A quarter of the way through this bowl of early 1970s MacBaren Burley London Blend in a smooth medium bend 2011 Rinaldo Collection Fiammata Silver Line 7 Odea 04 flame grain bulldog with a silver band and a tortoise shell acrylic saddle stem. Braves bullpen is lousy.

A minute or so away from smoking Watch City VaPer Test Sample #1 in a smooth straight Lane era 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. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Working and listening to the MLB talk on the XM.

Almost half way through this bowl of 1960s Edgeworth Slices in a 1984 medium bend black grain etched Savinelli Non Pareil 9310 poker with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem. Work's done and it's time to relax. This old tin was gifted to me by Fish'n'banjo a while back.

Had a light snack and am enjoying my last smoke of the day, which is Watch City Off the Rails in a medium bend raw sienna toned early Radice sandblast egg with bamboo carving on the shank and a black acrylic stem. Reading baseball box scores.

GLP Haddo's Delight packed for soon, in a Yello-Bole straight panel billiard Checker series; I really appreciate these old American factory pipes, like 1950's American automobiles, just a certain look. I have the Yello-Bole Checker, a Kaywoodie Saxon, a Kaywoodie Drinkless Ruff-Tone, and others.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2005 Orlik Old English Curve in a straight sandblasted black billiard 2013 PSF POY Kaywoodie with an amber colored lucite tapered stem. Have enough left for a bowl or so.
