The main reason I started smoking pipes 30 years ago was because of the shorter smoking options available compared to the cigars I had been smoking. Surprisingly, these days I rarely load less than a full bowl. Today I decided to stop dumping out so much unsmoked tobacco when time runs short, so I loaded up my trusty Dr. Grabow with only a half of one of my cherry/burly blends. It was great! I was messing around in my back yard for twenty minutes. Set it aside to run some errands, and relit it for another 15 minutes when I got back. I like the attached picture – the pipe almost looks to be floating in the forest.
Sillem's Blue in the SMS Big Bent Lattice Meer with a book and water with a twist of lime.
Did a little low calorie snacking, and have passed the quarter mark of this bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Fed the ferals.
Mixture 79 in a Dr. Grabow. Diet Coke is my drink as I enjoy a quiet living room.

Moving on to some 2016 Union Square, bringing a kk Vergin back into rotation
Palace Gate was discontinued quite a while ago.
Almost a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke Back Bay w/o perique in a straight smooth brown circa 1950s-60s BBB Contrast 506 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Telegraph Hill in a little Eclesias
Finished work for the day, fed all the ferals, and am close to finishing this bowl of Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite. Daisy the Feral Princess is snoozin' in the studio. Abner the Eager is snoozin' on m'lady's chair. Tomato the Brave is just sitting in the den, and looking around the room. He is easily bored. Harry the Hairy wouldn't eat until I picked him up, and held him, silly little fella. He looks bigger than he is because of all the fur, and I don't think he's any bigger than Abner.
Today the after-breakfast smoke is My Own Blend "Elizabethan" in an Altinay rusticated billard Silver Spigot.
Only have few bowls left of this beautiful tobacco, so now I have to visit The Danish Pipe Shop again 🫣

Half way through this bowl of year 2012 Carter Hall in a black rusticated medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 437/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Daisy the Feral Princess wanted seconds, and she wanted a different we food than she ate about a half hour ago. Being imperial as she is, she got her way. I'm getting ready to read baseball box scores.

Half way through this bowl of Watch City Queequeg’s Moby Dick Series in a slight bend smooth brown post WWII 1940s Sasieni Ivory 101 Westminster diplomat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. I'll end the day with this smoke.
Some lunch break smokes from the past week. Smoked some cabbies, dockworker, a mix of both, and a lot of squadron leader.
Smoking now. Rattray's# Marlin Flake, in a Ser Jacopo Calabash. At last the temperatures are dropping, August is leaving, hopefully September will be cooler. I wish you a happy weekend. God bless you all.
