OJK in a WDC carved Wellington that is probably from the 1930s.

Did a set of walking reps on this beautiful day, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Harry the Hairy stayed in the back yard. Daisy the Feral Princess stayed on the recliner. Tomato the Brave waited for me under the neighbor's car, and walked with me back to the house because he wanted more to eat. He ate, and went back out. Watching the Pirates-Red Sox game.

Birthday was yesterday but wasn’t able to get to a pipe. I am finally getting some time now. Currently enjoying Campaign Dark Flake (2014) in a Peterson SH Baskerville.

Mmmmmmm, Wessex Gold Brick in a Peterson XL315 System.
For those of you who have not tried this stuff, go directly to @Nova Pipes & Tobacco website and purchase some. 3.5 ounces of great Virginia brick for barely more $$ than a 50g tin.

@Sig I been seeing how much you’re digging the stuff, so I grabbed some on…. One of the days last week, not important and can’t remember lol. Anyway, I’m excited to try it.

Last week I got in a box of El Centurion cigars that are made by "My Father" cigars. I discovered these a few years back. Decided to have one on the front porch......

C&D Red Virginia Cavendish in a Boswell stubby apple. Beer.

Watch City’s Old Dominion the IMP. ️

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with unsalted peanuts and big golden delicious apple lunch. I'm near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy Dark Roast, neat, is my drink. While I was waiting for lunch, Harry the Hairy jumped on my lap for attention and to give himself a bath.

9/20 MB Virginia Flake in an Altinay.

... I am amazed at how the participants in this thread continue to thrill me day in and day out with such a parade of good taste, it really is an inspiration.
...

Absolutely! I could not agree more.
And Sunday often seems to bring the best of the best!

Last one of the month. CM in the Eldritch reading pipe.

Astoundingly unique and gorgeous pipe that is!

 

[JimInks]

Almost a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a smooth dark brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam 340 patent billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

On this bluebird Sunday afternoon I enjoyed a bowl of McCranie's Currituck in an estate KBB Crosby eight-panel smooth briar (slightly smaller than a Dunhill Group Three) with fishtail vulcanite bit, together with a cup of hot black coffee. The tobacco has aged well. It contains Red Virginia (a favorite of mine) and although the Cavendish flake has lost some of its pungency, it was still a delightful smoke.

The KBB (stamped in a small clover-leaf on the shank) was one that I had consigned to my "trade bag" but recently pulled out after giving it a good hard look with a magnifying glass. I could find no fills, and the drilling is spot-on. Further, its size is now ideal for me and my tobacco/nicotine appetite.

My guess is that this pipe dates from the 1930s and was named for Mr. Bing Crosby (to whom I am now listening). I'm glad I didn't let this pipe go!

Love to see it!
