Finishing Erinmore in a Barling Sovereign, moving on to CD Green River Vanilla in a Lakatosh freehand.

Not far from finishing this bowl of 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. Another hot and humid day. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching Red Skelton.

Jim, I get the feeling that if CD ever made a blend called "Two Seagulls" you'd buy 5 lbs just on general principles. ?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I’ll definitely check them out if I’m able to shake loose this fall and head that way.

Just don't go on Labor Day. Gatlinburg is always PACKED then! If you like pancakes, though, it's definitely the place to be!

Is the Gatlin Burlier still in business? Someone told me that Ira sold it and the new owners shut it down. I don’t know if that’s true. I hope not. I always enjoy talking with John when I go in there, that guy is something else!

Far as I know it's still there. Was a few months ago (4-5) it's still there!

 

[bnichols23]

Are you talking about this guy? ???

Yup. That's the guy!

I just checked the website. It's still responding!

Finishing off my tin of GL Pease Cumberland in my Brigham Chinook Bulldog. I am starting to “get” this blend but too many other things I want to try in the foreseeable future so I doubt I will repurchase for a while.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of the very dry year 2010 Villager Virginia No.444 in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Time to do some more walking.

Almost half way through this bowl of 1970s Philip Morris Revelation in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth octagonal paneled billiard meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. More ice water and bergs to drink.

Late 1970s H.Simmons Burlington Arcade / shape 709 + H. Simmons DOWN THE ROAD MIXTURE:-



For any pipe smoker travelling to London's West End in and before the 1970s a trip to The Burlington Arcade was a must, specifically to buy pipe tobacco from the two shops within the Arcade - H.Simmons (LUXURIA, DOWN THE ROAD MIX etc.) and Sullivan Powell (SPECIAL MIX, ORIGINAL MIX, GENTLEMAN'S MIX etc.)

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, trout and asparagus dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm part way through this bowl of Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Watching Cannon starring Mr. Conrad.
