Did a second set of walking reps in the heat and humidity, and smoked a bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Peretti 111 in a Brulor Page pot with ebonite stem, and an Athletic Brewing non-alc Hazy IPA. re Brulor per cigarworld.de: Brulor was the brand of a certain Monsieur Brulois, a wholesaler of pipes and smoking accessories based in Paris. He had the pipes made to his specifications by Ropp, Jeantet and in the Saint Clauder workshops of Charles Hecht. Unfortunately, the trace of the company disappears in the 1950s. This pipe comes from an attic find in Paris, where several thousand pipes were found. The design and packaging indicate that the pipes were made in the late 1940s or early 1950s. The pipe maker Bruno Nuttens bought these pipes, and it is a pleasure for us to be able to offer them now. They are simple, inexpensive pipes, made as a smoking instrument and not as an aesthetic accessory. They therefore do not meet modern production standards, we do not want to conceal that. But the wood, which is at least 70 years old, is excellent to smoke! We speak from experience. All pipes as usual at that time without filter drilling, with ebonite or horn mouthpiece.

Smoking some incredible new (to me) tobacco: Smoker Friendly's Sweet Natural. An incredible smoke. You have to try it to believe it. @Briar Lee has a good review of it.

See Sweet Natural by Smoker Friendly :: Pipe Tobacco Reviews - https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/sweet-natural-by-smoker-friendly.95939/

The pipe is a Blatter and Blatter tomato (one red dot).

2013 Dunhill Flake in this Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock. Conversation in another thread about pipe size decided me on this combination. Love this pipe!

Resurrected carved cheroot meer (put back in smoking shape by @RustiePyles CPG who fabricated a replacement bowl and stem for me), enjoyed for likely the first time in many decades. Here with a tasty Toscano Anno Domini 1492 cheroot (100% American Kentucky tobacco, both wrapper and filler).
