Starting off my smoking day early with a bowl of year 2024 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 in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink. The only feral around is Daisy the Feral Princess. She, and my cats were fed by m'lady.

Getting ready to enjoy this KBV Moriarty in a Kaywoodie Canadian. just noticed I've been rebranded from "lurker" to "might stick around". Feels like a "That's what she said" is appropriate.

Nice looking pipe . . . understated and classy. Yeah, getting rebranded is initially a bit exciting. But I'm afraid of the next couple of steps now cuz I'm still an ignorant moron. Not kidding! But congratulations anyway, Chief! 👍👍

Did a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Tomato the Brave did a little walking with me, and when he didn't, he'd wait under a car, and jump at me when I would pass by. He loves being outdoors. Harry the Hairy stood driveway guard, and just stared at Tomato. No Abner the Eager so far.

Of course the first time I try this tasty cocoa treat (In the ole comfy Boswell warden) is when it's darn near gone forever.... Been awhile since I tried the Prince but if memory serves, the Duke outranks handily... gonna have to circle back and possibly snag a few more pounds before last call haha
Hope everyone is having a splendid start to their days of rest✌️

Striking pipe. Don't think I've seen that one before. Like it.

Yeah, a lot of great tobaccos disappearing. My buddy Mike has about the best comparison to other similar scenarios I've heard so far . . . . he compares it to drinking and collecting wines, and says that when you collect a vintage, "you either drink it, sell it, store it to increase it's value, but then you might die in the process. So let's smoke it." Wise words. I always listen to Mike cuz he is almost totally deaf and doesn't say much, so imho he's about the best company one can have. When he does it's always worth listening to! 😄

Question here - we see so many wonderful pipes here it's hard to keep track. Now I know you have a few (probably many) meers, but I'm not sure I've seen this one before. It's the stem, which is a beautiful wine red, but the bowl looks familiar. Is it the lighting, interchangeable with another, or what? Enquiring minds want to know. Whatever the case, certainly a handsome outfit! puffy 👍

Well I’m not yet in a self initiated conflagration yet hahaha and I’m 2/3rds through this bowl. Luckily, my SO will probably give me a good kick if I do.
Hmmmm . . . your comment for me is reflective. I have two significant gems in my past that cause regrets that I never married. I wanted to do what I want, when I wanted, and how I wanted, and so I did. And they exited, stage right.

And have had a grand life. However, once in a while, those memories still surface. I think your post has eliminated the regrets. Thank you. :LOL:

Hmmmmm . . . . unless like some pipes, they are so severely ghosted that it's a permanent factor. :rolleyes:
