Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am half way through this bowl of Watch City COE Beta Test Blend #1 in a 1978 BBB straight smooth brown Silver Mounted 522 pot with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to work soon on an Archie story I got in today.

A couple of minutes away from smoking Wilke Hearth of Galway in an undated smooth straight medium brown made in France Saillard Lord Clerit lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem. I needed another pipe like this to smoke English in while I work.

Getting ready to smoke some Blend #1 in an Edward's 724. It's the only lovat I have and is not really part of my rotation currently because it is not regulation. I removed the button because it was missing a chunk. It's also a rather rough well smoked sort of dirty pipe. It smokes like a dream. Red Diamond of course.

Mac Baren Golden Extra in a MM Morgan with a Forever Stem.

I just received this from Secret Santa here, and this is my second time, second bowl trying. Both times, it has had that Esoterica fruity floral profile going on.

I have Tilbury, Brighton and Dorchester, and it really comes across like one of these, really odd...

I don’t know the age of this tabac I received, if it has anything to do with it, but I am certainly going to order 1 oz. from SPC to compare, and if it turns out the same, I highly recommend trying this.

This blend I have is very unusual in the sense, from the write ups of a typical Burley, nutty, chocolate, etc., I get none of that, just the Esoterica type vibe... hmm odd

Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Still working.
