St. Bruno: Ready Rubbed in Meer...
Tonight I decided on a 50/50 mix of Rivendell (this batch has too much burley for my taste) and Old Toby. The taste was great and the Rivendell was toned down. BUT ... when I lit it ... it really lit and there was a large section of burning embers that wouldn't die down or go out ... I even set the pipe down to rest for awhile and it just kept burning. The pipe was my Barontini 1/2 spigot bent billiard. All the tobacco burned fast to bottom of the bowl with no dottle or moisture. ... Never had that happen before. Maybe it was too loose and I didn't pack it tight enough ??? I will try again tomorrow but in a cob.
A cooler night in Indiana with a little wind and low humidity. Calls for my first bowl of Fusilier’s Ration (reserve) in my tried and true Erik Nording. Maybe fall is on the way! (And of course as I type this the pipe goes out!)

After a day of cleaning, organizing, and not doing a whole lot around the house it's pool time!
Loaded my CAO pool meer with some Wilke Rum Cake I found in a drawer while cleaning. Enjoying a mug a real sugar Pepsi with a good amount of 1792 Bourbon in it:

Enjoyed a tasty Cosmic Crisp apple, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Wessex Campaign Dark Flake in a smooth dark brown medium bend year 1924 Dunhill 136A double patent apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Capstan Blue in a TPE lovat I've been breaking in against its wishes. Getting there.
Going to have Blatter Reserve in a Blatter & Blatter Lovat—Patrick Blatter, who made the pipe, referred to it as a Lovat when I selected it at the shop; it doesn't have a saddle bit stem, though; the shank is round, so it's not a Canadian (although, literally made in Canada). I still think a Liverpool might be most accurate, but, defer to its creator. Anyway, I wanted something with a large chamber to smoke while I typeset a Michael Moorcock story and think about the accompanying illustration it’ll need.
Yes … Sherlock Holmes and Watson has not been smoked for a very long time.
Last color update was I think around 127 bowls. Since it is now close to 175, now is a good time for a color update, but I have been very busy.
Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2013 Esoterica Tilbury in a 2002 smooth Rinaldo Silver Line 3 EGER 05 paneled horn with a black acrylic stem.
