Harmony in a Peterson's Irish Army pipe. Listening to BBC World Service on Dot.
Newminster 400 Superior Navy Flake in a Twain.
Synjeco Clegir Rope in a Ben Wade Selected Grain with some hot yerba mate tea. Waking up early for a relaxing smoke before the toddler wakes up puts a positive first impression on the day.
PS LNF on the porch swing with my morning coffee.
SG FVF in a 1917 Bewlay “Olde 49” Billiard.
Recent talk about Peterson pipes got me thinking about these two oversize Petes that I thought I would share.
Unable to date pipe No. 2 accurately as can't find any dating source for the stamp "CLUNE LIMERICK" on the shank:-
1) PETERSON'S SYSTEM 2 and IRISH FREE STATE stamped on the shank . . . K&P PETERSON DUBLIN stamped on the silver mount with date stamp for 1924.
Peterson shop label in the bowl pricing the pipe @13 shillings 6 pence (20 shillings to the pound).
Irish Free State - 1922 - 1937
2) PETERSON'S DUBLIN 4 and CLUNE LIMERICK stamped on the shank . . . K&P PETERSON'S PATENT stamped on the nickel army mount ... no stamp on the bowl furniture.
Patent Period - 1891 - c.1915
Oversize pipes sitting in the only pipe rests I've got that fit - mid 1980s Savinelli 'Egg' rest available also in black, dark brown and mustard.

Up early again on a cold, continually rainy day. A third of the way through this bowl of Sutliff Prince Albert Match in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite tapered stem. I'm doing a ghost check on this pipe. I think I got all the deer tongue out finally.
2008 Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented in a GBD Conquest pedigree.
2011 Dan tobacco's hamborg veermaster in a "Castello" zulu.
Half way through this bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Finished a bowl of Barbary Coast, keeping the GL Pease train going with Penny Farthing in my Dave Neeb
Part way through the last of this tin of GLP Piccadilly in a 1978 slight bend CAO Turk's Head Meer with a yellow cream swirl acrylic tapered stem.
Sillems Black, two years, in Stanwell Balon 571
Packed last night for soon today, C&D Tuggle Hall in a Johs bent Dublin with a rakish cut to its brim and notably light briar. Always glad to see this blend and pipe come around in rotation.
