Just managed to get a second set of walking reps in as it started sprinkling when I got to the top of the hill of my last lap. Tomato the Brave followed me home, and I brought him inside. I wish I could have brought Harry the Hairy in, too, as the thunderstorm is loud and raucous. Anyway, I'm not far from finishing this bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.

Inaugural smoke in my new LCS Briars 4-star smooth bent billiard with horn adornment and salmon/black ebonite stem. Enjoying some Boswell Northwoods. I decided to smoke it as the maker intended with a 9mm charcoal filter (Savinelli). I normally use balsa filters in my filtered pipes, finding them to not be quite so 'stark' with the tobacco flavor, but in this case it was the best first smoke of a pipe I've yet had. Sweet briar, burns evenly and well, and has a nice draw. It was 106F and not humid on the patio, but staying in the shade and enjoying an occasional light breeze made it very pleasant overall.
