Hey MM.... Have you ever thought of setting up an account on Instagram and becoming a "pipe smoking" influencer??? Once you get a good list of subscribers, you could get glamorous resorts to pay you to come to their facility and smoke a pipe.... BTW, how do you look in a bikini???

I do like the idea of getting paid to travel and vacation as a bonus to the pipe smoking, I got a buddy does the influencer thing on YouTube. He travels all over the world. Would be cool. Think I'll pass on the bikini though. Lol I'm not really a computer person, this forum is the only thing I do.

Thanks, man. They listed it as a "museum" piece or something like that. I certainly thought it was an intriguing one-of-a-kind and was surprised at how light it was when it arrived. Excellent clencher. Mostly dedicated to Pegasus at my bedside, but as you can tell i do tend to take random left turns every once in a while. I know from extensive driving in unfamiliar cities that a few left turns do eventually make a right.

Firing up a bowl of Edgeworth Sliced in a large Pierluigi freehand and driving to town to sniff out some dinner. Not in the mood to cook at the moment.

Briar Fox in a Jirsa 210.

I haven't tried Briar Fox yet, but it's on my list. I know it's one of their most popular blends.

Yes, OJK Blue is a nice all day smoke. I like Pegasus too.

A gift sample from @lukasstrifeson called Subtle Knife, in a Bertram Poker taken in trade from someone on this forum..



Bertram was a mid century pipe producer in DC. This one appears to be a grade 20, the 2nd lowest grade offered.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have passed the quarter mark of this bowl of 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. Tomato the Brave ate again, and then wanted out.

Part way through this bowl of year 2014 Esoterica Tilbury in a straight smooth Danish gold straight grain undated W.O. Larsen Hand Made in Denmark dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Orioles-Mariners game. Going to check on the ferals soon.

I smoked a lot of the original OJK and Haunted Bookshop going back a decade and two ago. Never have tried the Blue, but have heard good things. Thanks for the rec. It's been loosely on my radar.

Last one for me tonight. Dunnie Royal Yacht in a Radice pure.

The Beast in a Merchant Service lovat during a whirlwind trip to Pullman, WA/Moscow, ID to ensure my oldest made it back to school in one piece. It's his first time driving any distance (300 mi). Catching a Greyhound back to Boise in the morning, and should be home in time for dinner.



Its harvest time on the Palouse!

Did a little low calorie snacking, and have passed the half way mark of this bowl of Wilke Little Round Top in an undated straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Sterling bulldog 150 with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. Tomato the Brave couldn't wait to come in for his wet food, and he ate almost double what he normally eats. The same was true of Daisy the Feral Princess who didn't want to eat since early this afternoon. I had to go out pick her up, and bring her inside. After they ate, I opened a gravy pouch and divided it between them, followed by some Temptations treats. Tomato was satisfied and is by my feet after headbutting my leg as a "thank you". I could see that Daisy was still hungry, so I opened another can of wet food, gave her a third of it, and she ate that, too. That's about the most I've ever seen her eat at one time. She stuck her head up at me for a head scratch, which she got. She's laying on her favorite blanket now. Harry the Hairy wasn't around when I went out to call for the ferals, but he'll be back. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is in the bedroom with m'lady.
