View attachment 269202Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Oil Cured Radice Rind with Condor, thank you @JOHN72. Celebrating my mother’s life even while making her funeral arrangements. This smoke is a needed break from the siblings.My mother bought me many pipes over the years. She raced motocross, shot in black power shoots and was a legendary hunter and fisherman. She was also a German. We affectionately referred to her as both the Hun and the panzer tank. She was a force to be reckoned with and even when I was 18 she could pin me in a wrestling match. She once held up the back end of a 56 Chevy when the Jack was moved while changing the Wheel She cold cocked two women who insulted her and dropped them clean out with one punch. A force of nature, she could rip a door off it hinges as easily as flinging cast iron skillets at my idiot dad. We will miss her and know that there was no one like her ever.

May her memory be eternal.

 

[Briar Lee]

About a third of an ounce of Granger in a huge Marxman “Big Boy” smooth Billiard that has hundreds of tiny lines across the grain, whether they are growth rings or capillaries this briar had a lot of age on it, you know?

 

[JimInks]

A third of a bowl left of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend.

Half way through this bowl of SWRA in a straight, black sandblasted undated Comoy’s Sunrise Etched Grain straight apple 551 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. I may end the day with this smoke depending how much time it takes to do a few things.

Sir John Aylesbury Virginia in the Pete 302. This pipe broke in effortlessly.

 

[JimInks]

Making my inability to sleep comfortable with a bowl of year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy medium bend 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Smokes as well as a first and worth the $19.95 I paid for it all those years ago.

@Cloozoe You are an inspiration and aspiration!

And yet my nemesis, Mister Mosley the Moderator, persists in the continuation of his investigation into my habitual instigation. I'm confident it will ultimately result in my exoneration.
