Did a set of walking reps, and am near the finish of this 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 kept coming up to me when I got near the house, and followed me inside for more food.

7 straight days playing golf in Biloxi. I won our little group tournament today by a substantial margin! Trophy and $500. Smoking a bowl of Sir John’s Flake Virginia in an Altinok on the trip home.

Congratulations! Great to see a guy out there doing something he loves well in his retirement (?) years, and doing it to a high standard. Bravo! I played a bit of golf too, but gave it up when I realized I didn't need another obsession, especially when my violin teacher at university put the situation to me in an entirely different manner. :rolleyes:

Potted up a few dozen experimental new potato plant varieties in the greenhouse, then lit a bowl of MacBaren's Old Dark Fired in the Jambo African Meerschaum Zulu. 9/10. Has the widest shank and airway I ever saw. Makes cake or shag taste like fresh air, but really nice for a moist flake just folded and stuffed in straight out of the tin.

Interesting post. I'm finding increasingly each pipe must be treated differently, and your comments reinforced this point to me very well. Thanks!

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Peru Penachi Fair Trade Organic, neat, is my drink. Getting ready to load the dishwasher before checking on the estate pipes that I have been cleaning. After this smoke, I'll start reviewing the Rivertown series.
