Got all the chores done before the Temperature hits the anticipated high of 103 deg today. Found some shade on the east patio.
Smokin the Dublin Meer with a 50/50 mix- 2017 Yorktown and 2021 C&D Izmir Turkish. A glass of sweetened ice tea mixed with Kombucha accompanying.

Well, I ordered a new pipe due to arrive Friday according to the tracking, so yesterday I went to the B&M to pick up another inexpensive leather pipe stand. My Mac Baren HH Burly flake came today, popped the seal on the tin and giving it 24 hours to rest before trying it out.

Meanwhile, the B&M gave me a sample of the Sutliff Black Cordial when I went in yesterday, so that's what I'm having this afternoon and saving the HH Burley Flake for tomorrow. So far, I like it... generally not the biggest fan of aros, but this one is good. Great smell on the char light, taste lighter on smoking and unlike many aros, doesn't burn my nose on a retrohale. Might have to go back and buy a few ounces of this stuff.

Today, it’s going to be more Anthology. I’ve got to say, yesterday’s bowl was mighty tasty. I’m going to try to recapture that magic. Drinking ice water at the moment, but a hump day bourbon will be poured soon.

Cheers!

Now smoking Orlik Racing Green in a Brewster. Another cup of coffee is my drink, as I get ready to run a few errands.

@Richmond B. Funkenhouser It's going to be 1776 at that clay pipe smoking competition.

Early evening 1/2 bowl of Country Squire Green Dragon in a newly cleaned 38 yr old(ish) Savinelli 2614KS with 6mm charcoal filter watching a couple of Monarch Butterflies make a pit stop in the yard during their migration. One yellow blue black, the other black purple and blue. They feed on the milk weed on the hill which is approximately 96% of their diet which is why I didn't cut it down even though its a big weed.

Late afternoon bowl of C&D Kajun Kake in a Burak Connoisseur smooth Tankard with straight tapered stem size 2. Heat, humidity and Perique blends: that's Summer in the South for me.

Breaking in my second unsmoked acquisition. This one is a straight smooth squat apple. It is also one of those 1950’s, found in an attic somewhere in France, Brulor Mowbray pipes purchased on Etsy from Bruno Nuttens. The other one is a squat Rhodesian. I removed the shiny finish with some Everclear on a cotton pad.
Wow, these pipes are a steal at approx $28 each.
C&D Three Friars and a glass of Kirkland Irish.
Happy hump day to you working stiffs!

Thanks buddy. The end of the shank is the original plateau edge of the stummel, I just counter bored it to seat the stem.

Good call on that design choice. I'm a fan of rough sawn wood, live edges, old wood, and artisan work, so that detail instantly caught my eye. Looking forward to the next rollout.

C&D Dark Burley in the Bastard Billard Meer. I honestly can't believe meerschaum doesn't ghost. I purposely smoked a heavy aromatic yesterday and just wiped out the bowl with a paper towel, not a hint of 7Seas!!

I had a rough day of recovery from my Long Covid Auto-immune disease. I felt weak and tired all day, but I'm getting better every day. I enjoyed my evening setting in the side yard, watching the happenings of small town America. I was smoking my Stanwell bent apple fishing briar full of Sutliff's Balkan Sobrainie 759. A nice blend to finish a day.
