*** What Are You Smoking?*** (January 2019)

[piffyr]

Good evening, folks! Tonight, I have Adrien Stricklen’s On the Square (a Bur/Lat blend) smoldering in an Old Rarity billiard. I’m also finally getting the chance to sit down for a few minutes with the first issue of The Golden Pelican with inks provided by the pipe world’s own review guru, Jim “JimInks” Amash.

Relaxing after a wonderful yellow fin tuna and hand cut fries dinner with a slice of apple raisin pie for dessert. Almost a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2015 Savinelli Doblone d’Oro in the first pipe Trever Talbot made when he went to France many years ago. It's a smooth straight Algerian briar Billiard bowl with a long Canadian shank and vulcanite saddle stem, unbranded. I paid $50 for this pipe back in 2003, and it is a great looker and a great smoker. I sure got lucky that day.

About to crumble some Fusilier's Ration by Hearth & Home into the biggest bowl within arm's reach, push play on the ol' cassette deck and go gently into that good night.
