Afternoon bowl of KBV Burlier Morning Pipe in an SMS to carry me through to sunset...and a walk with the dog in the twilight!

You are correct Sir.
There are some Blackhawks and Apaches. And, yes a much younger Fralphog. I was blessed to have a rewarding and fun career while serving this great Republic.

Thanks from a grateful citizen.
A really good buddy (RIP) spent a good amount of time in Bagram keeping the Apaches online fifteen years or so ago. AZNG

It’s fantastic stuff. It is billed as a semi-aro but I don’t think of it that way. I think the casings here are beautifully done, integrated and complimentary to the tobaccos. The DFK is not at all overwhelming but there in the background. The Rustica strength comes through nicely. The VA’s lean hard towards empire vs domestic. Deep, rich, filling. I already bought more.

when I put flame to it around quarter way down the Rustica was very known, I think it’s a good blend I just gotta find the correct bowl for it

First smoke of the week, Amphora Virginia in the 2023 annual pipe made for the Greek Pipe Club by carver Tolis Vasiliou. Got 2 pipes yesterday, second hand from a pipe friend, a Falcon and a Canasta (lower cost series of Ardor). My friend is moving more to cigars and wants to reduce the number of his collection. I just increased mine...
A nice last week before Christmas to all of you good people!

@Christos D. Tsatsaronis the blast on your Vasiliou is divine!

Snow. Fog. Drizzle. About 33°. What a morning. Some Boswell's Private Stock in the Rossi Mezzanotte apple is helpful. Coffee.

After work Anomalous in an Asteriou. I’ve lined up my last two pipes for 2024 and I’m siked! I just need my trades to come through and finish a few tobacco sales and these two babies are mine. A J Alan Apple and an Asteriou Volcano.

Gawith Hoggarth’s Dark Birds Eye in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard

 

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cod and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've the quarter mark of this bowl of C&D Toscano Maestro Puccini in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem. Working on a review of this blend. It's Italian DFK, and USA DFK.

Try an apple shape bowl.
