to both of you! Enjoy your day!
Isn’t that the truth! Idk if you’ve found it yet or not but if you like some good music, check out the “What are you Listening To” thread in the General Discussion section. Quite a few forum members post some great tunes there daily! Helps get me through my adventures regularly! Hope you’ve had a great Birthday, sir!
Key Largo in a Nording.. Bad storms today. Lost an nice old tree and there's trees down all over town. Could have been worse. Thankfully the power is back on... So I got that going for me. Which is nice.
Got a really exciting smoke today. I won at an auction and got this System Standard 313 in the mail. Gonna have some Ennerdale mixture.
What I wasn’t expecting was a pretty stunning stummel. It has nearly perfect grain, birdseye on sides, straight on the front and back. Forgive my terrible photography. I couldn’t really see the grain when I bid on it so it was a gamble. But the real kicker is I think it’s been smoked maybe, once or twice. Seems like maybe someone tried to smoke about 1/3 of a bowl and then stopped and never picked it up again. I cleaned up some tarnishing on the nickel accent with some steel wool. Other than that, this was an immaculate pipe. Boy do I understand the appeal of silver accents now
. It isn’t an exaggeration to say it is 100 times easier to polish and shine. I’ve taken some pretty big L’s on estate pipes lately so this was a very welcome change of pace.

Thank you, glad to be back! I had a bit of a health scare, but I'm on the rebound. On the up side, I'm off work until some time in August!
Good to hear you’re on the mend! And off until August! Welcome back and have a great summer!
Smoking WCC Old Dominion in a Savinelli Autograph bent Dublin.
Switching it up tonight. I have been on a bit of a Virginia kick of late. Doing some Cult Blood Red Moon in my Boswell tonight.
After a long, arduous travel with some changes along the way, i finally had my second day on the job. This was my first smoke out n about after picking up the rental car at the airport upon arrival.
HU Dockworker in the CAO meer amongst the local palms. I only brought 3 meers and 2 small briars for the next couple weeks. But more than a few choices of baccy!

Off to work with a bowl of 2021 Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Listening to the Giants-Cardinals game. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Thank you.
At least it wasn't ON the house...or worse: through the roof!
I'm clearing a lot right now and doing those very calculations. How far to be away from the building with the tree line and larger trees i'm keeping for yard appeal, etc.
Glad everyone's ok.
Beautiful pipe!
Love that copper tobacco tin! And it goes well with the lighter.
Happy Birthday!Father Dempsey in the little meer. Another day, more adventures. This particular day of adventures finds me turning 44 years young. Which honestly is refreshing because the first 4-5 months of this year I believed that I was going to be 45.
Bold & Strong in my Herbaugh bamboo dublin.
Thank you! It’s been a fine day!
Happy Birthday!Well A Very Happy Birthday to you and you may have turned 44 but are currently in your 45th year so you were somewhat correct.
By the way we share the same birthday and all I will say about my years are that they are 6 years shy of twice yours.
Enjoy your day and wishing you many, many more !
Bob
First time with Chenet’s Cake, I think from 2021
Breaking in my new MM Mark Twain with some Newminster 400.
