Close to finishing this bowl of D&R Three Sails in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem.
Got my first set of walks in today, and am now smoking Watch City Virginia/Oriental Prototype 3 in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a gold and black swirl acrylic tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink on this humid day.
First up this morning was Reiner's Gold Blend 71 and now up is GL Pease's Embarcadero in a Fiamma Di Re Bent Apple with the usual leaded, black, pour over coffee despite the temperature hot and steadily rising.
Part way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jupiter Slices in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.
A remarkably seductive Virginia/Perique mixture with about 1/3 of vintage Syrian latakia that I received earlier this week from a friend. This in a 1920 Dunhill Bruyere 56.
Did another set of walks, enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am a third of the way through this bowl of Uhle’s 00 in a smooth medium bend 2002 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Time for a Zoom meeting with friends.
MacB’s 7Seas Royal with a Guinness stout. A roofer just left - helped me reinforce and repair a flashing that would undoubtedly leak with the upcoming storms. Good luck gulf coast neighbors! Be safe!
A rare two pipe day. Cobblestone Mocha Flake in an SMS Lattice bent billiard meer. This was my second bowl of Mocha Flake and it was not nearly as good as the first. Now onto St Bruno flake in a Pete System 305. I really like this blend but would be happier with a little more strength and a little more topping. Good stuff though! Just finished a Heyman’s Old Tom Gin martini. Good but not a favorite.
