A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke Rum Cake in a 1976 black rough carved Pioneer Meerschaum Oom Paul with a pearl brown acrylic saddle stem. Have enough left for one more bowl.

Ken Byron Ventures Ravens Eye ? in a Paykoc Meerschaum Bulldog
Just about finished with some Edward G Robinson pipe blend in a MM Country Gentleman. I'm feeling fatigued catching up on all the fine tobacco being consumed today. ?
First try of this “mix” 1 flake ODF and 3/4 flake of New Minster 400 Superior Navy Flake. A Ky-Va if you will. Eye roll, oyvay okay. In a Burl King. Pretty enjoyable. I get the graham cracker (NM 400) thing I’ve heard about, but didn’t get the first time I tried it. 1 week in a jar it’s already smelling different.
Watch City Rhythm and Blues in a Savory's Semi-Matte apple.
About a third of a bowl left of Watch City Rouxgaroux 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. Chatting with the fella who gifted me the pipe.
Now smoking Wilke No.184 in a 1990 smooth medium bend Nording freehand sitter with a wider top than bottom that also has a ridge and a narrower bowl resembling an upside down spout, with an amber colored lucite saddle stem with cream swirls.
I was part of a terrific ZOOM get-together, earlier this afternoon, with pipers from around the U.S. and Australia. I smoked a bowl of Samovar in a Rich Lewis 731 Calabash. A tumbler of Peach/Mango Green Tea and Honey Jack, with a fistful of bergs, to sip.
I am so pissed! I dropped the pipe and chipped an edge. I guess it's off to Rich, hoping it's repairable.

The Brain:
Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky:
I think so, Brain, but if they don't use camel dung, why does Latakia smell like that?

Home VA-Or in my new Tropical Paints (Cleveland) promotional pipe, apparently from the 40's

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am a quarter of the way through my last smoke of the day: D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Canadian Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Watching a Ben Turnip silent short, Daredevil.
I made a press cake tonight. Not sure what I'm going to smoke it in. Going for a drive, and likely use whatever pipe's in the car.
6 parts Virginia (Helena)
1 part Turkish (Bursa)
2 parts Latakia
1/2 a part Nicaraguan Ligero cigar filler

Lane Ready Rubbed in a Country Gent.
Yes, he was heartbroken and that sad event was reported as the main reason for the sale.
He also had one of Stanley Baldwins pipes and a very clever pipe made of bamboo that was put together by a British P.O.W in a Japanese camp. His meerschaum skull pipe collection were apparently so anatomically perfect that they were very popular with doctors during Victorian times.
8 year old Orlik Golden Sliced in a Clark Layton Sloth Dublin. 
Drucquer and Sons Blairgowrie in my Jan Zeman Sandblast Billiard Latitude with vulcanite stem. I’m enjoying some dark roast on the side.
Scottish Flake in my Bruce Weaver sandblasted lovat paired with a nice glass of Laphroaig 10 Years Old.
Apart from the auction catalogues you might find these articles in one of my miscellaneous albums interesting.
