Now smoking year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Can't be any more boring than my posting the same yard cobs everyday.
Ashton Artisan in an Oldenkott Supra Grand 
The little girl Corgi just finished her period so the house is clean now

Plum Pudding in an Altinay slightly bent billiard with coloring bowl. Hope everyone has had a great 4th!
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have a third of a bowl left of year 2010 FVF in a straight smooth dark brown 1896 W.H. Newman, Ltd. billiard with a sterling silver band and a tapered yellow and orange stem with white swirls and an orific bit.
SG Chocolate Flake with GH Bob's Chocolate Flake on top. Clearing up remnants on my prep board. Still smoking the Donegal Rocky 69.
The midget on a hayride, and GL Pease Sixpence in a wartime (aluminum free, non export) Kaywoodie Flame Grain Meerschaum 40.
Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2020 Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. After Sleepy Suzy eats, I'll let Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave in to eat. No Harry the Hairy or Abner the Eager. Sam the Scamp is snoozin' on top of the cat tree. Wish I could find a home for her. Next week, she goes back outside after having been inside since the scampers were born. I wonder how she'll handle that.
Chenet’s Cake, then Pegasus

Did some low calorie snacking, and have passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy medium bend 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Smokes as well as a first and worth the $19.95 I paid for it all those years ago. Reading baseball box scores.
Hello King -- Did flintlock "technology" follow matchlocks? I believe that percussion caps evolved after flintlocks. And I'm thinking matchlocks were all smoothbores, no rifling. Not sure if flintlocks were exclusively smoothbores. Thinking rifling came in with percussion caps. In the evolution of weaponry, I think flintlocks were a huge upgrade for all uses .... hunting, warfare, etc. I'm also thinking flintlocks were much lighter than matchlocks.

The fireworks are going to the north, to the west, and to the south. Quite a ruckus! Steamworks in my Radice Rind.
Rifled bores preceded caplocks by quite a bit.
The day we are celebrating here in America was due for sure largely in part by that. The smooth bore Brown Bess used by George’s lads was far outranged by the rifles of the Continental Army.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. I may end the day with this smoke.
Morning coffee with Makhuwa and a pinch of Tuarkeh in a ser jac.
Not smoking at the moment as I have contracted man flu, scourge of the world. Enjoying reading your posts though and what you guys are smoking. Take care and in the words of Garfield
Happy Fourth of July to our American members! I just finished up a late walk with the dog while listening to an impressive collection of illicit fireworks. It was blustery with a bit of rain so I chose my largest pipe and filled it only halfway for a bit of protection from the elements. The pipe is a Yorkshire Matched Grain and the tobacco was a Bond Street clone that Pipes & Cigar calls Bourbon Street. It was a very nice aromatic that provided a surprising amount of smoke given the windy conditions.
