The stingers are stuck with crud, I'll need to work them out, very sharp and pointed.

A third of a bowl left of year 2012 Dan Tobacco Treasures of Ireland: Limerick in a 2021 medium bend black sandblasted Peterson Newgrange 80S bent bulldog silver spigot with a tapered reddish brown, black striped acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Sleepy Suzy is snoozin' by my side.

Yard work done, now some Rhythm & blues in a GBD rock root, some tea and reading John Adams 
Morning all. Smoking some 515 in a Castello #33 with some coffee whilst I organise a few things here in the office

Good enough for the drive in, good enough for the drive home 
Ran a couple of errands, and am home, and smoking Peretti Royal in a black sandblasted medium bend 2013 Mark Tinsky Coral 5 cherrywood with a smooth dark brown shank and bottom with a tapered black briar accented acrylic stem.
Al Pascia' house brand pipe model #1906, a smooth, long, straight brandy, or what I call a Bing Brandy, and my sadly now empty tin of SPC Plum Pudding BBA. Only 3 tins of Plum Pudding varieties left.
Well, didn't lay of and smoke a cigar . . . . went right back to the newly cleaned out and reset pipes, took out the McQueen Barrel Rider and loaded it with Mad Fiddler, and proceeded to do exactly what I didn't intend to do, and that's to smoke the reset pipes today. I'm not exactly strong in the virtue of patience. Forgot to clean out the stem with alcohol and let it rest for a day. It was filthy and for those of you who have dealt with wooden stems before, you know that they must be cleaned thoroughly. Not exactly pleased with myself. Smoke was okay, but not what it should have been.
Kinda disgusted with myself so rather than go through self-abasement , I had a notepad handy and put my criticism of what I did a little impromptu sketch. 'Nuff said.
Might post tonight, might not.

Jim ,
I just started posting on this thread even though I've been here for a few years but I have seen your posts of your pipe collection here and elsewhere.... can I just say I am very impressed. Beautiful pipes. Just thought I'd go out of my way to tell you. Cheers from NC! And thanks for all the objective pipe tobacco reviews ! Have you ever thought about starting a blog ?
Briarlee ? Nice. I have yet to get one of those.
One day I shall buy some cigars that have bands on them
Kendal Dark in a Falcon Extra with a Bantam Dublin bowl, now that the day's work is all done. 
The Mrs. and I got all three hazelnut trees and the blackberries pruned and cut back. Time for a relaxing smoke and cup of espresso.

I thank you for the very kind words, man. My pipe collection got a lot of help from friends over the years. I'd have never gotten them on my own.
Never gave a thought of starting a blog. Dunno what I'd talk about that would interest anybody after a while.
I live in N.C., too.
Long time no see. Hope y’all are doing well.
