Going to have Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding in a GBD Table Pipe. Unfortunately, I don't have the original hose. I bought some silicone tubing, outer mesh, a variety of ebonite stems to fashion a new one—I also picked up a short bicycle pump hose that is cloth wrapped to get closer to the look of what the original probably was. However, I was recently looking at Merchant Service Pipes and stumbled across their Table Pipe and saw that they offered a cloth wrapped hose for sale separately that was three feet long. A longer hose than the bicycle pump one would give me more freedom while working at the computer, so I ordered that. I used an ebonite stem with a slim tenon that would fit inside the hose and recently got a metal Peterson Condenser for Premier System and Deluxe System Stems for the end that plugs into the GBD (rather than waste time grinding down an ebonite stem to fit). The original GBD piece was probably not metal, but, the Peterson Condenser fits the hole pretty nicely and looks cool. Since @mtvernon expressed interest in an MS Table Pipe, I figured it was a good time to smoke my GBD while doing some typesetting and share a photo. I was going to bend the stem, but, I opted to leave it straight for more of a hookah vibe.

It's raining everywhere around me, but not here, so now's my chance...drying a few coins of Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake on a paper towel. The Savinelli Tortuga 614 bent billiard is prepped and ready for loading. Bird report: California scrub-jay, California towhee, House finch, California quail, White-breasted nuthatch, Mountain chickadee, Western kingbird, Common raven, Red-tailed hawk, Ring-necked dove, and Mourning dove. I really do love this pipe, and have from the moment I saw it. ?

As previously promised, here was my view yesterday:

...and today? Not much different:

Gotta love the monsoons! Happy Sunday to everyone.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with a small scoop of double chocolate ice cream for dessert. I'm closing in on the half way mark on this bowl of Chacom No. 4 in a late 50s, early 60s Comoy’s straight smooth dark brown Deluxe 20 billiard with a silver cap military mount and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching Montana starring Errol Flynn.
