Dunhill Durbar, the discontinued Virginia based blend, "for the experienced smoker," in a Pete Killarney bent Rhodesian 999 P-lip, my only P-lip but a good little cooker.
Did another set of walks on this incredibly humid afternoon, and am close to finishing this bowl of Sutliff Prince Andrew in a 2020 smooth light brown, slight bent J. Everett straight grain chubby author with a spalted birch ferrule and a black saddle vulcanite stem in the military mount style.
Just past the half way mark on this bowl of Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight 1960s Lane era Charatan black with burgundy undertone sandblasted billiard 420 with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Been talking to the blend's creator, John Brandt at Wilke.
H&H El Niño in a new-to-me Northern Briars Rox Cut 8 sided panel with domed top and somewhat triangle-ish shank. This fantastic smoking device comes by way of @hoosierpipeguy, who not only has excellent taste in pipes and takes great care of them, but passes them on to us fellows at great prices. Thanks Mark! Quenching my thirst with a martini featuring Glendalough Irish gin that uses wild Irish botanicals.
Smoked a bit more Clan in my clay today - nothing tomorrow as I'm going to Mum and Dad's for the day. Dad's teaching me to sword fight and we're making a training model using a boiler suit and lots of foam lagging!
