A quarter of the way through this bowl from a freshly opened bag of year 2018 Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a 1980 smooth walnut finish quarter bend Peterson 505 Rhodesian silver spigot military mount with a black vulcanite saddle stem fishtail bit.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. I forgot to mention in my last post that when I opened the double bagged 2014 Dunhill Elizabethan Match, the smell of fermentation was wonderfully intoxicating. Eleven years of age also heightened the fermented flavor of the blend. It's time to see if Tomato the Brave is hungry. Harry the Hairy is still snoozin' by my feet. Daisy the Feral Princess has been snoozin' on her blanket for a couple of hours.

I could smell that post!

Getting down to the last of my beloved Condor in an HS Studio panel billiard this evening. Lovely stuff.

Did a little low calorie snacking, and then smoked a bowl of year 2016 Newminister 400 Superior Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown year 1948 Parker Super Bruyere patent 23 88/F bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Harry the Hairy finally woke up about thirty minutes ago, ate and went out. He certainly does have a hard life. The others are outside, too.

Enjoyed a tasty red delicious apple, and then smoked a bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a black rusticated full bend 1984 Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Read baseball box scores, and am doing other reading.

Now smoking Wilke Hearth of Galway in an undated smooth straight medium brown made in France Saillard Lord Clerit lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem. I'll probably end the day with this smoke. I let the ferals in to eat, and all of them were wet from the rain, so I dried them off. They enjoyed that, especially Daisy the Feral Princess. All three ate much more than usual because they likely know hours will pass before I'm awake to feed them again. Tomato the Brave was the biggest hog of the three, and the most demanding of attention afterward. He jumped up on my lap, and purred like a lion while I scratched his head and back. Daisy the Feral Princess is the only one who stayed inside. She did her share of purring, too. I'm reading while this bowl lasts.
