5 brothers, Pegasus, in a Falcon, I love this pipe! Coffee and enjoying a book.

Doubling up this evening and will be smoking 2 different blends. One after the other. This will be my first experience with both of these blends. Drying out on the left is some fresh, tinned in august of 2024 Royal Yacht. On the right and also drying is some mostly rubbed out G.L. Pease Ellipsis flake. The newly released blend. The tin note on both is absolutely sublime. Both have that sweet stewed fruit plum note. But the Ellipses is slightly sweeter and more citrus fruity with a flowery bouquet essence as well. Not overwhelmingly sweet at all. But will make the mouth water in anticipation of the flavor awaiting in this beautiful broken flake. Will be Smoking both in this MM legend cob with a brass shank cap and an abnormally dark horn swirl forever stem.

On the menu for commute home was a fine little mixture of 5 brothers and C&D Yorktown loaded in my Peterson Short bulldog.

Hope everyone had a great Friday!

Right hand drive?

Or does the driver let you smoke a pipe on the commute?

Either one of those explanations would be really cool. Unfortunately, I think the front facing camera is just mirrored

Two flakes of PS 400 Luxury Navy Flake folded and stuffed into an oxblood colored Marxman square panel carved Jumbo A size.




The richest man who ever lived, in his Texas mansion with 11 children and three concubines, cannot smoke better than a genuine Pre 54 Marxman pipe.

And he likely has more worries, and less sunshine, than I do.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am not far from finishing this bowl of first production Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a straight smooth brown undated Gesandt Canadian Made in England with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe was originally owned by Poul Schluter, who was the Prime Minister of Denmark from 1982-1993.

Now smoking year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy medium bend 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Smokes as well as a first and worth the $19.95 I paid for it all those years ago.

GLP Cumberland in a Comoy Kings Lane. Nice aperitif to a fun night of music and just like that Savinelli from the last thread I think I've found what sort of blends this pipe likes. Cheers!

The last of some MB Virginia Flake in a Pete SPD 53

Last pipe of a tin is always sad . . . . . that's a nifty pipe to smoke it in, though

2021 Navigator Flake in the Li'l Pete 317.

A very good sunny Friday with enough wind to sail a couple races to kick off the season's club sailing. Now a welcome rain for the patch of lawn I aerated, reseeded and topped with compost a couple days ago.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Mr. Christian’s Brown Flek 2021 in a 1984 smooth brown full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Cleaned the pipes I smoked after the ones I cleaned earlier. Fed all the ferals in relative peace although m'lady had to hold on to Abner the Eager while Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave had their wet food. I had brought Molly Danger to the den a couple of hours ago, and she laid on m'lady's lap until she saw Harry the Hairy. I think he scares her more than the others. Anyway, Abner's the only feral inside and he's snoozin' on the couch. Molly came back to the den a few minutes ago, and she's a bit hyper, so m'lady is playing with her. Sleepy Suzy is still by my side.


Here's Molly playing. She moves so fast that I was lucky to even get a blurred photo.

Thank you, sir.

More Chenet’s, this time in a Kai Nielsen Danish Dublin

Passing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2017 E-soterica Dorchester in a straight smooth dark brown octagonal paneled mid-60s-early 70s Corporate Era Barling 4945 London England T.V.F. billiard with a square shank and black tapered square stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. Harry the Hairy came in to eat, but Molly Danger saw him, and hissed him away. I tried to feed Harry in another room, but the poor fella was too spooked to eat. Molly's in the bedroom now, so I'll tend to Harry soon. Abner the Eager is relaxing near the kitchen. He's not eaten much the past couple of days, and we're starting to wonder if he's okay. Or maybe he's put out because he doesn't get wet food. He certainly is as affectionate as always. Watching the reply of the Orioles-Royals game.
