Enjoyed a tasty Royal Frost apple, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed in a straight black sandblasted 1924 Parker’s Super Briar Bark 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe was made in the second year of Parker production. Going to work in a couple of minutes.

HH Pure Virginia in the inaugural smoke of my new Peterson 302 System Spigot Sandblast.

My first Peterson, my first system pipe and my first P-Lip. Impressions, not bad. The P-Lip is kind of like smoking an Orific bit. No worries for me as I have never been hung up on bit thinness. Don’t know if I like the smoke directed towards the roof of my mouth, but time will tell. Let’s get her properly broken in first.

That's a beaut!

73, buddy! Thanks! I mainly operate CW on HF but I know the higher frequency parts of the spectrum are being eyed by big data and finance firms.

Is that a Rossi Sitting pipe?

It is, one of their newer Lumberman style pipes.

Training the little meer this week, gave it some English #1 crumble kake.

Esoterica Dorchester in a Radice Rind Straight.

Since there’s been a recent post on Brighton, I thought to start drying out some of my Esoterica blends a little more than usual, but cautiously, given how the casing can be sensitive, I’ve noticed in several Esoterica/Germain’s blends.

With the AC running, this bowl dried 30-40 minutes and turned out somewhat crispy and quite flavorful too.

Be well everyone!

P.S. Experiment and play with drying times on blends.
