Almost half way through this bowl of Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a 2003 Stanwell Golden Danish 56 Rusticated Canadian with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Have just a little more work to do.
Last smoke of the day is Sutliff J4 Burley in a 2001 black sandblasted three quarter bend Rinaldo Lithos YY bulldog with a tortoise shell acrylic saddle stem. Watching a documentary on the development of the atomic bomb.
The documentary is longer than I expected, so I'm part way through this bowl of Sutliff Prince Albert Match in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Just had my first bowl in my new Savinelli St. Nicholas 2019.
I chose Mac Baren Dark Twist Roll Cake (which I'd never had before as they don't sell it in England anymore .)
Very nice it was too
On the ride into work this morning was some H&H Eggnog in a Karl Eric 1/4 Bent Bulldog.
Actually, it will probably be H&H Eggnog most of the day because I have quite a bit of stuff to do later when I get off. I loaded a LaRocca Novo with some Eggnog as well when I left and will finish them both by the time I get home tonight.
Up early because Amazon's delivery service rang the doorbell when they dropped off the Christmas packages. I can't complain because it's raining and the packages would have been ruined if they just left them at the door. That's what USPS does here because our postman is congenitally incompetent. So, as long as I'm awake, I'm having a bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
Now smoking 1940s Troost Aromatic in a small 1982 three quarter bend unbranded meer with a smiling turbaned Turk's head and a yellow acrylic tapered stem. My then-girl friend bought me this pipe. I got the best of that deal.
Put together a blend of 1 Peterson Irish Flake, 2 Escudo coins and 1 Capstan Blue flake. Smoked some in a Savinelli 673 bent rhodesian. Strong, smoky, spicy, sweet and surprisingly smooth.
