2nd bowl of afternoon.
Sturks Balkan. Sturks, in Cape Town is not only Sth Africa's oldest tobacconist, but might be its oldest continually running business. Gift from a generous mate with a SA background.
In a tiny, previously unsmoked 1914 saddle-stemmed Bulldog, with an orific bit.
Stamps on shank PSC in oval (can't find what the initials stand for) with London Made under that.
Silver band with Birmingham date letter upper case "P" for 1914. And AD and JD for Auguste Delacour and Joseph Delacour, silversmiths.

Just finished some Davidoff Danish Mixture in my Stanwell Bordeaux 183 bent brandy.
Good day all. In the Falcon with a twisted stem and a meerschaum bowl, I am having some Mac Baren mixture - Scottish Blend. I am returning to this from time to time. I find that (if smoked slowly) it is an interesting multi-aromatic and spicy blend. But if smoked fast it can be cruel.
Unfortunately, tobacco is not the only thing burning lately. In the past days the country has been hitten hard by heavy fires in many places. Great areas of land have been destroyed including properties (houses, fields, animals) plus forests e.t.c.
A big disaster, economical, ecological and aesthetical.
We shall overcome... again... I guess.
But that's a pity.
A pipe friend comes in my mind. He ends his posts with the wish "Let us always be standing on our feet and have our bowls full"...
That's a comfort.
Happy weekend good people.

Finishing my 2nd bowl of PS Luxury Twist Flake in my new Savinelli.
Thing smokes like a dream, nice open draw.
Will finish the day with a bowl of Irish Whiskey with any luck, need a nic kick to top off a glorious day.

All the best Christos, I was only now just thinking about Australia's fire season of 2019-2020.. hoping everybody gets through it ok, not much you can do unfortunately besides help people affected as best we can.
May your bowls be full and flavorful sir
Man, when it comes to time to smoke a bowl and have a nice drop, you do it very well ??

Thanks, Brendan. A small pat on the back for getting through another week ?Man, when it comes to time to smoke a bowl and have a nice drop, you do it very well ??
Christos, Australia went through a horrific bushfire season Dec2019-Feb2020 and California is going through the same disastrous experience as Greece right now. I hope the residents and brave fire-fighters in both countries stay safe.
Just finishing this bowl of D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Time to feed all the cats.
Thanks mate, let us hope so.
Now smoking Wilke No. 24 in a smooth straight brown 1949 Yello-Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Have a little more work to do.
Good Morning Folks, Early Morning Pipe in a Rusticated Peterson's Xmas 2019 XL 02.
Last smoke of the day is Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a smooth brown medium bend early 1900s C.P.F. The Chesterfield (Peterson copy) French briar military mount billiard with a nickel cap and black vulcanite AB p-lip stem. Still working, but not for long.
Good day folks!!! Another hot day in Balearic Islands, starting my day with 16/5 Der Neue in a Masso "Shangrila"
Morning smoke of Mc Barens Navy flake punched up by a pinch of Irish flake in a gr 3 Dunhill shell short canadian
Lane RR in a Country Gent.
Well it’s good to hear it’s still around, it certainly had the best selection of beer on tap and a great atmosphere. Excellent fish & chips too.
Are they still going?? You're quite right of course, much more entertaining games to watch in the lower divisions. Although as an Arsenal supporter, it's more about playing the game 'for the games sake' rather than the winning.?
Stoved Capstan in a Peterson's D17.
