Lovely pipe.
Some much needed moisture in the form of mixed snow and rain today.
The Peterson 101 Made in the Republic of Ireland Billiard with some tasty WC 558.
Some Pu’erh tea with honey.

Did a set of walking reps, brought up trash and recycle cans, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. An off diet lunch follows this smoke.
Giving Firebird Flake another go in my Rattray's Beltane's Fire smooth Rhodesian. It has been a journey, but I am close to liking this blend. 
Feeling like something sweet after lunch.
Frog Morton's Cellar in this Savinelli Autograph. This one smokes as good as it looks.
Love the Silver Ben !!!!

Well since I’m under the weather and feeling like crap, I decided to smoke some of the crap I’ve had laying around for a few years. Borkum Riff Cherry Liqueur in a cob. With water and probably a scorched mouth in a bit.

GLP Penny Farthing in an Old Dominion Chesapeake cob. The "shag" cut works well in this narrow bowl.
Thank you, sir. It's been in the rotation for many years. Funny thing about this pipe is that at one time i had 2 and didn't even realize i had bought the exact pipe twice! Once the discovery was made (after i started logging my pipes and baccy), of course i had to cull one via ebay. It was a happy day as is usually the case when that gave me all the reason i needed to go pipe shopping again.

Peterson University Flake in a Peterson 127.
Enjoyed four open faced ham, cheddar cheese and two egg biscuits with a golden delicious apple and unsalted peanuts on the side. I'm off to do stuff with a bowl of year 2012 Astley’s No. 55 in a 1978 straight smooth brown BBB Silver Mounted 522 pot with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.
Two more bowls for a total of five so far in the A. Cevik canine. First, Savinelli’s 140th, a personal favorite, and of course the 2020 FVF. Rainy and chilly, but the wind was fair enough.

It’s been a few years since I’ve had this. It’s decent, but not a show stopper for me.
