6/20 Wessex Gold Virginia Flake in a Castello.

 

[Singularis]

Kramer’s Father Dempsey in my Peterson Kinsale XL14 with some Wild Turkey Longbranch on a big rock to sip. Outside my rear garage door, the rain and wind continue with a pleasant 61 degrees during a late June cool down. Good times. Cheers all.

Beautiful, albeit breezy, Texas evening with the Country Gentleman filled with Lane Ltd Macanudo. The frogs are singing their chorus as usual. Quite pleasant in all regards.

Drink is a Nordic Mule (or Viking Mule, think Moscow Mule but replace vodka with Swedish Akvavit).

GLP Ellipsis Flake in a Castello kk billiard, Cryo Stash IPA on the side.

Cornell and Diehl Burley Flake #1 in the Curt Rollar made American Briar.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1979 black sandblasted medium bend Savinelli Non Pareil 9606 Billiard with a military mount horn ferrule and black vulcanite saddle stem.

 

[Briar Lee]

Feeling pampered, spoiled and privileged smoking Prince Albert to break in my latest ancient, oil cured, aged over a half a century, unstained, unvarnished, unpainted Pre 54 Algerian briar Bertram Grade 40 Bulldog made by a crippled soldier in the shadow of the Capitol dome in Washington DC.

I can almost hear Smiley Bates sing.

I smoked a couple cigars in the morning. Then a couple bowls of Directors Cut in a Radice in the afternoon.

 

[Lucro]

Cigar tonight while I hope for a storm. Opted for a La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor.

 

[Bananacaravanadium]

GH&Co Dark Bird’s Eye in a Vauen Mokka tonight for a back yard smoke after walking the doggo.

 

[cshubhra]

Ravenwood Brandywine Bridge in a Paykoc Meerschaum Bulldog

 

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking year 2014 Esoterica Tilbury in a straight smooth Danish gold straight grain undated W.O. Larsen Hand Made in Denmark dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo.

 

[Tbaggins]

Lancer slices in a Cavicchi

McClelland No. 2015 in an Altinay

Too dark for a proper photo, so I went with a filtered selfie ...
Rando mix o' remnants in the V.F. Cherrywood Morta.
Quiet Texas night with the frogs ...

Not a good day… I called in today, unfortunately it wasn’t just my occasional eye problem (“I” can’t see myself working today)… We’ve decided after a bad evening that it’s time to let our eldest dog move on her journey. Finishing up a smoke of Dark Sails in a Ropp J11 before taking her on her last ride. LiuLiu is a tough old bird, but too heartbreaking to watch her struggle through more bad days than good. She’ll be missed…

Gord's recent loss, now this heartbreaking loss for you. Very, very sorry to know what you're going to go through. Dredges up the same situation. Never easy.

First time trifecta this evening. First smoke from my newly acquired estate Merton prince; using Nording keystones at the bottom; burning a pinch of just-opened F&T Evans Blend for the first time.
And I'm liking it all, quite a bit!

GLP Commonwealth in a Don Carlos One Note Melos barrel.

Absolutely beautiful pipe. Takes today's kewpie doll, methinks! Looks about the perfect size for a contemplative evening smoke.

Very nice floral setting to smoke it in, too!

 

[JimInks]

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2019 HU Directors Cut in a smooth slight bend dark brown 1940s-1950s Comoy’s Blue Riband 228C prince with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Tomato the Brave came in to eat, and then left. Daisy the Feral Princess got some lap time and scratching from yours truly. Harry the Hairy couldn't complain because he got the same from m'lady.

A couple of minutes away from smoking year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LB Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
