That’s a nice chunk of meerschaum!!

Happy Friday! Sitting in the garage with some music and relaxing with ‘21 Esoterica Dunbar I received from my Secret Santa in this beautiful Bruce Weaver I managed to find and receive right around Christmas. I guess “intricate” is the word to describe the blast and the balance, grain, easy sipping …. nice!

That blast/smooth and black/contrast looks awesome!

Haunted Bookshop for the drive home earlier today. Enjoying some Cowboy Coffee in a Charatan's Make. This pipe smokes sooo nice. Flipping through a used 6th edition of "The Gentle Art of Smoking" that arrived today.

How’s the years treated that BCF?

Went out to put horses up and Bob had gashed his leg open on something this afternoon, so my late afternoon smoke got interrupted and finished as an evening smoke.
Still running 5Bros/DBE breaking the new Ropp J11P in. This one’s a lighter reddish stain than the darkish walnut of the lost one.

Poor Bob. Glad you were there to patch him up.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, haddock and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2014 FVF in a straight smooth dark brown 1896 W.H. Newman, Ltd. billiard with a sterling silver band and a tapered yellow and orange stem with white swirls and an orific bit. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Tomato the Brave showed up a couple of minutes ago, and I dried him off before I fed him. Harry the Hairy was out and back in five times while it was snowing. When the snow turned to rain (shades of Dan Fogelberg), he looked out, and ran to the couch. He finally showed some sense, the silly fella. Here's a few pics of Harry relaxing like a king.

Work week finally completed. I’m enjoying a bowl of Boswell’s cupcake in my Boswell pipe. I’m hoping the weather cooperates and I can make a trip out there tomorrow

How’s the years treated that BCF?

the lat has definitely faded a bit. it's still there but is very nice with age. I also smoke some 2022 BCF, both great.
