***What Are You Smoking, May 2023?***

:: Peterson System Pipe Numerical Smoke~Off continued:
The 308 was discontinued in 1960. It had at it's beginning in the late 1800's been referred to as shape 14 with a few choices of stems. The Peterson Pipe of the Year (POY22) was this 308 shape referenced by its older 1890's title- the 14B. Reading of "Codger Challenges" etc.. I filled some Half & Half in the bowl of my Rusticated 308 / 14B favored by the USA's first global literary giant. Samuel Clemens, who I might add first began to use his more familiar pen name of Mark Twain in Nevada, not too far from here in both Virginia City & Carson City. His adventures here can be read in his book "Roughing It".
be well...

Well my dumb ass fell in the pool tonight while brushing it down. So I'm doing the only logical thing which is to load my trusty pool meerschaum with some Devil's Holiday and a pool glass with some A. de Fussigny Superior Cognac and head for the hot tub!

Yeah. I love it! That and fishing on a creek are the most relaxing things in my life. I also love building my own arrows. Very satisfying. I use a Bear Kodiak, 40# (in the pic), a Bear Grizzly recurve 45#, and a St Charles Osage Orange Longbow, 45#. Not sure I could choose a favorite. I love em all. But the longbow was a custom build, for my own specifications. So I am rather partial to it.

I have an arrow signed by Glen St. Charles. Have you read his book, Bows on the Little Delta?

Have a nice #50 breakdown recurve from Robertson Stykbow outa Montana.
And a locally made #40 Longbow.
