GLP Maltese Falcon, in a Peterson Xl315 silver spigot system. For some reason, bad packing I’m sure, I can’t keep this thing lit! Dryer for two hours, and I’m AZ, so it ain’t the humidity for damn sure?
Restless tonight. I had a ‘70s flashback of sorts driving up the Old Mission Peninsula listening to Pink Floyd’s Animals in the old Tacoma late this afternoon; something between the smell of grass and sumac and the hot August sun. I was smoking Hearth and Home Prince Andrew in a Peterson Premier System 313 for the trip (more recent model, with the plateau silver shank cap and acrylic P-lip stem). I just packed the same pipe with some crumbled Standard Tobacco Company War Horse Bar and will be lighting it up as I head out for a walk when Perry Mason is over. I should have the neighborhood all to myself.
Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.
Country Squire Old Toby in an MM Morgan Natural with orange Walker Forever Stem. Going a little overboard tonight, as the wife is out, the baby is at the grandparents for the night, and I have the house to myself.
3rd bowl may or may not have been alongside 7th drink. ???????
Just finished smoking Ken Byron Ventures Byronic Plug version in a small slight bend black sandblast 2000 D.R. Ardor Urano Ninfea Fatta A Mano author with a silver spigot military bit and a tapered black acrylic stem.
Gratefully smoking the MacBaren Stockton that I got from a generous forum member in a BBB Own Make 530. Listening to Hoagy Carmichael butcher his own tunes.
Close to finishing this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures King Black in a 1979 no name French briar smooth full bend egg with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Been reading about Moonlight Graham.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2010 STG Schippers in a 1977 straight black rusticated Sir Brent 253 billiard with a silver band repair and a brown pearl grey acrylic tapered stem. I'll probably end my day with this smoke.
I've been out twice this a.m. after a rocky Friday and previous afternoon...felt as if I was getting a virus!
I'm coming right out of it though, today, it looks like.
First bowl was some Amphora Burley with some D&R Ramback in a pipe my son gave me, an estate yello bole lovat that I've sanded down to the wood. Nice and smooth.
Second bowl, straight Picayune in a favorite pipe I've had to glue back together: a Grabow Tru-Grain Group 3 canted billiard.
Keep on puffin!
