Just finished smoking year 2015 Mac Baren Virginia #1 in a straight black 1925 Dunhill patent shell Canadian 33 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Well, about did myself in. Wasn't going to do the break in thing today, but forthcoming festivities in my life dictated otherwise. Smoked 3 bowls today, breaking in two Falcon removable bowls on the same stem. Not with Pirate Kake, but with that raunchy but lovable aromatic, Backweeds Buttered Bum. Dried it out a lot, and made a lot of progress with the carbon cake, and could actually taste the tobacco this time. The varnish in the bowls is definitely wearing off. I'll survive. Couple of cigar days should bring me back to normal, whatever that is. Here's the pipe with one of the bowls.
Lots of events coming up for me these next two weeks so I'll leave this thread, (be back in 3rd week of August), but will post occasionally in other appropriate forums. I'm Small Bore Director at the Prince George Rod and Gun club, and I'm going to be running a couple of demonstrations in Field Target at the club (it's a highly competitive airgun target competition, but we don't have a division in this city, either in air rifle or air pistol) and that's my job. To establish that. I used to have to drive to Haney BC in the Lower Mainland to compete. It is my hope that this discipline will take root up here so we can have regionals rather than having to travel.
Also, rabbit season (actually snowshoe hares) opens up here next week, and I want to be ready, so I'll be sighting in my .22 CZ Scout so I can harvest some winter fare. It'll hold 1/4 inch groups at 50 yards if I do my part, but I haven't shot it since last year. Grouse opens up in September, as well.
I'm also finishing up a couple of compositions and articles for performance and publication, the last movement of an orchestral suite and a Stabat Mater for soprano, baritone and orchestra. Deadlines and such are creeping up upon me.
I'd like to thank all of the guys in this "What are You Smoking in July" forum. I've learned a lot and will be back late August or so. Most of the guys that post are lifers, and I've felt a bit intimidated at times, but wow was it a great experience for me. As I said above, like the Terminator, "I'll be back." And I'll certainly post a few threads here and there on tobacco surveys and pictures of my collection. Salut guys!! See y'all soon!

Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1984 medium bend black grain etched Savinelli Non Pareil 9310 poker with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite flared stem.

Good luck in your endeavors! See you in late August

Half way through this bowl of 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Fed Tomato the Brave a while ago, and as Daisy the Feral Princess is outside, he's snoozin' on "her" blanket.
Now smoking Wilke No. 515 Double Shot 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 is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. I may end the day with this smoke. Just finished reading today's box scores.
That thing really does some insane interpretations man. Very cool!Another go with Sixpence, this time in my Radice Rind "Elephante" (I'm gonna stick with that!) after a dinner out at our local. Took a few pics with the rabbit r1 of the view off the deck after: first is the basic 'magic' version, next two are "make it look steampunk" and "make it look like an apocalyptic wasteland" (her idea).

Last smoke of the day is Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a black rusticated medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 67/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. I still have a few things to do. Time to check on the ferals.
I have to tell you this story. A couple of months back when I was doing my walking, I called for Tomato the Brave so I could feed him if he was around. Some people visiting my neighbors were looking at me kind of strange, and one of them asked, "Why are you calling tomatoes?" I said in my best Elmer Fudd voice, "Huh, huh, huh, I am huntin' tomahtoes." They didn't get the joke or that I was making fun of them. However, I noticed my neighbor was laughing, and I told him to explain it to the others. I walked on wondering if those morons ever understood any of it.
Very similar to my Peterson. Can't recall the model number. I've grown very fond of mine. That's very nice briar on that bowl - mine is a rusticated version.
You certainly have some gorgeous pipes!
You have some real classics in your collection!!
Smoking Half and Half in a University Deluxe billiard. Water is my drink as I fight a bad case of indigestion.
Good morning. Smoking the first third of mb# Capstan Gold, in a Ser Jacopo Calabash. 
I'm sorry. I wish you a speedy recovery, friend Richmond.
Must be a sick day. I awoke with nausea and started to sweat, went outside and puked for the first time in a couple yrs. Not lots, Not real explosive. Starting to feel better now and wondering what was the cause.
Got my second cuppa going and about to select another combo to smoke after having smoked a bowl of Match Mark Twain in my no named Octo-paneled, square shanked sitter.

Couldn't sleep, so I'm up and am half way through this bowl of year 2018 D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a tapered black vulcanite stem. When I fed the ferals a couple hours back, I couldn't figure out why Harry the Hairy was yowling with Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave inside the house. I put food down for him in the usual place, and then I realized Abner the Eager was hiding behind the grill. I brought him in to eat, and he ate a bowl and a half of dry food. I wonder if he ate at all during the two days we didn't see him. I hated putting him back outside, and he gave me a sad growl, but I had to do it. I paid him a fair amount of attention so he'd know he wasn't being punished. Think I'll go for a casual walk.
