One of our favorite beers!
Just finished smoking year 2012 E-soterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown 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. Been chatting with the fella who gifted me the pipe.
Are you putting some food and water out?
I threw him a peanut on the first day, he wasn't interested in water.
I left a pile of peanuts out and made sure he saw it before I went inside. I saw birds eating them this afternoon.
My friend informed me that his mom rehabilitates squirrels, and sent me a few food ideas to try: different nuts, avacado, and other things I don't have on hand.
I think I saw the squirrel today but I needed more computer screen space than just my laptop. So I worked from my desk indoors rather than the garage (aka I was not able to be in position to meet today).
If the squirrel approaches again, I'll likely put it in its own thread.
I picked up a tin of SG Bothy Flake on a recent work trip to Italy. Didn’t quite know what I was getting. Cracked it open this morning. Wow, this is some good stuff!
I originally wanted to get one of these pipes from Former, then I read they are from pre made stummels.
They are still nicer lookers, I was just saddened to read they weren’t all made by hand from him.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am half way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.

Last smoke of the day is Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. Time to feed the ferals, and my cats.
Waking up with a bowl of CS UPCA 2023 burley in a Hendon billiard.
Virginia Jazz in a Ferndown, first bowl of the day
The few times I’ve had Brother Thelonius on tap I’ve loved it (and preferred it to the bottled version).
Bold KY in my new to me Savinelli 207 that I bought on here.
Last smoke before starting work, 2018 Dunbar in a Ferndown 2 star tomatoish pipe. The starring system, 1 through 4, is supposed to represent size, not sure if that means bowl or general pipe size, but 1 stars are big! This isn’t that much bigger than a 1 star.
Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
Morning smoke, MB 7 Seas in a MM Hardwood.

I retired at 63 two years ago. I knew myself well enough to know I need routine. I walk 7,000 steps first thing. Next I prepare breakfast for She Who Is Beautiful and Dobby the devil dog. Then it’s time for, you know! Black coffee, burley, cob.
