Enjoyed a bunch of pie, and am now smoking the last of my stash of Wilke No. 111 in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite stem with a p-lip.
Now smoking Wilke Surbrug’s 71th Street in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black vulcanite stem.
Now smoking year 2016 Stonehaven in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and military bit with a black ebonite tapered stem.
Now smoking D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Canadian Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 with a black vulcanite stem. Reading Giddins' second book on Bing Crosby.
Now smoking SWRA in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard with a black tapered acrylic stem. Phone chatting about pipe tobacco.
Last smoke of the day is year 2011 Villiger Virginia No. 444 in a 2002 smooth natural straight silver banded Ardor Venere Extra Fatta A Mano Maigret billiard, signed by Dorelio Rovera and a black acrylic tapered stem. Back to reading about Bing.
Decided to have one more smoke: Wilke No. 187 in a light brown 1979 rusticated medium bend Italian Sir Jeffrey Dublin sitter with a flared top and yellow stem.
