Hi Simong. Thank you dear friend. Well actually I enjoy seeing you all happy smoking rich tobaccos.......

Finally - first run for Peterson 4AB No. 44 (I noticed @jiminks has No. 45 - so are these brothers, lol?) - dedicated to Wilke No. 515 which, unlike the tobaccos I was anxious to try yesterday, has been dried well. About 3/4 through and with coffee - very nice!
Hi Carol. Thank you for your warm words. A big hug from the south of Spain. Take care also dear friend.............
Good Sunday morning all. Briar Fox in an unfinished Savinelli 506.
About half way through this bowl from a first production tin (2013) 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 in the military mount style.
Next up on deck, a Dunhill 92 with Artisan's.
Hey Telescopes, I see you like to read the bible. Magnificent pipe my friend...............
There's a little traction, but more is needed to reintroduce the XL155 to the market. Hopefully, some will read this, and let Smoking Pipes and Peterson know they want it.
But not so much as my Scofield Bible, KJV. Tomorrow, I tackle the Olivet Discourse.
I am reminded through my readings that I have much to make better about myself.
The Dunhill in the picture is a" Not For Sale Dunhill". Flawed, and with some imperfections that remain hidden from my view (small earthquake as I type - I do live in Southern California) it is still a Dunhill as deemed so by its makers and therefore was not chosen to be cast into the company blast furnace. I suppose it is a metaphor for myself. But, it still needs to be cleaned, cared for, washed to remove impurities, etc.
Thank you for noticing.
Currently smoking some WCC Simply Red in my London Made X155 army mount Pete. This pipe is one of my favorite VA smokers and is probably the reason I've gone down the bulldog Peterson rabbit hole.
I have not yet visited the USA. I hope before I die, to travel sometime. At the moment I have to be content with going out in the street to throw out the garbage and little else. A fantastic place, the temperatures there will be more pleasant. The economy here in Spain has collapsed the middle class and we have moved down the ladder. I could only travel there as a gift package by UPS.
LOL. I just traveled to Spain via a tour group I use, GATE1 Travel. You should check them out, they have some great prices, in fact, incredible.
Southern California is somewhat like your Costa Del Sol. Spain is a beautiful place, no doubt, and I can see why so many Americans are moving there. Southern California is one of the most amazing places to live - despite the extreme weirdness that permeates our core cities. But that is everywhere, right? Palm Springs is unlike any other place on earth I've visited in that you have access to most things found in a big city, dining, museums, culture, and shopping, as well as the luxuries of leisure, hiking, golfing, sitting by the pool, spas, etc all while surrounded by several close mountain ranges that all collide into each other to form an amazing cloudless umbrella of blue skies. I hope you make it.
San Diego is a must.
I'm g!ad to hear you are almost there. The time will pass before you know it!

Yes, I remember what you said about that trip to Spain. I'm sure you loved the Costa del Sol. America is too big to visit so many beautiful places. Well I'm still playing the lottery for now, you never know. But if I get a good amount, I'll treat everyone to a big lunch. It would be one of my dreams. Together with so many good smoking friends. Yeah, I think even the lifeguard at the pool would end up drunk as a barrel of brandy, what the heck. Brobs would be in charge of the barbecue and sausages, I'm missing the human translator.
Thank you dear friend RobNYC. I am touched and happy with so many signs of affection. A big hug and take care of yourself too.
