[JimInks]

Now smoking Watch City Flake #558 in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. Have enough left for a couple bowls.

Samuel Gawith: 1792 Flake in a Meer...

Rich Dark Honeydew in a bent MM Mark Twain.

Key Largo on a Rattray Marlin Zulu.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through the last of my stash of McClelland Christmas Cheer 1995 in a 1970s smooth GBD 9665 slight bend with a rough top flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite stem. Watching Cannon.

 

[JimInks]

Almost half way through this bowl of D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Canadian Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 with a black vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking Jim's Va/Bur in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard. Have just a little more work to do.

 

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking Rowland Platinum in a 1977 medium bend Tinderbox Ropp cherry wood poker made in France with a black vulcanite stem and p-lip.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Granger in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite stem. Watching Perry Mason.

 

[phantomwolf]

The remnants of the Bothy Flake I rubbed for my last smoke mixed with some Carter Hall to top the pipe off. Not the worst

'all-sorts' I've smoked.

 

[newbroom]

C&D VA Flake with C&D Perique in an Ascorti LaSilvanah originally marketed by TinderBox.

I'd call it a straight Dublin, very nice Lucite offset cut saddle stem, ergonomic rustication.

 

[fadingdaylight]

Starting the work week off with Warhorse in an MM Diplomat, strong coffee on the side and The Horrible Crowes on the radio.

 

[JimInks]

Just finishing this bowl of MacBaren Golden Extra in a 1983 medium bend, mostly smooth, bottom rusticated Butz-Choquin Maitre Pipier 3 Fait Main with pearl brown acrylic stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem. A can of Faygo Orange soda is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
The picture quality is bad, but here's an old Faygo commercial with Hal (The Great Gildersleeve) Peary and Laurel and Hardy imposters.

Wow, it's been a while since I was last in this thread. Today I got a load of firewood from a farmer who lives nearby. I'm loading it into my woodshed, it is a lovely evening up here. The crickets are chirping and the wind plays a soothing tune in the canopy. A single bird is calling out in the distance and the solitude is magnificent. I'm enjoying some smooth bayou morning in a ropp etudiant.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bow of 1970s Heine's Blend in a 1977 straight black rusticated Sir Brent billiard with a silver band repair and a brown pearl grey acrylic stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking D&R Windsail Silver in a 1983 Ben Wade Duo 65 smooth Poker with a black vulcanite stem. Getting various things done today, including more watch hunting.
