Now THAT'S another Canadian that I'd trade an Arm & a Leg for (!) .... beautiful sandblast .... although my "trade fodder" would actually be a BBB smooth Canadian. NOTE: Probably best if I kept the Arm & the Leg. : )

Well, I was enjoying a nice bowl of Ennerdale Flake in my Peterson Junior Rusticated Billiard while out on a dog walk.

One unexpected tug of the leash later and wheeee, the pipe goes flying and there goes $85 when it hits the concrete. 😣

That was the first and only time I've ever dropped a pipe, but I think the lesson to be learned here is that if I want to smoke a pipe while out walking then just bring an inexpensive cob. Thankfully the Peterson was a factory pipe and can be replaced, but I did really like that pipe so I'm still sad about the loss. From here on out it's cobs only for dog walking!
I'll bet Mr Steve at rebornpipes.com could do a "like new" restoration.

Balkan Supreme (Arango .... Stokkebye) is so good. My esteemed tobacconist recommended it, said it took awards at the Chicago Show in the past. This might be one I'll bring tomorrow night to Pipe Club.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, snapper and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. Tomorrow is an off diet day, and I will eat, and eat, and eat some more. :) Had a little fun playing with the scampers. Watching the Braves-Astros game. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

I'm half way through this bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem.
