Almost finishing up my mix of the week, Peterson Irish Flake and C&D Cigar Leaf in equal parts, in a straight blast Scott Klein small prince with a tapered stem, nifty little weighs-nothing briar.
A third of the way through this bowl of Wilke Chocolate in a 1979 no name French briar smooth full bend egg with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Been raining hard all night and day, so no walking today. Probably not for the next few days either as the weather forecast for the week is tough.
Almost a third of the way through this bowl of 1970s Garfinkel’s Old Scottish Cut Cake #6 in a 1980s White Pipe straight lattice apple meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of D&R Windsail in a 2013 straight black sandblasted Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baker Street with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite fish tail stem.
Almost half way through this bowl of Wilke Rum and Maple in a straight smooth with a tobacco leaf carving on the bottom left, dark brown 1980s Sir Brent pot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Having a great phone chat with a great friend.
I am almost exclusively a Virginia smoker, and not a fan of aromatics, but I was in the mood for something different today. I'm trying a light aromatic called Sunset, a Tinder Box house blend, in an old Comoy's sandblast, the pipe I use for experimental blends.
Spilman Mixture by Hoffmann in a bent smooth Britannia Dublin, one of my several English pipes in among the Irish, Italian, Danish, French, U.S. stable. This is the only twin-bore stem I own, but it cleans and smokes fine.
