About a quarter of a bowl left of year 2013 Solani 633 in a 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem.
First bowl in a new Stanwell 32 unfinished Bulldog. Macbaren HH Pure Virginia. Loving this pipe! Sorry about the busy background. Smoking in the garage cause heat index is 109 here.
A third of the way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Verg 21 in a straight smooth brown 1930s (Comoy’s) Lions Head 123 pot with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Yankees-Phillies game.
Finished my cigar, but I can’t quit on such a great scene, so for dessert I’m having some Reiner Gold Blend #71 folded and stuffed in a Dr. Grabow Cardinal. The fish are jumping here in FL!
This is a pressing of the 1st blend that I made. Found it in the back of my hoard (erm, "cellar") this morning. I had forgotton that it was there. As such it has almost 3 years on it. Filling up the my Castello SC Hawkbill and heading outside.
Temple Bar with a smidgen of Newminster 400, to sweeten up the deal a bit as the sourness of the orientals are a bit puckering. In a HUGE no name meercham block billiard 102 with metal tenon.
