A quarter of the way through this bowl of original Stonehenge in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a dark tortoise shell colored tapered acrylic stem.
Enjoyed a tasty snack, and am now smoking Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Phone chatting with the fella who gifted me the pipe.
Part way through this bowl of 1990s Walnut in a 1990s smooth briar calabash shaped Butz-Choquin Maitre Pipier JR Fait Main with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem.
Just finished smoking Wilke Surbrug’s 71th Street in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black vulcanite ferrule and stem in the military mount style. Listening to a Milton Berle interview.
Now smoking Wilke #515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. I may finish the day with this smoke.
First smoke of the day, 2005 Peterson’s Special Reserve in an early Tom Eltang Saturn Grade Ring Blast Poker. The tobacco is special as it was given to me by my now late Father-in-Law, Carmine, and the pipe is special as I’ve never seen another Saturn grade poker of this size (almost 2.0 oz.) and with this finish. They go together harmoniously this morning.
