Germain's BK Flake in a Rattray's Marlin
I’ll join the Peterson club by loading up this new Peterson Christmas 2024 pipe with some Quiet Nights!
Now smoking year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem.
If by “regular” you mean “less likely to go off on idiots at the drop of a hat”, I wholeheartedly concur!
I thank you for the big compliment. I'd like to see that pipe if you can manage it.
I’ve found the sliced brown and black twists that I’ve gotten recently smoke well as received.
I should have let it dry, but it was a "I looked at the cellar and instinct smoke!!!" Dry time needed. So I lit it a few times and put it down I will pick it up in a bit.
I prefer the brown irish twist aro...... I got a 250g box im looking to trade towards some dark twist aro in the future.
HU Directors Cut in a Nuttens Bing and Peppermint Tea on the side.
I so should’ve grabbed a SPD25 53Nørding Pointer in a Pete SPD 53
2020 Tinderbox Crisp Apple in my Comoy 80 Pebble Grain bulldog.
its a beauty I got an older model (which is smaller unsmoked, simply beautiful!!!)
Relaxing with a couple bowls after a long day and a lot of driving. C&D Bijou, followed by Krater-Plug in an Ahmet Govem commission.
This is a sharp (good) look, with the black turtleneck and glasses and the Pipe's colors. I've heard from a few old timers that some thought would go into, for example, which pipe for a given occasion like Senior pictures
I smoked my Peterson today too. A short 264 with Escudo
Eire
About to light up my Peterson Sherlock Holmes Deerstalker with some Mac Baren HH Highland Blend with a Quilters Irish Death Ale from Iron Horse Brewery.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking aged Rattrays Hal O’ The Wynd in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII (Comoy’s) Corinthian De-Luxe 126 pot made for Sutliff in San Francisco with a black tapered vulcanite stem.
Nice picture, great looking spigot
Running Escudo in my Short 264 again, couple small cigars in between the morning pipe and this one
The second you put on this fit you immediately started giving a Ted Talk and your net worth shot up 20 million dollars.
Having Daughters & Ryan Three Sails British style Virginia in the smaller of the two Japanese nobe-kiseru pipes from my 2025 Birthday Haul—this is the plain, undecorated one (the other is decorated with a dragon motif). A nobe-kiseru pipe is a single piece of metal, and much less common than rau kiseru (made with three pieces—two metal ends, usually connected by bamboo). This cast iron pipe could be from the earlier or middle part of the Edo period (1603–1868), but there’s no way of really knowing; it is much bulkier and cruder than most kiseru pipes, which often look elegant (this makes me think it’s from an earlier part of the period). This one measures about 7.5" in length (the dragon motif one, about 8.0"); it’s not as long as most kenka-kiseru (fighting pipes) which would normally fall in the 12.0"–18.0" range, but it is entirely possible that it was used for eye gouging and could have been a fighting pipe.
We made some progress on the attic and got about 90% of the boards back in place and screwed down. Some needed blocks of wood to be sistered to the wood underneath in order to have something to screw the boards into; the electrician that started the job a few years ago cut the boards, but not always in spots where they could easily be remounted with support. The Honeycomb Hideout is one step closer to being ready.
For Saint Patrick’s Day, Susan made corned beef and cabbage with potatoes. It was yummy.
This morning, Susan got some sad news. A dear friend of hers in Florida succumbed to ALS last night. While not unexpected, it was sooner than we thought.
