[JimInks]

Now smoking RO Perique Series Blend SV-23 n a 2002 smooth natural straight silver banded Ardor Venere Extra Fatta A Mano Maigret billiard, signed by Dorelio Rovera and a black acrylic stem. Watching the Indians-Twins game.

Now smoking Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Reserve in a 1974 smooth slight bend Tinderbox Aalborg freehand made by Nording with a thin black vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Peter Stokkebye Toasted Burley (No.312) in a 2003 smooth medium bend Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baskerville with a sterling silver band and black vulcanite p-lip stem. A bottle of Dog n Suds Root Beer made with pure cane sugar is my drink. The Reds had a 9-0 lead over the Cubs, who have tied the score 9-9 now in the 6th inning. This Reds pitching staff is one of the worst I have ever seen.

Relaxing after an incredible prime rib and baked potato dinner with a bowl of 2014 Peretti No. 8 Slice in a 1979 brown grain etched Lane Era Charatan's Make medium bend calabash shape 483DC with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. $9.95 for almost a pound and third of meat plus the potatoes cooked as you like it by our local Harris Teeter. Only way I'm getting out of this recliner is with dynamite or a date with Kate Upton.

C&D Black Frigate in an Eriksen Straight Grain Freehand

 

[papipeguy]

Black Frigate in a Scotty Dublin.

 

[phreon]

McClelland #110 "Just Plain Nut" in a straight Falcon Extra with a smooth apple bowl. Despite the silly name, this Va/Bur bulk has struck my fancy. Mild, light sweetness, mild nuttiness as in the name but no overbearing casing. Burns clean and dry but will bite if not careful. Might just order some more of this.
Coleman Hawkins is playing and the dog is asleep at my feet.

 

[JimInks]

A third of the way through this bowl of Watch City Slices in a straight 1960s Lane era Charatan black with burgundy undertone sandblasted billiard 420 and a black vulcanite stem. Listening to the Pirates-Cards game.

Part 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. Working and listening to Fibber McGee and Molly.

Now smoking 2012 Louisiana Red in a 2003 medium bend Nording 4 rough top sitter with a small rusticated area at the top left and a black vulcanite stem.
