Now smoking HU Directors Cut in a smooth straight Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. The P&W #531 I was smoking sure burns too durn fast.
Smoking my new blend of Bob's Chocolate Flake, Ennerdale, Busun Cut Plug, Best Brown #4, and Cat Hair from the oak table I didn't wipe off before rubbing everything out. I call it "Michael's Ready Rubbed Cat Flake."
A third of the way through this bowl of Uhle’s 00 in a smooth medium bend 2002 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.
Popped a tin of Butera Blended Flake..into the Gamboni.
Each component is easily tasted. Red Virginia and perique form the base, non-latakia Orientals lend tang and waft in the air, and a hint of burley chases.
I don't smoke many blends like this, but I enjoy it infrequently.
Almost finished with a bowl of Arango Balkan Supreme in an Il Ceppo 5 bent Dublin, eBay purchase from a few weeks back, first smoke, doing really well.
If bluegrassbrian lives somewhere around Mercer Island, he is someone I used to know.
Now smoking 1982 Balkan Sobranie 759 in a full bend black pebble finish 2001 Rinaldo Lithos YY8 Titania Silver Line egg with a black acrylic stem. Running low on this blend.
A bowl of Savinelli Doblone's d' Oro in a bent Ser Jacopo Jucunda. Jiminks it is everything you said it was, and more. Fifth bowl from my second tin in a little over two weeks.
Amphora Original (Brown) in a 1990s slight bend black Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root Dark 4 Dublin with a black vulcanite stem.
