Passing the half way mark of this 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. M'lady fed our cats, and I fed the ferals except for the still absent Abner the Eager. Got a very late start to the day, and will have another busy one. Watching the O's-Jays game. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
C&D Palmetto Balkan in my Savinelli Tre Rusticated 104. This is from a small sample that a good friend let me have because he wasn’t fond of it. I am rather enjoying it, I have to say. Reminds me positively of Drucquer & Sons Levant Mixture. This might be one of my favorite C&D Balkans. Lighter and easier to handle than Super Balkan. Thanks @oatsmiller !
Did a set of walking reps, and am not far from finishing 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. Harry the Hairy stood driveway guard, and when I came down the street on my last lap, he came up to me for a head scratch. I thought he wanted more food, but he wanted more me instead.
Glorious day, warm and sunny. Weeding and transplanting strawberries for most of it. Then some Black Irish X in the M Elliott of uncertain arboreal origin. 6.5/10. The pipe doesn't like it, for some reason. Cobs and Meers for this stuff in future. I know this is a crap picture, even by my standards. Sorry.
