Beautiful pipe, full of character, like it came out of an older Disney movie.

Peterson System Pipe Numerical Smoke~Off continued:
So... after 17 comes 18- the D18, which is the shape of the Peterson Pub Pipe. This is a Deluxe System pipe with the Patented Peterson System. It is a large bowl & can be smoked for a long time, or just do a gravity fill and it won't last for hors, but still a good while. I took my rusticated pipe and 'modified' to set on its own for breaks while reading or doing other things. It smoke so great & I love this pipe!
In it I am smoking a homemade blend I call "1st Press" (clever, no?)
Behind it are two tobacco presses which I got from UpArrow. They work very well & I am delighted to have them.
You can read more about my PubSetter below & about the tobacco presses.

Been at Tribe in Holmesfield again today for Introduction to Bushcraft. We've been identifying woodland plants, shelter building, tying knots and firelighting. I had a go at flint & steel / bow drill firelighting and when I eventually got a fore going I celebrated by lighting my Pollock clay of Ennerdale Flake with the fire tinder. No matches or lighter involved! Been sawing logs this evening; got 2 bags of firewood ready for Jane tomorrow.
Here's a photo of me with the bucksaw I made:

One of the Tribe staff was making a carved wooden sword; it looks great and I've asked him to bring it to show me when it's finished!
Smoked all my pipe baccy now!

Drying a generous fistful pinch of Ashton Winding Road, to go in a Savinelli Tortuga 614 faux-Hungarian. A little bit spent after a day of work on the property, but the cloud cover and cool temperature made it somewhat tolerable. Going back and forth between the charcoal and balsa filters on all my Savs--so far, I seem to be favoring the balsas, but we'll see.
Bird report: California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, Common raven, California towhee, Mountain chickadee, and Mourning dove.
Now eyeing the Brobdingnagian bottle of Johnnie Walker Red in my kitchen with anticipation...

Working the lawn tractor hard today and it has specified a mandatory break (too hot)...so a refreshing beverage with some Peretti Crown/Peretti Ebony mixture (provisionally called 'Blackadder') in a Ropp Superior Algerian bulldog.
A third of a bowl left of Wilke Red Oriental in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a tapered gold and black swirl acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Braves-Phillies game.
WCC Old Dominion 25th Anniversary Flake in a Meer by H. Ege with an ice cold Stella while. In the pool!
Thanks. It was a lot lighter in color when I first got it. It smokes very nicely.
GL Pease Charing Cross in a Charatan Belvedere Canadian.
St Bruno in a cob. A buddy gave me this can of Tree House “King Julius” that he brought back from Massachusetts, and it’s wonderful too.
Dark Birdseye in a Peterson Derry 68
Yachtsman Plug in my Alden bamboo billiard.
Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a CAO Meerschaum bent egg. Needless to say, I've had this pipe for over 15 years but haven't smoked it very often.
We just finished dinner. Going to have Lane BCA in a Meerschaum lined Brebbia Sun 834 Bent Apple (with Aluminum Tsuge Kulu Cool 9mm Filter/Condenser) on the porch.
Finishing the weekend off with some ‘22 Cringle in my not yet broken in Barling poker. Hope everyone’s weather was as good as Toronto’s!
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, a rack and a half of baby back ribs and snow peas dinner with a small bowl of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. I'm passing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a straight 1924 Dunhill’s “Shell Briar” patent pot 7 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to clean a few pipes.
I can see it! Like if someone pulled it out in 101 Dalmatians or The Sword in the Stone, it would be a perfect fit.
You do love your snow peas!!
