Did a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Then enjoyed a tasty tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with unsalted peanuts and a golden delicious apple on the side. My drink was a cup of delicious Chinese tea.

Outdoor Hiking in an L Wood. This pipe was cherished by the previous owner, I think he had a problem with scorching rims, I have gotten a few pipes from him. If I remove the rim char it means removing more wood, restain, etc. I may just keep the char. 😂

Is it definitely char? Sometimes it might be a thin layer of lava build up that can be removed with saliva.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching the Braves-Mariners game until zoom time, and I'll DVR the rest of the game. Have cleaned seven estate pipes, and am still working on two others that are stubbornly ghosted.

GH&Co. Irish X black rope cut, in a MM bent hardwood apple with a nickel band and a forest green stem, named after Zenon Trudeau, first lieutenant governor of the territory part of which became the State of Missouri where MM is located.

Helping my wife get off to her book group with four pints of blueberry ice cream, since they no longer sell it by the quart, and by phone, helping get my sister off to her teaching gig in Door County Wisconsin, a neat annual event attended by some of the same people year after year.

What do ya think of that old KC?
Very interesting codger blend! I'm not really a burley guy, but this has something quasi-exotic going on... Internet tells me coffee, but I feel like I'm getting something almost like Moroccan spice... But since no reviews say anything like that, that says more about me than about the tobacco ;-) In any case it's pretty darn cool to smoke a 60 yo tobacco!
