I'm starting off the New Year with a freshly opened tin of year 2001 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1938 straight black grain relief Dunhill OX Shell bulldog with a silver band repair with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Since my New Year’s resolution is to continue spreading Christmas Cheer and joy throughout 2022… and likely beyond - I’m letting Papa Noel take the reigns and I’m having a bowl of SantaDrive - fitting. Smoking a Canadian brand pipe made in Italy…drinking Gin from England in front of a heater made in China smoking tobacco blended in (also sitting on my ass in) the good old USA. My second resolution is to find Santa’s 3 babes…
Happy New Year - may you enjoy a prosperous and healthy year.
Just finished smoking Sutliff Walnut Match in an early smooth brown Radice Tiger Eye G medium bend bulldog with a bamboo-style carving on the shank with a two dot black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Now smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Going to work on an art commission.
A third of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked. I'll likely end the day with this smoke.
