My, that is indeed a Mama.
Not me. Got too many monsters.
MB Cherry Ambrosia in a Falcon.
Difficult situations to photograph - a polarizing filter is about the only way to eliminate reflections, and then you'll run into exposure hassles. Been there and done that.
Watch City American Cut Plug in tne little meer.
Last Evening's Smoke: Just another continuation of the break-in of my favourite ugly, the Mr. Brog #52 "Scoot". Probably the final one, it's #5. Did the "Parfait" thing, with a base of Capt. Black dark, a middle of my genre favourite, Borkum Riff Dark Cavendish, and a top of Smoker's Pride Cherry Cavendish.
The pipe spoke to me, and said to me from the top down, "cherry go away, BK okay, and CB here to stay."
Quite surprised, actually, figuring on the BK, but as the bowl on this sucker is huge, and I got bored after a full 90 minutes and put it down. . . . . . . and I've already designated this monster as my opera pipe . . . . I'll put it aside for a couple of days, and use the CB Dark as a starting point to finalize the tobacco, genre and/or opera and movie that'll amuse me for a couple of hours.
I'd probably be wise to listen to "THE THING"; . . . this is the 2nd time that its preferred the Captain Black. I really like the tobacco, have lots of it. so maybe it's a done deal. To be continued . . . . and continue to be amazed at how well this beast smokes.

The show was called 'Spitting Image' and it was merciless to politicians, too. I miss it a lot - especially now there's such a crop of new potential victims in UK, richly deserving the same treatment.

C&D Autumn Evening in the Bones Brandy. This pipe is getting really dark.
Did a set of walking reps, chatted with a neighbor, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Back to watching the ball game. Did not see Abner the Eager.

That is coloring up nicely. I love the way those Bones pipes turn.

Heard my neighbor mowing his lawn so I realized its time for me to mow mine as well. For the occasion I loaded up a Cob with some Big N Burley. I can say I've done a chore today so now I'm really allowed to goof off for the rest of the day.
