Last day of the sweet long weekend. And the mailman woke me up quite early. But I got the spare batteries for my camera. And can do long photoshoots again. So I am balancing the day with some midroast Ethiopian coffee and Sweet Killarney in my Peterson Dracula 999.
Astley's No. 99 Royal Tudor Full Latakia Mixture in a Ferndown bulldog. This tin is about 3 years old and it is buttery smooth. A nice after breakfast smoke with a side of Castleton first flush Darjeeling.
Some three-year-old Moe's Confetti in a Comoy's The Everyman sand-blasted billiard, shape No. 334. This was so good that I went back for a second bowl!
Almost finished this bowl of MacBaren Burley London Blend in a 2001 black sandblasted three quarter bend Rinaldo Lithos YY bulldog with an amber colored stem. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink.
Half way through this bowl of C&D Christmas Blend 2016 in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black vulcanite stem.
Part way through this bowl of 2006 McClelland Bayou Slices (Blakeney’s Best) in a 1970s smooth medium bend Stanwell Rego 969-48 Design Choice 837 sitter with a vulcanite stem and ferrule. Ice tea and bergs is my drink.
Mac Barrens Navy Flake in a Luciano straight blast billiard saddle stem; this is the one smokingpipes brought to a pipe show to save me shipping and gave me a pipe show discount besides, great pipe.
