Close to finishing this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Going through the fifty pipes of David's and figuring out dates, and makers on some. The Dunhill billiard is from 1923.

Thank you! It was sad that this place that was very dear to many of us was closing, but beautiful to share that moment with so many friends, which helped transform the occasion into something uplifting. The night took a bizarre turn when someone who hadn’t been to the place in ages showed up. He hadn’t even been served anything but water, seemed pleasant and happy initially, but later ended up threatening several people, frightening the girlfriend of one our friends to the point of tears, putting his fists through the reinforced glass window at the front of the bar (and dripped blood everywhere), and ultimately held down on the floor by six cops and taken away.

Those vehicles are awesome. Looks like a fun show

What a debacle on such a wonderful night. Anyway you guys have so much to look forward to now and I doubt anyone could cast a shadow on the evening.
Jeff I love old stuff like that and to see them working and talk to the restorers was quite a privilege.

St. James Flake in a Wessex Canadian.

Oliva second Torp. I took a chance on these because I believe the only Oliva Torp is a Melanio. They sure taste like they are. Great $3 smoke. Wish I’d have bought 6 bundles.

Now smoking year 2020 H&H Chatham Manor in a straight black sandblasted, smooth dark brown top bowl 2021 Jim Brown stack bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Abner the Eager showed up. I bought him in, and he's eating.

I put an ounce of #7 away to calm down about a year ago, had two smokes of it so far. I know exactly what you mean!

My #7 Broken Flake has been stowed away in a jar since 2016 and it's still a rose geranium bomb, so I wouldn't bet on it calming down anytime within the next decade or so!

Sweet Burley from The Counrty Squire in the brandless apple on the right. The pipe stand and the Buddha were gifts from an old friend who does a lot of fun 3D printing.

Second to the last bowl from this tin of 10 year old C&D Old Grove in an Ashton Old Church XXX sitter.

Lane LL-7 in the Peterson Deluxe System PSB 9s. In the last week or so I've acquired three Deluxe Systems. Why I waited so long to pick one of these up is beyond me. These are amazing pipes. No matter what I throw at them, they keep coming back for more, smoke after smoke after smoke.

 

[VDL_Piper]

Smoking some Devils Run. It's a mix of chocolate truffle, cigar leaf plus espresso and I'm smoking it in a little Asters Meer.

[dottlejockey]

After a nice T-bone steak and a couple glasses of a decent Toscano, i'm ready for a hearty bowl of Toscano Maestro Puccini (in a Kevin Arthur nose warmer). Just fits the bill here...

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
