A quarter of the way through this bowl of early 2000s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
Firing up this Vauen Woog for the first time. Didn’t wanna break it in with anything expensive so put in some trusty Green Dragon from The Country Squire.
Awesome pipe! Been dying for one.
Check European sites. Found it for almost half of what the American ones were selling it for.
EGR in this Savinelli. Refreshing on a hot afternoon.
Yeah, you win the man points with that. Been eyeing an Alex 1 also.

Back to the Black!
Tsuge tasting blast billiard with Tree Sails pipe.
I bought it at 10.8.2005 as my FIRST pipe and it still relevant, but too big for me now!
Almost 18 years of pipe smoking,lots of pipes,lots of tobaccos,lots of pipe makers ,friends and memories…
Nice journey

Did a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Got three blends to review today. It's time for some lunch.

First time trying Chacom No.3 while catching up on local news...
Picked this aro up in Paris on request from my father to find a 'french aromatic' to bring back. Turns out, of course, to be a blend designed in America (by Jeremy Reeves), and made in Germany (Kohlhase & Kopp). C'est la vie.
Opening the tin has very nice sweet boozy rich aroma. Good moisture level. don't know what/how to describe taste just yet. Pairs nicely with coffee.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am starting off another review day with a bowl of Erik Stokkebye Twilight (4th Generation) in a 1980s White Pipe straight lattice apple meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
2018 Viprati (thanks to secret santa) in my sandblasted Peterson 314 - my absolute best smoking pipe of any brand - no competition. Don't know why. I even have 5 other 314's but this one is the best. It's the newest... I have 4 smooth that were all estates, a rusticated that I can't remember if I got new or not. Trying to figure out why it smokes so DARN WELL! Dry, very little moisture compared to other pipes no matter which blend goes in, small chamber seems to be a miniature black hole and a small amount of leaf just goes on & on. I'm wondering if "new" might be part of it? Anyway, 'twas a delight this am.
I was going to say it was the acrylic stem but that doesn’t actually make any sense lol. Glad that your best smoker is one that you’re able to enjoy and not get irritation from!
I contacted a woodworker on Etsy, and he did a revision of the design to accommodate longer pipes. Pretty easy with most designs. I was going to include a link, but his site is no longer active.
Look at Stokkebye optionsI want the right churchwarden. I kind of think we should all own one!
