Going to pop a tin of Haunted bookshop for a brand new Savinelle TREVI 616 ks , Ive had the pipe for over a year but never gotten around to smoking it. Made a couple of bloody Mary’s for my wife and me. Enjoying a couple of days off after 6 straight 10 hour days .
Home and Hearth Midtown series Chestnut, a match to the discontinued Walnut, in a slightly bent saddle stem semi-rusticated apple by Johs. I would have called this a brandy, but I'll go with the carver, Mogen Johansen, on that. This is my largest pipe, I'd say a Group 6, a little heavy, but all the chamber you need. Some major grain on this one. This was a Christmas gift from my wife in 2010.
Finished my walking sets for the day, and am almost finished smoking D&R Three Sails in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem.
Now smoking Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Braves and Mets are in extra innings.
Smoking some mixed leftovers out of my travel pouch, D&R Ryback and Low Country Natural Virginia&Oriental in a beater homemade yardwork pipe made out of bird cherry wood with a lilac stem. Drinking cheap beers and BBQing burgers at my uncle's house.
It was an insane week at work, so today was spent swimming, making tacos, and more swimming. Gl Pease Westminster in a Savinelli Roma Lucite bent pot. Gonna finish this, jar some blends, and plot my next smoke.
Peterson's System Premier 314 / Made in The Republic of Ireland / Peterson's Dublin Sterling Silver stamped on the army mount with marks for Dublin 1983 + Peterson's SUNSET BREEZE:-
Even though separated by some eighty years the two are not wildly dissimilar with a couple of differences being the shape of the mounts and the flatter more shield shaped P-Lip on the older example:-
