Good day all! Finished the hurricane-wrought Florida Wednesday with a welcomed bowl of KBV Prince of Wales in an Upshall sandblast Bulldog with smooth rim and hex shank with matching saddle stem size 4. Starting this beautiful morning with SG Hansom Flake in a Savinelli Autograph flame grain Billiard with plateau rim and flattened shank with matching saddle stem. No real damage on the Atlantic coast; prayers and best wishes to the pipe brethren on the Gulf Coast.
My first pipe was a Dunhill Opera Shell that I found in a Salvation Army store in Chicago in 1990 for $2.50. It’s retired now as it’s cracked but it was pretty hard smoked when I got it.
MacBaren HH Burley Flake in a Georg Jensen bent brandy. Did an insane moving job yesterday and today I'm enjoying a day off, with absolutely perfect weather.
My recent PAD pick-up of two natural finishing Savinelli have arrived.
Decided to break the Pigna in with some Presbyterian in this relatively cool night.
I'm really looking forward to see how the coloring process going.
Put in a new Estervals order and about to pack some Ilsted No 99 in this Savinelli Autograph. It’s been pissing down all day here but I can’t complain considering the weather elsewhere.
Close to finishing this bowl of early 2000s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Took out the recycle, and fed the extra hungry ferals. Watching the Yankees-Tigers game. Going to clean a few pipes, too.
