Getting ready to watch the broadcast of UFC on ESPN: Derrick Lewis vs. Tallison Teixeira, taking place at the Bridgestone Arena, in Nashville, Tennessee. Having Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding in a Briar, Sweat, and Tears (BST) Large Curve (LC) Swan Neck 3/4 Bent Billiard.
My little 1:12 scale room isn’t quite done. I’m waiting for several items from Spain, that were already supposed to be here, but got delayed in transit/customs; they will supposedly be here early next week, but I was anxious to share my little project sooner than later. This started out as a nod to
@AreBee with his Syroco thrift store find, and
@PaulRVA ’s little Oriental rug, often featured in his pipe photos. I posted a photo with a Syroco chair pipe rest and a less than ideal Oriental rug without real fringe a month or two ago.
@Choatecav was following with interest. Not wanting to do things half-assed, I dove down the rabbit hole and decided to take things to the logical extreme and make this fun with all sorts of details (that are mutable). I got a little rug with fringe and decided I needed a room to put the chair and rug in; a smoking chair needed an end table next to it; a table needed a lamp; walls needed wallpaper, outlets and light switches, and so on.
@Briarcutter was absolutely right—this could go on forever adding different items; I followed his prompt of mentioning pets, and decided my room needed to include a 1:12 scale version of our Chihuahua, Wasabi. The picture frame on the end table has pics of
@JimInks and
@sablebrush52 for now; other members might make appearances in these spots in the future.

Smoking Telegraph Hill in a new-to-me Doug Finlay. This is by far my chunkiest pipe, it's a very comfortable hand holder with a nice bit. Enjoying it a lot so far.
