A quarter of the way through this bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2018 smooth Peterson Premiere 312 billiard full bend silver cap military mount with a black vulcanite saddle stem and p-lip. This will finish my smoking day. Putting finishing touches on my English Ernie-ental review.
Good morning folks, Grousemoor in a Dr Plumb pipe.
Saturday greetings! Morning smoke in Western Massachusetts is Wilke Commander in an Ismet Bekler carved CAO freehand meerschaum. As usual, black coffee on the side. May your day and night be pleasant, peaceful and meaningful!
Morning all, my half brother (only found out he existed a month ago) very kindly sent me this lovely little clay. I’m gonna break it in with my choc/cherry blend I put together yesterday.
Good afternoon folks, Early morning pipe in a Blakemar pipe.
Enjoying now 633 Solani,with irish coffee............................Good morning and happy weekend.............
Smoking some SG Full Virginia Flake in a meer with my second cup of coffee.
Cool.. did not know you were active here! Great pipes, website and service! Fond memories of hitchhiking through Eskisehir in the late 80's and spending some nights in some abandoned caves in the soft volcanic rock somewhere not far away.
Enjoying the snow John? Did you get any?
Amphora Original in a MM Morgan, it’s a chocolate blend but I’m not getting chocolate. It’s nice enough though. I’m searching for the perfect choccie blend but I guess I’m still looking.
633 you mean............???
The description sounded lush but the reality of GH’s Seasonal Reserve is very different. You get almond and cherry when you open the tin but the taste is of artificial peach. Should’ve got a sample, that’ll teach me (no it won’t). This is going on the shelf for a year or two, might smother it in rum first.
Very cool your brass dish/pipe rest with the embossed scorpion (my birth sign) as is your clay with the maritime theme.
Regarding the maritime decorated clay: the few that I have in similar design I've labelled as 'public-house sign pipes' for either "The Ship" or "The Anchor" . . . they've been popular motifs since the time of the American Civil War right up to the present.
From the mid/late 19th cent. - early 20th
