Round two of G.L. Pease Blackpoint in a GBD Prehistoric saddle bit Billiard.

First bowl of Sansepolcro. Fresh tin from 5/20. In a MM 5 star general. Interesting, gotta keep at it to figure out what I’m tasting. It packs a punch. I get that nic glot in the back of my throat.

so far I like it well enough. Just learning it.

Nice long enjoyable smoke of Pirate Kake - the bowl got better about a 1/3 of the way in and changed just before it went to all ash with an interesting almost chocolate flavor for a few puffs. Now smoking some Haunted Bookshop again but in a Rob Roy cob.

Now smoking Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a 2002 smooth natural straight silver banded Ardor Venere Extra Fatta A Mano Maigret billiard, signed by Dorelio Rovera and a black acrylic tapered stem.

I wasn’t sure what to make of it my first bowl either, but I quite like it now.

Now smoking some EGR in a Savinelli Caramella 412KS. Every time I smoke this and look at the tin, it’s like jiminks is staring right back at me!

 

[edger]

This arrived a few days ago, my first cutty. I am drying some Curly Block for the inaugural bowl.

I looked up Bruno’s site. Beautiful pipes at reasonable prices. Maybe for Xmas I can wrangle one of his pokers with tortoise stem.

I'm happy to advertise for him but he doesn't need it, if puts up new stock and there is something you like, don't hesitate.

Indeed!

I haven't smoked any of that in a while... Guess I'll have to fire up a bowl in a bit.

Put me in that photo next to that pooch with my pipe and I'd be a happy man!

I love that photo!
