Not far from 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. Was walking when the rain started. Not sure if I'll get it all in day.

My very first bowl of Carter Hall in a cob. Paired with major Dickason brewed strong with a splash of cream. delicious View attachment 39618

It does go well with coffee & cream. I usually drink mine black, but that combo kind of “clicks.”

Gawith Hoggarth Dark Plug in a Scandia bent egg.

My first bowl of HH Rustica in a Matchless Billiard. I expected this one to be little bit harsher or more overwhelming by its taste. What I got was sweet, mellow smoke with wonderful floralness. It’s easy to smoke this too fast due to its tastiness and the dangers of severe nic-hit lie ahead constantly.

It goes well with strong-brewed teas with cream, too. I used to enjoy coffee, but the acid indigestion I began to get after drinking it has put me off the brew, sadly.

There are a lot of teas to explore, I am definitely going to pair some teas with both Carter Hall and with the Ken Byron Ventures Burley morning pipe I just received.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, the rain stopped, and got a bit of walking in. Not far from finishing the last of my stash of 1970s Carter Hall in a 2015 Basil Meadows black sandblasted billiard with an aluminum band and a pearl red acrylic tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I mixed Picayune and 5 Brothers and had a small group 3 sized bowl a few minutes ago in my Grabow Tru-Grain.
I do put a little sugar...not much, in my black coffee.

I have both on hand -- that sounds like something to try. Just roughly 50/50 mix 'em together?

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Red Forest Phenomenon in a 1980s Peterson 314 three quarter bend black sandblast system military mount pipe with a nickel ferrule and a black vulcanite p-lip saddle stem. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

Savinelli D’Oblone D’Oro from my Il Ceppo bent sandblast Dublin with acrylic ferrule before work. @jiminks if this is what the old Three Nuns tasted like I miss it too!!!!!
