Starting off my smoking day with HU Directors Cut in a smooth straight Lane era 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 stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. A bottle of Grape Nehi made with cane sugar is my drink.
Freshly blended ,approx. 2 oz. or so total....C&D Dark Burley, Izmir, granulated perique, Va Flake and a nice touch of McClelland's Latakia, in my Grabow/Linkman's straight Rhodesian Supreme Bruyere.
Just finishing this bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem.
Now smoking 2001 Luxury Flake Twist in a 1970s slight bend smooth Danish Sovereign XXX 309 with a flat front sitter with a black vulcanite stem. Have enough left for one more bowl. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink.
Now smoking D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Canadian Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 with a black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.
Half way through this bowl of the best durn tobacco made today: Strang in a 2003 smooth medium bent straight grain Ardor Venere Extra signed by Dorelio Rovera Dublin with a black acrylic stem.
A third of the way through this bowl of circa 1970 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite stem.
