Finished work for the day, and am passing the half way mark on this bowl of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. Fed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave. Then, Abner the Eager showed up and everybody got nervous, so I spaced out their food hoping that would work. But, Daisy was too upset about seeing Abner, and walked off. I tried to pay Tomato some attention as he gets jealous, but apparently so does Abner, who growled at Tomato, and after both took a swipe at each other, Tomato ran off, too. I tried letting Abner in the house, but Sleepy Suzy got jealous of the attention I paid him, and came over to me reassurance. Abner got jealous, and took a swipe at her and yelped. Suzie growled and hissed, so I had to put Abner out.

Morning All! I have been up and at work since 4.30 so this isn't exactly my first bowl of the day. Since I have an industrial amount of work to get through today I am using my 'incinerator' meerschaum. It is the pipe worlds answer to the AK47, as opposed to point, shoot and forget this pipe is light, puff and forget. In keeping with my low maintenance approach to smoking today I intend to get to the bottom of my feelings regarding Ennerdale Mixture vs. Ennerdale Flake. I swear they are the tobacco worlds equivalent to badge engineering but we shall see. Enjoy your day or as our Japanese friends would say 'Be happy in your work!'. I'll pop by later and see how everyone is getting along.

Now smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth, fumed top three quarter bend 1970s Peterson military mount meer with a nickel cap and a black vulcanite saddle stem. I've spent three months working to get out ghosts and carbon on this pipe, so I'm test running it with a blend I am very familiar with. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Were you able to get the ghosts out?

Woke up with an unexplainable craving for Frog Morton.

Since I don't have any, I'm subbing in SG Perfection which is the closest thing I have right now. Don't know if it's because my tastes have changed or because 7 years forgotten in the back of the closet greatly improves this stuff, but it's really hitting the spot.

Now smoking some of Sutliff's Queen Anne's Revenge. The pipe? A Blatter & Blatter Oom Paul, signed by Patrick Blatter. One white dot and one red dot. This smoke is so mellow and smooth. Despite my best efforts to the contrary, there is no sign of any tongue bite. 😉Blatter 4 Oom Paul.JPG
