Almost half way through this bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Finished the Archie story, and will do touch ups tomorrow. It's time to check on Sam and her babies.
Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of Watch City Queequeg’s Moby Dick Series in a medium bend black sandblasted IPSD 2016 Mark Tinsky book keeper 5 with a square shank and a black acrylic saddle stem with a cream colored accent. I let Sam the Scamp out, and brought her to the kitchen to eat. Oddly enough, it's the same food she has in the back bathroom, but she doesn't seem to want to eat unless she's out of there.
After dropping the car off for inpection Im having some Makhuwa plus latakia in a ser jacopo calabash.
About a third of a bowl left of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot 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 is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. I may end the day with this smoke.
About an hour ago, I let Sam the Scamp out, and brought her to the kitchen to eat. Oddly enough, it's the same food she has in the back bathroom, but she doesn't seem to want to eat unless she's out of there. She did like taking a nap after I gave her a little rub. The babies are doing well. Tomato the Brave spent some time snoozin’, but not half as much as Daisy the Feral Princess. She wore herself out fighting a blanket. Abner the Eager was here this afternoon for his usual eat and snooze.
Harry the Hairy was here when I woke up today, and he ate and left. He and Abner came back at 4 a.m. in the rain to eat, and both wanted my attention, too. I let Abner in the house, dried him off, and then spent more time with Harry than usual because he was crying to me so pitifully. He did something he’s never done before, which was to mark my hand six times. Harry tried to sneak in the house, but I just couldn’t do that, the poor little fella. At least he has shelter outside.

seems that winter came back for a few days at least, this morning opened my final tin of S&G Lakeland dark and having it in a Blakemarbriars UK LitchBruyer Pot/
Close to finishing this bowl of year 2020 Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. Been busy posting the feral story I posted here earlier along with more photos and two videos, too. Going to bed when this smoke is finished.
Another wet and miserable morning! I was up at the crack of Sparrows fart drinking some Viennese coffee that a chum brought me back from Vienna. As I type I am smoking a bowl of 2012 St James Flake in this short stubby 19th century Viennese meerschaum 'cutty' pipe with silver banding by Ian Walker from Northern Briars. If you ever need an amazing repair job on something out of the ordinary then Ian is certainly worth an email/call. Enjoy your day and I will pop my head around the door and look in on everyone later on in the morning.
Time for an after lunch pipe. Im having Directors Cut on steroids (extra DFK and Perique) in a Caminetto with a cup of tea. This is a tasty treat.
Sutliff Cherry Bon Bon in my no name octagonal square shanked billiard/sitter which I just returned with after a short lunt in the neighborhood. Balmy out there today. 73 degrees.
Mac Baren Old Dark Fired ready rubbed in my Crown Nobility 1001. Going to nurse this bowl for a little while, this batch seems a lot stronger nic wise than the tin I got last month.
@bluegrassbrian Not to be an enabler but there are new il Duca pips at lepipe.it A couple of nice ones. I prefer filter pipes so Im safe!
Another eccentric day, starting with IRC Virginia Flake in a little Ropp Vintage Superior Liverpool.
PS LNF from 2019 in a Peterson Donegal Rocky 69.
“A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke”
Glad to hear you enjoyed it and hope you had a wonderful smoke and hopefully great evening as well!
C&D Exclusive in a Ser Jacopo Pencil Shank Billiard while enjoying the straight line winds and driving rain on the porch with some Peets coffee. I’ve since banished myself to the garage to finish the bowl.
