I’m about halfway through a bowl of Solani 660 Silver Flake in a Savinelli Chiara prince. I’m studying for this evening’s final exam. I got a 92 on my midterm, so the pressure is on to beat that.
Packed for later today, Tabac-Manil Semois (Belgium burley variant) medium cut in a Johs bent freehand with plateau on brim and shank, Christmas present from 2010 from my wife, a classic Danish freehand tomahawk
Starting off my smoking day with Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1980s black sandblasted slight bend Savory’s Argyll 281 Cherrywood with a black vulcanite stem. Simply Orange is my drink. Watching M*A*S*H.
Now smoking Edgeworth Cavendish Rich Aromatic (Gold) in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black vulcanite stem.
Not far from finishing this bowl of D&R Two Timer Gold in a smooth full bend 1977 Crown Coachman 215 egg with a black vulcanite stem. Lunch will be next. A can of the unworldly delicious Hansen's Mandarin Lime soda made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
A quarter of the way through an amazing treat. Seattle Pipe Club blender Joe Lankford’s home brewed Mississippi River with yenidje in a 1990s smooth Peterson Captain Pete XL80 bulldog with a black vulcanite stem and p-lip. Joe was kind enough to send me a big brick of it using 15 year old McClelland tobaccos. It sure is incredible.
Now smoking Sam Gawith Lakeland Dark in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a tortoise shell stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink. I hear thunder storms outside, so we'll get some rain.
Almost half way through this bowl of Edgeworth Slices in a 1984 medium bend black grain etched Savinelli Non Pareil 9310 poker with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem.
