One more bowl and then off to fetch some dinner. A nice, hearty Oriental in a Savinelli Autograph panel.
2020 C&D Opening Night in a Radice Silk Cut
It’s a 1993
It took me 30 years to run across this one as I couldn’t afford one 30 years ago and passed it up at a B&M. This one came up unsmoked and I jumped on it a few months back.
lovely piece my friend and I thought maybe older with the colour on the bamboo
SG St James Flake, in a Sportsman 87, and a great example of the old equipment operator joke: “Q: what do truck drivers and refrigerators have in common? A: shut the door and the light goes off”
Just finished smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” 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 saddle stem.
SG Best Brown again in my own creation.
Just got the evening feeding chores done. Sitting down with an Irish clay and more Exclusive.
On the char lite and first relight, tangy sweet VA. Then everything “gives way” to a melange of a more woodsy, spicy smoke with a subtle Va sweetness.
The Perique is definitely more noticeable this time around.
First bowl was after a good lunch. Now, before dinner the strength is more noticeable

Almost half way through this bowl of year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was my first Sasieni. Bought it at my local Tinderbox for $9.95.
CAO Meerschaum with a newly added green stem - it doesn't show in the picture very well. Inspired by @Manawydan's teal green stem pipe. Unfortunately, briarville didn't have teal green as a choice. Firebird in the bowl.
Arango Balkan Supreme in a Karlheinz Joura “A” volcano.
I don’t think it has changed. When I bought my first 2oz it was a struggle to keep it lit. Letting it dry 20-30mins made it behave better. It is one better smoked slowly. Sometimes I get carried away puffing too fast/frequently.
Catching up on my promises right now . . .. I said a couple of weeks ago that I'd post a shot of me and my bear rug. I'm behind on a lot of things but they'll get done. Mike took this shot with his cell phone this afternoon, and I processed it. This is the squalor I live in, I'm afraid. Not really a trophy hunter. That's my first bear taken in PG in 1987 (.375 H&H on a grizzly hunt, only got this 6'1 blackie), my first antelope taken in Wyoming in 1984 (.300 Winchester), and my first fallow deer taken on James Island in the Straight of Georgia, BC off the Vancouver coast, (.270 Winchester) in 1988. Had a few others mounted but they're in the Family Circus.
Smoking Pirate Kake (about the only thing my lips and tongue can take right now after last night, lol, in my Brigham Tundra O25S, one of my best smoking pipes - entry level bargain at $50 US.
Going back to catching up on things now.

Currently waiting on a shoulder mount of a bear I took with a crossbow back in September. Nice rug, and pronghorn. Is that a stag on the left?Catching up on my promises right now . . ..
