Just finished smoking C&D Burley Ribbon Cut in a 1970s slight bend black sandblasted Comoy's Silver Cloud 624 sitter with a silver pearl gray acrylic stem.

Now smoking Art’s Virginia in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth bulldog meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Phone chatting about weird phenomenons.

Not far from finishing this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Delight in a smooth 1976 Canadian GBD Seventy Six 256 with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Well, I decided to have another smoke because a friend of mine has kept me awake. I expect to kill him soon!!!! Year 1999 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a 1970s dark brown straight Linkman Signature billiard with a nickel band and a black vulcanite tapered stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem.

Just smoked a bowl of Rimboche S.J. in my smooth yello=bole lovat with a briar stummel. I sanded this baby down to it's fairly natural finish and ran through the micro pads to get a really good view of all the dark putty fills. I like it better this way.

However, I discovered recently, that a hot water wash will also wash out putty fills. That happend on a MasterCraft DeLuxe 1/2 bent, and I've begun to experiment with rustication. Baby steps so far, with a dremel. It's not really fun so far.

C&D Billy Budd Blonde in a no-name meer, with coffee and the morning paper.

Saturday was Vincent Manil Reserve du Patron in a St. Claude. Wow, I love semois--so rich and earthy, but at the same time very mild and smooth, to my taste.
Sunday was Country Squire Maple Twist in a MM cob. I enjoy preparing the rope twists, but the two I've had (this and G & H Sweet Whiskey Rope) seem a tad on the harsh side, although I may have been smoking them a bit too fast.

GLP Sixpence in a Cavalier figural meer by Medet, with coffee.

 

[timt]

Orlik Golden Sliced in a Savinelli Tre smooth straight dublin.

 

[JimInks]

Starting my smoking day with a bowl of early 70s Douwe Egberts Nord-Sund in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black ferrule and vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Suzy and Molly were rasslin', and woke me up. Once I was awake, they went to sleep. Imagine that!

 

[cigrmaster]

2012 Fribourg & Treyer Special Brown Flake in a Rad Davis Brandy.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking old Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.

 

[jaytex1969]

Relaxing after a tasty lasagna lunch with a bowl of year 2015 Peter Heinrichs Curly Block in a straight black sandblasted 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite stem. A bottle of Boylan's Birch Beer made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo's show even though he has guest hosts all week.
