One more bowls of Sir Walter Raleigh. Another estate find pipe, a Belgravia 8 panel. The only reference I can find is to an affluent district in Central London, covering parts of the areas of both the City of Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Bourbon as my drink.

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 1923 Velvet in a smooth brown medium bend early 1900s C.P.F. The Chesterfield (Peterson copy) French briar military mount billiard with a nickel cap and black vulcanite AB p-lip stem.

For this morning's commute it was GLP Cairo in a Ropp Heritage sitter. The ride home consisted of GLP Caravan in a MM Hardwood.

Was able to sneak in a couple more pipes after dinner. Bat with a hat in a MM Pride and some Pegasus in a MM hardwood with some red wine.

Sutliff Match Sobranie 759 in a Dr. Grabow Royalton bent bulldog without bead lines, easily my favorite Dr. Grabow pipe. The blend has gotten better integrated over time, with a few edges, but nice clarity and flavor. These Royalton bulldogs have disappeared from the new pipe inventory (so far as I can see), so I suspect a senior carver who did them has retired. It has my vote for best of the brand.

First smoke of June (and a belated celebration of what would be my maternal grandmother's 100th birthday) is Peterson Connoisseur's Choice in my MM mini-cob. Although I do love this little guy, it may end up decaying from disuse once my Country Gentleman arrives next week.

Bird report: Common raven, California scrub-jay, White-breasted nuthatch, Hairy woodpecker, California towhee, House finch, and Oak titmouse. Looking forward to a visit with a pipe/cigar friend on Sunday, even though I have to brave a lunch with the in-laws first...it'll be worth it! Happy Shavuot (early).

Enjoying some Folded Flake while I play Phase 10 with my wife. Currently on the table is Bev Kelly.

MB HH Pure Virginia in an Alden.

[warren99]

Balkan Supreme in a Talbert Ligne Bretagne dublin

 

[onestrangeone]

Pegasus in a Silver Grey Hawk’s egg

 

[Hillcrest]

Country Squire 'Whatever ?????' in an Erica half bent billiard system (Peterson Second). Straight grain on sides and birdeye on bottom. 20mm x 42mm chamber. The stem button is flat at the end with a single hole in it. Its a nice stem like a straw. The Erica seems suited to sipping english aromatics.

Today’s pipe: my fantastic smoking machine, a Savinelli Tre rusticated 104. Packed well with my “summery English” home blend. Mostly red VAs with some Turkish Orientals and Latakia. But also has a good splash of stoved VA (507-S). Wow it really adds something! In general, I did a pretty smashing job with this blend. Perfect for a mild late spring day.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm close to finishing this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead plug in a medium bend, smooth brown 1950s Peterson 999 Dublin chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-Rockies game and taking the night off of work to enjoy an evening of smoking.
