I just set fire to a bowl of 2007 McClelland Black Sea Sokhoum in a sandblasted Brebbia squashed tomato with a tortoise shell acrylic stem. My drink is a Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray on the rocks.
Packed for later, C&D Bayou Night, in a made-for Iwan Ries pipe, but not a stamped house pipe, by Chacom, a green stain straight billiard, which makes a good St. Pat's Day pipe when I'm not smoking my Around-the-World Pete commemorating Ireland. This blend is moist and fluffy, so I'm letting it dry. I may have to pack a little more on top and skip the drying on that.
SWRA from the bottom third of a 12 oz. tub I've had for several months so that it no longer blasts you with it's original tin note, which can be offputting, in a MM Morgan using a modified cobbit stem. Tasty stuff
Back home after visiting friends, and am half through my second 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. A bottle of Sprite is my drink.
Part way through this bowl of MacBaren HH Burley Flake in a 2002 medium bend smooth Rinaldo EGEA 03 Silver line spigot 10 with a black acrylic stem. A can of the almost illegally delicious Hansen's Mandarin Lime soda made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
Now smoking the very delicious year 2001 Dunhill Navy Rolls in a 1984 black sandblasted straight Dunhill Shell 4103 Billiard with a black vulcanite stem.
A few minutes away from smoking Compton’s Macedonian Mixture in a 2003 URAL full bend big bowl egg shaped Lattice meer with a black acrylic stem. Another hot and humid day here.
Now smoking year 2011 F&T Golden Mixture in a 2002 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend freehand sitter and black acrylic stem. Ice tea and bergs is my drink. Watching the Cubs-Giants game.
Part way through this bowl of Amphora Virginia in a brown straight smooth Paul Perri billiard with a black acrylic tapered stem. Ice water and floaty li'l icebergs is my evening drink.
