I’m generally not a bulldog guy but that is a very attractive pipe. The Obama is definitely a good idea too.

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with this one. The Obama is going down well as well. ?

My youngest daughter graduates Magna Cum Laude from Missouri State University in about 1 hour. I am getting set to watch the live stream here in FL. I brought out some Sutliff Cringle Flake 2020 to smoke in the Mark Tinsky 1-Star Bent Pot for the occasion. Of course, I would rather be there but, the damn pandemic restricted her guests to 4 and her mother, boyfriend, and 2 of her sisters lived much closer. She has been accepted at UCONN, where she will be pursuing a masters degree in Higher Education and Student Affairs. She has, also, been awarded a Graduate Assistantship in the Center for Fraternity & Sorority Development. I guess, you can see that I am proud?

Congrats to you and your daughter, that’s a heck of an achievement, who wouldn’t be proud of that. ?‍?️?

Afternoon everyone, I just got in from having a poke around some local antique/charity shops and found this lovely handmade Stanwell for only £10. It’s been very carefully smoked by the looks of it but I’m not sure what shape it comes under, the stem is oval and quite broad and it has a rounded rim to the bowl. Anyway I’m gonna fire up some Star of the East and see how she handles.

Gawith, Hogarth & Co. Conniston Cut Plug in a Peterson Newgrange 107. I prefer the base tobaccos in Dark Flake but prefer the added flavorings of Conniston to the Dark Flake Scented/Aromatic. I enjoy the perfume

That is wonderful. Student Affairs is a totally admirable career as well, IMO.

I stand corrected. ‘Summa’ Cum Laude. I underestimated her?.

After a little research on the amazing pipedia I have found that this shape #75 is a freehand by Sixten Ivarsson, I haven’t been able to put a date on it and probably won’t but it smokes like a dream and that’s what matters in the long run. This is the same shop I found my two 1921 Masta’s and a 69 Donegal Rocky among others so it’s a great resource for me. There’s a strange looking DrPlum in there which I might go back for tomorrow.
Having some Germain’s Plum Cake in the li’l Lovat at the moment.

Gonna have a bowl of Rouxgaroux on the way to work

Not far from finishing this bowl of circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink on this very lovely, temperate day. Time for Mad Dog Russo while I wait on important "hate mail".

 

[JimInks]

I hope you got two stems with that?

I know whatcha mean. It is a clencher, lighter than expected when I got it. And a really good smoker.

Just had a half bowl of Reiner Long Golden Flake after lunch, will finish it later after the workday is done. I didn't expect the burley and perique to be so noticeable as this is my first bowl of it. Was hoping for more virginia prominence than what it has offered so far.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 111 in a smooth medium bend 1950s Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a nickel band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.

Peterson 1865 in a GL pipe (made in Greece by the carver and friend George Leousis). Tamper by the same.
Just started reading "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt. It is obvious, even from the first pages, that this i a great book.
Let us have a nice weekend good people.
