Newminster Superior Round Slices in a cob.
Solani Aged Burley Flake in a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Baker Street
Albert has been busy writing comics for Bazooka Joe.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm almost half way through this bowl of year 2018 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. El Salvador Dali, neat, is my drink.
It is a production pipe designed by Tracy Mincer that was manufactured by the National Briar Pipe Company starting in the early 50's. This one is sooo chucky that it would have been on the cooler side anyway. I have another in a billiard shape that has the three rings and vertical drilled holes that probably does help it to be a cooler smoke on the fingers anyway.
Peterson's LUXURY BLEND + group 4 Dunhill 'Oval Stem Billiard from 1975:-
A shape that has stood the test of time -
alongside a BBB from 1890 ...
(The triple Bs = Blumfeld's Best Briars from inception until 1928 after which date the company became known as Britain's Best Briars)
... with L.B ferrule (Louis Blumfeld trading as Adolph Frankau & Co. Ltd. from 1848 at Queen Victoria Street, London / in business until the 15th June 1937)

It's all relative after all.
Carter Hall in a MM cob. Was rolling on 17 headed to North Myrtle Beach and passed a Smoker Friendly. Figured I didn't have anything to lose so I did a U turn and pulled in. The first thing I saw when entering was a 14 oz container of Carter Hall sitting beside a 14 oz container of Prince Albert. Got both for $64.00 out the door. Opened the Carter Hall this afternoon but still have the plastic on the PA.
Bayou Morning in an MM Huck Finn. Reading Timothy Keller on prayer. Drinking some unethical coffee.
Watch city vanilla in a Lorenzo Esperia Canadian . Leg of lamb on the grill. Nice evening
