Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm smoking year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is on m'lady's lap.

Came back home to my new GH Zhang pipe sitting on the porch. Though it's hard to see in the picture and subtle, save for to the sense of touch, this bowl has 8 panels just as the shank does. Also, the carver cleverly sanded in 2 smooth sitting cants on the bottom of the bowl so that it can lean slightly either way while sitting up. Slick detail.

So...time to give this bad boy a whirl. I have no patience for such things! Busting out the Cringle Flake and testing it on a red VA.

Onto the 2nd of the Peterson Shorts - an 03.
The Shorts may be my favourite Petersons.
Even though I only have these two, I love just about every shape in that series

Did these pass the pipe cleaner test ? Of course not !
But then if this mattered to you, you wouldn’t be a Pete fan, would you ? 😏
