***What Are You Smoking, May 2021?***

[hairvise]

Back up in the Sierras here in Northern California, enjoying yet another pipe of Wessex campaign in this 9 mm pipe from Germany that my wife brought me back. It’s my first 9 mm pipe, and I can’t say I notice any loss of taste while using the charcoal filter.

Sitting on my mother’s porch having C&D Autumn Evening in my MM bent Country Gentleman. Tomorrow we will lay to rest my stepdad who lived 84 full years. It’s been a rough weekend.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. Since dat Eddie Rob'nson fella is star'ng in dis movie "Our Vines Have Tender Grapes," I'ma smokin' circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli Hand Made flat bottom sitter with a square shank and a black vulcanite saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat is my drink, see! Myeah!

I am not sure if it's double stamped and I have not been able to find the date codes for it. I would be interested in learning more. Thanks.
Also the amber stem is very fragile as @jiminks was saying earlier so I may wrap it with vinyl tape when I smoke it again.

Your wife has good taste. Stout, yet elegant. I like it.

Yes, your picture above definitely looks like an after market customization. I found information on TOBACCONISTS, PIPE MAKERS AND MOUNTERS HALLMARKS: J - http://www.silvercollection.it/DICTIONARYTOBACCONISTJ.html

It seems that it may have been the initials if the importer of the pipe. Either way thanks for the information, it appreciated.

Birdwatching time again! Balkan Sasieni in my newly acquired Savinelli Miele 611 KS bent dublin. I freaking love this pipe. I also have a Miele brand vacuum cleaner, but that's a story unto itself...

Even though it looks a bit like pressed amber that variegated honey colour is really awesome and truly gives your pipe a classy look.


The only other pipe I've seen with a similar looking stem is the Ser Jacopo but that stem looks like it's made up of bits from a brain:-


Speaking of Miele: they make the best and most reliable appliances . . . not wishing to put a jinx on it but we've had a Miele washing machine and dryer since 2002.

You've inspired me! Going to watch Cincinnati Kid tonight. I'll picture this Sav when EGR shows his Queen-high straight flush to Steve "Asbestos Lungs" McQueen. Enjoy!

It does look a little brainy. Love the look of both, though. Ironically, I'm quite scared of bees... ?

Thanks! That's a great movie. Robinson said that character was the closest to his real self of any of his movie roles. As for the Sav, I smoke EGR in that one when I want to spend more time with the blend than the squashed tomato allows me.
