hello gord, it was a great time. i'm more of a snap shot on game than clays. still I enjoy several rounds a year. i shoot with open choked SxSs or an auto loader choked open (skeet) so i'm at quite a disadvantage on longer shots. don't really worry about it, just enjoy the company and courseEnvy your round of shooting clays. It's a great shooting game, I think the most fun of the clay sports. But . . . just not a moving target guy, lol. Have a venerable old Ithaca 12, which ejects from the bottom. Good gun, and yeah, I've hit a reasonable few ducks or clays, but birds of any kind, feathered or clay, stand a very significant chance of getting through unruffled with me pulling the trigger on a scattergun. But woe betide them if they're sitting still in a puddle, a gravel roadside, or on a branch and I have my .22 CZ Scout handy
I also love a CZ .22 and regret selling my 452
regards
A most interesting pair of afternoon smokes. Started off with the break-in 3rd smoke with my new Mr. Brog Nosewarmer. Three bowls of Smoker's Pride Whiskey Tobacco has done the trick . . . varnish all gone, nice and dull black inside and ready for some Cavendish. But, wait. Ya know, the smoke was the most delightful I've had in about a month, and I may just repeat it a couple of times. Whiskey all the way though, a bit muted, yeah, but okay!
The second smoke was totally unplanned. I pulled out a smallish Kwiki Grape, which was the intended smoke and a flavoured cigar I rather like. (One shown in the picture.) Like often happens with cheaper, machine made and cello-wrapped cigars, though, the wrapping leaf came unravelled. Rather than doing the same, I just bust it open fully into a clean ashtray, separated the tobacco, and stuffed half of it into the entry level Brigham Tundra 047S.
This pipe, as I mentioned about a week ago, survived the givaway to friends cut because it is has shown on several occasions that it likes a half-bowl better than anything else I own. Plus it has a great draw, and so it stayed. Earned it's position as a jack-of-all trades by proving itself today. The Kwiki Grape, if anything, tasted better in the pipe than it does as a cigar. Smooth, believe it or not, and lasted a full 25 minutes, with only the last 5 minutes a bit tasteless and chalky, like the cigar itself. I usually don't smoke the last inch or so of a stogey.
And I have another full bowl of grape cigar tobacco to load into the pipe probably for tomorrow. Not a bad discovery! Tonights smoke will be as planned - the third break in smoke for my new Ropp J06, with Smokers' Pride Whiskey.

Just finished smoking first production Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead in a well appreciated medium bend, smooth brown 1950s Peterson 999 Dublin chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Now smoking year 2012 Virginia Spice in a 1979 brown grain etched Lane Era Charatan's Make medium bend calabash shape 483DC with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. The Yankees-Mets game starts after the top of the hour on ESPN.
Early Sunday evening pipe. I’m too lazy to clean a bunch of pipes. I usually smoke a cob first thing and then the same briar for the rest of the day. Savinelli Oscar Tiger with SWRA. Iced tea.
Love that tapered p-lip! It looks like a very comfortable smoker. I like the p-lips on my old Petersons more than my newer ones.
LBE-TP+BG0200 in a small Billiard.
I dislike P&C labels/naming, I know it's a Lane tobacco, but I can't remember which one...

That is a well loved cob.

Man, that meal sounds delicious. Cool pipe and I don't think I have seen one like it.
