Enjoyed a tasty grilled ham and cheese sandwich along with a bowl of vegetable soup for lunch, and am now smoking MacBaren Burley London Blend in a smooth medium bend 2011 Rinaldo Collection Fiammata Silver Line 7 Odea 4 flame grain bulldog with a silver band and a tortoise shell acrylic saddle stem. A bottle of Sierra Mist is my drink. Watching Hopalong Cassidy.
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.
PS LNF mixed with C&D Riverboat Gambler (dregs of a tin as condiment) in a Ser Jacopo blast, square shanked "serpentine" stem Dublin; like most Virginia/burley mixes, this one works well. I saved the art off the tin.
Just past the half way mark on this bowl of Wilke No. 111 in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite stem with a p-lip. Ice tea and bergs is my drink. Getting some work done.
Now smoking 2011 Villiger Virginia No. 444 in a smooth straight pre-transition Barling 313 T.V.F. EXEXEL pot with a black ebonite saddle stem. Cleaning a few pipes.
Now smoking original Stonehenge in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a tortoise shell stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.
