CD Opening Night in a Rubino Antico. First go with it, very good. Happy New Year!
I've passed the first third of this bowl of year 2024 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. All the cats are eating now. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
C&D Cross Eyed Cricket: C&D MM Charlestown Cobbler
Those Four Kicks sticks are excellent cigars.....
Scott, I'll bet it made you sick when your dad's initials lifted off.2024 Exclusive in my father's Larus & Brother Signature Dublin (it used to have his initials, but they lifted right away when I used a some heat to realign the stem a few years ago) with morning coffee.

Remember the old 16bit graphics?

Gotta ask you, Paul, if you got any cool comments while out amongst the "unwashed masses" regarding that good lookin' pipe??
Also, wearing that Mets hat, did the Missus ask you to walk behind her by 10-12 ft. and act as though you don't know her?
I enjoy this blend very much. Golden Falcon with white bit and meer Dublin bowl.
Bowl nine for the Ali Brandy meer, stuffed full of some OGS from 2014. Phenomenal. Could only hope that if I sat more aside for the same amount of time that it would be as good as it is now. Had some square OGS tins from around 2015, I think, and even then, it didn’t touch this stuff. Maybe just a lucky tin.
Yeah, I wasn't excited. The vulcanite stem was bent about 15 degrees to the side (from decades of being in a box in an attic?). Was able to warm and bend it straight but the effort lifted the imprints immediately. C'est la vie. Now i know better? But I expect I would do it again to remedy that kind of bend... Open to suggestions for a way to bend/straighten vulcanite without putting stampings at risk!
Thank you! And you are likely very much in the right.
Second bowl of WC Fat Bastard. Still on the fence on this one.
Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem.
2024 Pirate Kake in a 2025 G. Spitaletti rusticated pot with silver accent bands on stummel and stem. Happy New Year!
Purple Cow in a Stublin on my lunch break.
Smoking LJ Peretti 500 in a Peterson 106.
C&D Quiet Nights in a Peterson Deluxe Natural B42.
Three smokes of C&D Derringer/Exclusive in a pre-republic Peterson’s Sterling 120 took care of this morning’s chores.
