Near the half way mark of this bowl of first production Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a straight smooth brown Algerian briar family era Barling’s Make Billiard 6 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. The stampings suggest 1930s, but the “6” is a previously unknown stamp number and placement. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 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 was the original 515 that Basil Rathbone smoked, and the model that he smoked it in. I let Tomato the Brave in to eat, dried him off, and after all of that, he laid on my lap for ten minutes for some attention. When Sleepy Suzy came up to the chair with some jealousy, Tomato jumped down, and went to the door. I let him out, and let Daisy the Feral Princess in. She stayed out of the rain, and is eating now. I'll let Harry the Hairy in when she's finished eating. Dunno who activated the motion light on the side of the house, but it may have been Shy Stripesy. Dunno where Abner the Eager is.

I learned while watching the Pirates game that they've played .500 ball since they changed managers. A lot of times I feel like it wasn't the manager's fault when a team is bad, but he gets the blame regardless. Looks like this was an effective change so far.

A third of the way through this bowl of Wilke Back Bay w/o perique in a smooth brown quarter bend post-2002 Porsche Design 277-04 radiator horn Made in Holland with an aluminum cap and a tapered black acrylic stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in a while. Finished reading baseball box scores, and am doing other reading. If the ferals let me, I'll end the day with this smoke.

Ye gods, group 5 bowls are humongous! Is a 5117 a Bulldog or a Rhodesian, properly speaking? Looks half of one and half of the other.
I joke calling them Bulldesians because the numerical shape class is labeled a Rhodesian however they’re Diamond Shanked Squat Bulldogs in shape go figure🤷‍♂️
Here’s their Rhodesian 😂IMG_2090.jpeg
