Half way through this bowl of year 2011 F&T Golden Mixture in a smooth straight pre-transition Barling 313 T.V.F. EXEXEL pot with a black ebonite stem.
Now smoking HU Old Fredder’s Broken Flake in a smooth straight early 1960s Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.
Just pulled one of the fabled "sublime" smokes out of a load of Frog Morton in a Savinelli 111KS, while watching Werner Herzog's Lessons Of Darkness on Netflix.
Satisfied and somber. An unusual combination.
Now smoking the pipe that my lady got me for Father's Day. A 50/50 mix of 40th Anniverary and a mix of Macedonia, Izmir, and Yenidje in a pre '70s Savinelli Deluxe Siena Sand 9004. Oriental heaven with sweet and spicy.
Now smoking 2010 McClelland Black Parrot in a 1980 Stanwell 668 medium bend with a multi-colored ferrule, half black sandblasted, half brown smooth, rough top with a black vulcanite stem. Phone chatting about my work which was a lot in a few days.
Now smoking MacBaren Mystery Blend in a 2018 smooth straight flame grain Basil Meadows Merchant Service "Bing" replica with an aluminum band and black ebonite stem. Watching a Hopalong Cassidy movie.
