Going to light up Presbyterian in a Dr. Grabow CDL (Cooler, Drier, Lighter) with a briar bowl, metal shank, and nylon stem (a Dr. Grabow filter is in the thicker section in front of the stem). The diminutive bowl has a carburetor in the front. This pipe was produced from about 1975–1983 in limited quantities and test marketed in several cities, but, not ever mass marketed. This particular one is not stamped “CDL,” nor does it have the cancellation crosshatching over the CDL stamp seen on many. I have no idea if this is an early or late iteration.

Now smoking D&R Penhooker in a 1990 straight dark brown Commemorative reproduction of the 1890 Peterson Patent System 12393 stack billiard with a silver band and a bowed black acrylic 32 AB long stem p-lip. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Listening to Jack Benny on the XM.

Finished work for the day, and am a quarter of the way through my last smoke of the day, which is Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked.
