SG Grousemoor Plug (mixed w/ a bit of Grousemoor ribbon) in a old Ben Wade Canadian. ::
Weez, that's a beautiful Meerschaum billiard. Very nice.

A bowl of Match Troost, with coffee, and morning news. Nice way to start the day....even if the darned weather dudes took the rain out of the forecast again. Very dry here in NW Arkansas this year.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Dark Plug in a Meer...

 

[mso489]

PC Russ Ouellett's Chestnut in the Midtown series, one of my regular blends, in a Luciano straight rusticated billiard saddle-stem; Luciano pipes went out of business but are durable and price-wise, and would make a good estate pipe buy. I have this one and an author, and they stamped the manufacture date, which won my heart.

Ended a bowl of 3 Nuns yellow early. It’s good, but too mellow for evening.
