Did a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Harry the Hairy stood driveway guard. Tomato the Brave did his hide and pounce on Jim's feet three times, and Daisy the Feral Princess guarded the deck steps. Abner the Eager is snoozin' on the couch.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am enjoying my usual after lunch smoke: 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. Gold Star Peruvian Macchu Picchu, neat, is my drink. Have enough left in the bag for a couple of cups. Watching the Guardians-Twins game with Sleepy Suzy by my side. She's fascinated by how I eat because she watches every bite I take.

At the half way mark of this bowl of year 2021 unreleased Sutliff Black Virginia Flake in a late 80's, early 90s James Upshall P DS Tilshead England Made By Hand L185 Canadian with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Molly Danger came out of the bedroom, which is a rare event as she was so terrified by Sam the Scamp and her scampers, and the other ferals. She wanted to eat, and so did Abner the Eager when he saw that I was giving Molly and Sleepy Suzy wet food. It took me two "catch and release Abner to the couch" efforts before I realized what he wanted. He's eating dry food there, now, while my girls are eating in the kitchen. I'm keeping a close eye on the proceedings.

Speaking of Sam the Scamp, I finally got a photo of her today from her current owner. She certainly has gained a lot of weight.

Sometimes a boy from Bug Tussle sees all the pipes that learned and published Professors own that might have been selected by Lord (soon to be Baron) Inverchapel in 1946 when he left his shockingly young and ravishingly beautiful rich Chilean aristocrat wife Lady (later Baroness) Maria Teresa Dia Salas Lira go shopping while he bought two of the finest London made $15 pipes in Idaho.

Jealousy is a false mistress, and envy was the motive for the first slaying of our brother. Yet every so often I am despite my buckets full of better pipes that Baron Archibald John Clark Kerr could dream of made of ancient, oil cured, aged, unstained, unvarnished, and unpainted Pre 54 Algerian briar by The Seven Carvers supervised by Louis Cowan at Bob and Helen Marx’s New York City works and crippled soldiers laboring at Bertram’s in the shadow of the Capitol dome at the District of Columbia, I get a jealous heart.


So I rummage through my buckets and smoke my NOT FOR SALE White Spot Giant Wellington with an oval shank with water well and specially drilled condensing chamber in the stem full of Autumn Evening.

I can guarantee this is one pipe that was never retailed as a Dunhill, beyond any doubt.

Until another one turns up, I’d reckon this is a lunch box special.

( Here Charles, the button is bad on this one)

Here’s to you, First Baron of Inverchapel, wherever you are in heaven.

He wore really nice suits, you know?
