Been to live music gig at the Neptune tonight, good to see Callum and his band. They used to come nearly every week but not so often now, good to see them again!
Callum & Melvin got me a pint of cask ale for my birthday, had 4 pints tonight but only paid for 1. Jack & Melvin say they'll both get me a cask pint as a birthday present.
Just 1 vape today, 19 so far this month.
Got bought 3 pints of cask ale & given 3 cigarettes, smoked all my pipeweed now.
I think if I was with the Sealed Knot I'd be GUZZLING ale & BONFIRING pipeweed

Happy birthday Dan! Sounds like it was a good night!

Yorktown sprinkled with some perique I grabbed from tinderbox.

I really like this perique: its musty and kind of “off” smelling, but in a really good way.

Trying to sleuth my way towards what they sourced, but I am guessing its C&D? Seems like the a readily available blending perique…

Match Elizabethan in a Falcon.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a sandblasted medium bend 1950s Reuben era Charatan Deluxe 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Real old Full Virginia Flake in a Butz Choquin Ultima. The cicadas and tree frogs are quite loud here in Louisiana tonight, the junebugs are bouncing off my bald head, but no mosquitos. A beautiful evening on the front porch.

 

[Steddy]

GL Pease Cumberland in a Chacom.
Gawith Rich Dark Honey Dew or Spring Dew, or something like that. A little Meer I got for Lakelands. Watched the Phillies-Braves game.

 

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a straight smooth brown 1950s Comoy’s Tradition 305 apple military mount with a sterling silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Another bowl of aged FVF in my funky meer. I love this pipe. It's a unique shape, it's a great smoker, and you can tell from the lack of coloration that I don't smoke it nearly often enough. I don't know why!

 

[JimInks]

Near the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a late '80s, early 90s small bend medium brown smooth, unbranded Nording pot with a couple of small rusticated spots, an amber colored acrylic ferrule and tapered stem in the military mount style. Tomato the Brave ate and left. Daisy the Feral Princess just came in. Harry the Hairy hasn't left since he came in late this morning. He's wanting to be inside more often than before. Abner the Eager left an hour ago. I'm still here.

I really have been enjoying the Ellipsis flake.

 

[telescopes]

Stanwell with White Knight. Why a churchwarden when traveling? I t requires one to stop moving and enjoy the journey. I always bring at least one. I am close to the Trastevere area of Rome. Funky neighborhoods and still close enough to walk every place I wish to. While not my first visit to Rome, nor my last, this whole trip is more about resting in place rather than chasing the moon.

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of year 2018 D&R Raccoon’s Accent in a pre-WWII straight smooth brown The Lumberman Special (Comoy’s) with a tapered black vulcanite saddle stem.

 

[kcmontie]

Relaxing after a wonderful giant porterhouse steak with a small baked potato and mac' and cheese dinner. Dessert was two big slices of lemon blueberry cake and a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream. I'm smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight 1960s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. A bottle of Boylan's Birch Beer is my drink. It's too durn humid for coffee tonight. Watching the Braves-Phillies game with Sleepy Suzy by my side. The storm stopped a while ago, and Daisy the Feral Princess wanted out. So did Tomato the Brave, but he came back in about fifteen minutes ago, ate, and is getting a brushing from m'lady. Abner the Eager has snoozed all day and evening under the kitchen table. Harry the Hairy has done the same, except he's stayed in the bathroom.
