Well, I decided to have a third…. This time it’s some 9 year old McClelland Blackwoods Flake in an Ardor Marte Fantasy (Damiano) Bent Apple with yet a third rum and coke on the side…. Starting to feel pretty good….

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2018 Mac Baren Original Flake in a straight smooth dark brown 1918 Pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 2 apple with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Watching a Tim Holt Western.
One more and you’ll probably be ready the to go internet pipe shopping lol
Hahaha! I have been already…. Just haven’t pulled the trigger yet….
It brought a smile to my face, seeing you posting/smoking. Good to see you back in the saddle!
Trigger has been pulled……
Trigger has been pulled
After this fourth rum and coke I just poured…… it may be pulled again…..?
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Community Coffee,neat, is my drink. Going to finish this Jughead story tonight.
Dang, that sucks! I only have about an ounce and a half left…..
Now smoking D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a black tapered vulcanite stem.
SG St.James Flake in a HCA Stanwell and some Herbal Tea on the side.
I was sitting with Les Young (aka LesTrout) in the smoking tent, at the Chicago Show last Saturday, as we smoked our pipes and talked of jazz. I had a bowlful of Samovar in my Castello Sea Rock KKKK 49 bent Dublin, but I can’t remember what Les was smoking.
One of Les’ friends came up with a sealed tin of 1941 Three Nuns. He proceeded to cut the top, and the most incredible aroma wafted out. He offered us some. It was quite dry and very dark, but still beckoned to be smoked. I took a pipeful for later, as did Les. We marveled at the strong, sweet smell of Virginias, and the still slight piquant scent of Perique.
This afternoon was gorgeous; sunny, low 70s, and a little breezy, a perfect time to smoke this 81-year-old treasure. I chose my Sixten Ivarsson Stanwell 90, stuffed it with my slightly crispy sample, and lit up. OMG! It was amazing!
All the deep flavors were still there: the sweet, mellow full Virginias, and a hint of what was left of the spicy Perique.
I sipped, oh so slowly, to make the most of the rare chance at smoking this storied blend. It was a magnificent hour.
I kept hydrated (and, lest I get too giddy, of this world), with a tall, berg-filled glass of Bombay Sapphire and Fever-Tree tonic with a nice wedge of lime. Ahhh, Nirvana!

Just finished smoking Low Country Pipe & Cigar Natural Virginia & Burley in a 2020 straight black sandblasted Merchant Service “Bing” Standard with a nickel band and black vulcanite tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Clan in a clay.
Need to keep practicing for clay pipe smoking competitions!

Just finished that Jughead story and this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Accent in a pre-WWII straight smooth brown The Lumberman Special (Comoy’s) with a tapered black vulcanite saddle stem. Time for an apple!
