from now on.
There is a much longer story to it, but this pipe (the first cob I ever bought) had gotten really smelly as of late. Finally, after much sanding of old cake and application of alcohol, salt, pipe cleaners, and a shank brush, it is almost as neutral as I think I can get it. I have enough other pipes to smoke that I don't need this one to smoke well, but the fact that it resisted my first efforts really bothered me!
