Part way through this bowl of the very dry year 2010 Villager Virginia No.444 in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Have enough for a couple more bowls. Time to do some more walking.

Where NY, CT & MA meet
Peterson Royal Yacht in a Dunhill 35 Shell Billard w/after market silver band and F/T stem with a large chip on the underside near the button. This was part of a flea market lot that I picked up awhile ago. I finally got around to cleaning it up and this is my first smoke. The gent that must have owned them loved silver bands and had them put on everything. I don’t know the date or grp# (though I’m guessing it’s a 3) as that part of the nomenclature is covered by the silver band. The bowl is worn unevenly and it’s generally disreputable but I thought I would give it a chance. I may find a way to patch the stem since it’s not worth replacing. Smoking well about 1/4 of a bowl in. I have a similar one from the same lot ready for tomorrow but in the 250 billiard shape with a crappy replacement stem.

Drink of choice is Glendalough Double Barrel Irish whisky. I was looking to pick up some more of their fantastic gin, which has wild grown Irish botanicals when I came across this. Smooth and delicious.
