Listing this early so I can concentrate on work for a while: MacBaren Modern Virginia Flake in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Part way through this bowl of MacBaren Virginia Flake in a late '90s half smooth/half etched freehand sitter, medium bend Nielsen Viggo with a pearl brown acrylic stem. Taking a short work break to stretch the legs and feed Suzy. Molly's snoozin' in the other studio chair.
Finished work, enjoyed a tasty snack, and am now smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite stem.
Solani Aged Burley Flake (2013 - from the Retirement Cache) in a Pre-Rep Peterson "Flat Grip". This is a great blend and I find myself swithering as to whether I prefer it over ODF (a tie, probably)
I just set fire to a bowl of GLP Embarcadero in a Don Warren freehand sitter with a plateau rim and butterscotch acrylic stem. I’m drinking black coffee and reading ‘Alexander Hamilton’ by Ron Chernow.
Just finishing this bowl of 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.
Now smoking the venerated Edgeworth Slices in a 1984 medium bend black grain etched Savinelli Non Pareil 9310 poker with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem. Have enough for most of a bowl. A bottle of Cheerwine made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Busy day so far.
