Peacehaven in the Anastasopolous lovat.

Also smoked a couple RYO cigs made with Stokkebye Amsterdam No.83 shag. It's a Virginia/Kentucky cigarette shag that I picked up at Strauss yesterday. I'm going to jar it up and roll a cigarette whenever the mood strikes me (not very often).

First, it was Wessex BVF in a Vauen churchwarden... and it was disappointing... I don't know why... I think it was just me. Went back after supper for Jack Lee Blends Beowulf in a MM Legend which was VERY good.

 

[JimInks]

Not far from finishing this bowl of Jim’s B Blend in a smooth 1998 Parker 489 three quarter bend Billiard with a black vulcanite stem.

 

[bluegrassbrian]

Gawith Full Virginia Flake in the Gamboni.

 

[JimInks]

Part way through this bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem. Simply Orange is my drink.

Royal Challenge in a Hickok straight billiard.

 

[JimInks]

STG Singleton in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite stem. A bottle of Nehi Grape soda made with pure cane sugar is my drink.

Three nuns by mc Baren in Savinelli canadian

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Dunbar 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. For thirty years, I have coveted the thought of owning one of Conrad's pipes. Conrad had one of the greatest Charatan collections in the world, and also know for his fine acting and directing in radio and television for the better part of six decades. I never thought I'd ever have the opportunity to own one of his pipes, but thanks to my buddy Sablebrush, I finally do!

Congratulations Jim, and wonderful gesture Sablebrush! This helps make these threads so enjoyable.
