*** What Are You Smoking?*** (December 2018)

Now smoking Wilke Churchill in a 2013 medium bend Spillproof corndog cob with a black vulcanite stem. Working and listening to the radio version of Gunsmoke starring William Conrad.

Now smoking Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad, too! My second Conrad pipe. Phone chatting with the fella who gifted me this great pipe.

My last smoke of the day is Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a late '80s, early 90s small bend medium brown smooth, unbranded Bjarne pot with a couple small rusticated spots, an amber colored acrylic ferrule and tapered stem in the military mount style.

Couldn't sleep, so I'm smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching Wanted: Dead or Alive.

Here we are as in olden days,

Happy golden days of yore,

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more

Starting the day with C&D Billy Budd Blonde in a Dr. Grabow cob and a wonderful holiday thought from a pipin’ pal.

Now smoking D&R Raccoon’s Delight in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.49) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega with a black vulcanite stem. Going to shovel some snow.

Part way through the last of this sample of Erik Stokkebye No. 1 (Pipe Tobacco Blend of the Year) in a 1970’s smooth Savinelli Non Pareil 9574 Oom Paul with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad and m'lady's home made clam chowder lunch, and am almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2015 Savinelli Doblone d’Oro in a smooth straight early 1960s Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. The roads here are navigable, but there's plenty of snow and ice still on them.
