Now smoking year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a slight bend 1968 group 4S Dunhill Shell 475 cherrywood with a tapered black vulcanite stem.



I heard Abner the Eager crying and banging at my back door. As soon as I opened it, he snuck in, ate all the cat food, and started playing with a cat toy. Sleepy Suzy was definitely not amused, but I thought it was precious.

I believe the Pipe is a Savinelli 904 Brown Alligator. AKA “ The @Chasing Embers Special

I was slow sipping some Lane 1-Q in my Barontini 1/2 spigot bent billiard and pondering an article I had just read and a point with which I disagreed, when I noticed a large spider running towards my face ... I flicked my pipe away and didn't see anything. Then I saw the tiny spider running across the driveway. It had come down from a tree and landed on my pipe shank and was running up the stem to my mouth when I flicked it away. They look really large up close !! I was enjoying the smoke so I wasn't entirely bothered. I find Lane 1-Q attracts bees and butterflys and now apparently spiders.

On a related note, I had hoped that smoking Shepherd's Pie, Mississippi Mud, and other latakia blends would discourage mosquitos, gnats, and the like. Alas, the experiment has not worked. Oh, the critters stay away from the pipe, and the smoke plume, but they land on my skin with impunity!

Obviously, Abner has adopted you, whether your other cats like it or not. He's a beautiful cat!

A little Peterson Kapp-Royal 998 I was lucky @captainsousie listed on the FS a long while back. It’s a perfect little workhorse - almost Peterson “short” but not quite and the stem/button nice and slim. And …. KBV Embry’s Dream Eireann.
