Low Country Edisto from May 2022 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Been relaxing after a wonderful salad, steel head trout and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm off to work with a bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem. No coffee tonight due to the humidity, so it's ice water and bergs until bed time.
Haunted Bookshop and root beer hits different. I’m starting to smoke a lot of this haunted bookshop stuff
Breaking away from the Steam Works for some 2019 Penzance in my gorgeous Algerian briar ‘Made in Ireland’ Peterson from the late 40’s.
Kramer’s Father Dempsey in a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Squire
It’s been a busy day. Halfway through a Drew Estate factory smoke. I love these, though IMO they’re not all the same.
Wilke Surbrug Crystal Palace in a new Morgan Bones bent brandy.
Nightcap in the Peterson Sherlock Holmes Baskerville rusticated
Watch City Glass Slipper in a BBB Walnut Own Make 428.
Another humid day, but on this one, the monsoonal clouds rolled in during the late morning, and built up to an incredible soaking rain around 4pm that lasted perhaps half an hour. The mustang did not benefit from this free car horse wash from nature--he rolled right in the mud! Wifey cleaned him off, and we both took a little walk down a ways to nibble on some fresh grass. Not having Ashton Rainy Day on hand, I chose Winding Road instead, in an Al Pascia meerschaum billiard. The smell of the plant matter, both inside and outside of my pipe, was wonderful, although the outside stuff was blessedly inflammable. 8.7/10
Bird report: California scrub-jay, House finch, California towhee, White-breasted nuthatch, Mountain chickadee, American crow, and Western bluebird. No flying bird feces to contend with this time around, thankfully.
Wishing a good week to everyone!

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking Wilke No. 78 in a straight black sandblasted undated, unbranded Made in France short shank billiard with a long black vulcanite tapered stem.

Starting to feel like vacation now.

Mac Baren Burley London Blend in a Tsuge Arashi.
Davidoff Medallion in a cob. Sweet Virginia, pepper and cavendish with a nice sunset.
Now smoking Wilke Little Round Top in an undated straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Sterling bulldog 150 with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. It's time to feed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave after Sleepy Suzy eats. Harry the Hairy is eating outside. Still haven't seen Abner the Eager.
