Redglow: not that I’m much of a baseball fan, but the Tigers are pathetic

 

[krizzose]

Stokkebye Norwegian in a cob. My first bowl of this blend

 

[redglow]

Krizzose, you got that right. The water is swirling clockwise and picking up speed.
They started out well. Injuries killed their pitching staff early. That combined with Zero offense and the plummet began.
Oh well. This PS Luxury Navy Flake is definitely diverting my attention quite nicely! Absolutely amazing! ::

[JimInks]

Not far from finishing this bowl of C&D Burley Ribbon Cut in a 1970s slight bend black sandblasted Comoy's Silver Cloud 624 sitter with a silver pearl gray acrylic stem.
Krizzose: The Orioles and Marlins are worse. Triple A teams could beat them.

 

[JimInks]

A minute or so away from smoking Dunhill Elizabethan Match in my trusty 1970s smooth three quarter bend Peterson System Standard 305 with a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Working and listening to the Padres-Pirates game.

Cornell & Diehl: Billy Budd in a Meer...

 

[JimInks]

About a quarter of a bowl left of Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a smooth 1976 Canadian GBD Seventy Six 256 with a black vulcanite stem. Taking a short work break.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2012 FVF in a black straight, grain etched family era (Post WW2) 4 Dot Sasieni “Appleby” apple with a tapered vulcanite stem. Going back to work.

 

[JimInks]

Not far from finishing this bowl of Jim's Va/Bur in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Did a little snacking and am now smoking year 1999 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a 2015 Basil Meadows black sandblasted billiard with an aluminum band and a pearl red acrylic tapered stem. Have a little more work to do.

 

[newbroom]

Just finished lunting with a bowl of a mixture of Windsail/C&D perique, and TwoTimer in a straight smooth apple with a tapered and very clenchable vulchanite stem and a sterling silver band.

I acquired 3 MasterCraft pipes via pipe rack auctions, cleaned then up and really enjoy their smokeability.

The other two are half bent's.

 

[JimInks]

Last smoke of the day is 1950s Rum & Maple Tobacco Company Rum & Maple Mixture Blend No. 53 in a medium bend egg 2017 Royal Meerschaum Dragon meer with a black and cream swirl amber colored acrylic tapered stem. Watching Ellery Queen.

Wow it’s May 18th and it’s my first bowl of the month. Carter Hall in the Country Gentleman.

Early 1990s vintage Havana Ribbon in an estate Barclay-Rex briar bulldog with diamond shank and saddle bit (the bowl is stamped with a "3"). Havana Ribbon was a custom blend of The Darby Pipe Shop (1945 - 2005) of Mattoon, Illinois, and I purchased it during Larry Kniepkamp's proprietorship of that business. His blend list described this tobacco as, "A superior aromatic smoking mixture. Burleys and Virginias establish the base for this mixture with two Cavendish tobaccos completing it. Mild and light yet flavorful. This mixture burns smooth and clean to the bottom of the bowl. Perfect for the beginner or heavy smoker."
I must add that my Havana Ribbon has aged beautifully, paired well with the Barclay-Rex, and together delivered a delightful smoke.
