Now smoking aged Rattrays Hal O’ The Wynd in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII (Comoy’s) Corinthian De-Luxe 126 pot made for Sutliff in San Francisco with a black tapered vulcanite stem. As I opened the back door to take the trash can to the street, Tomato the Brave came running back inside. Standing at the door was the soaking wet Abner the Eager, who was very happy to see me. I let him in, and while I took care of the trash can, m'lady dried Abner off and gave him dry food to eat. He's on top of my chair now.

A third of a bowl left of first production Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a smooth medium bend terracotta Peterson POY 2023 X160 464/1100 military mount egg with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2018 D&R Windsail in a 1990 smooth medium bend Nording freehand sitter with a wider top than bottom that also has a ridge and a narrower bowl resembling an upside down spout, with an amber colored lucite saddle stem with cream swirls. Haven't smoked this pipe in several years.

Watch City Nor’ Easter in a Savinelli. I could see this being a satisfying after dinner type smoke. A little sweet and flavored but not a hot air aromatic.

One of my favorite cobs, mine loves dark fired blends. Enjoy.

Don't think I've seen that one before . . . . terrific little pipe! Looks like a great outdoor clencher.

Love it!

A heavily stained, varnished and painted International Assortment Italian made 3/4 bent basket pipe full of Super Value Black and Gold.

Just popped a 2022 tin of Telegraph Hill. First time trying. In the Paykok lattice brandy glass, and water on the side. Hmm. Not much of any tin note, and seems very muted, I think will need some days to wake up? More than one vaper has behaved that way for me.. Very easy to light and smoke straight out of the tin.

@tfdickson Wow!! is this a new one, don't recall this one. That grain is FABULOUS!

Two smokes - Ended my day yesterday with a good, solid smoke with my L'il Pete, an hour long reverie with one of my new favourites, Magnum Opus. Love smoking this pipe!

Tonight, ended my evening with the new Rhodesian Meer. First smoke. As this pipe has a huge bowl, It'll be stoked with tobaccos I have a lot of, like tonight's Smokers' Pride Vanilla Cavendish, aro codgers and mixed orientals without lat. First smoke in this pipe. I've had mixed results with meers on first break in smokes, this one not bad, but was okay knowing it'll get better.

I like this tobacco, but lost interest in it after about 90 minutes. However, being a vanilla flavoured burley tobacco, sure got a heck of a nic blast. Great for mosquito bites and eczema (I ate like an idiot today, so no sympathy with myself - know other guys on the forum in the same boat.) Appears the Luftwaffe is arriving. Goes with the territory. Looking forward to the next smoke, probably day after tomorrow. The pipe itself smokes beautifully. Cheers, over and out.

To be clear, I did NOT mix grass clippings in the bowl More the taste is enhanced on the Gentleman Caller to my pallet with the smell of fresh cut grass.

This is how bad it’s gotten with the unholy half cocked mixtures, we all thought you were smoking grass clippings and barely blinked! Haha

Did some low calorie snacking, and am half way through this bowl of year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a medium bend smooth dark brown 1968 Corporate Era Barling 5631 London England TVF billiard silver spigot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Have enough left of this tin for a bowl or so. Watching the Nats-Mariners game that I DVR'd. It's still raining, and the ferals come in and go out repeatedly.
