KBV Spaghetti Western in a Radice Silk Cut
I've passed the first third of this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a black sandblast PSB medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 228/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This will get me to dinner time.
After a dinner of chicken breast with stuffing and cranberry sauce (prelude to next week), a bowl of Sutliff 507-C in my cleaned Savinelli 614ks with 6mm filter. If I had learned to smoke this pipe properly 40 years ago I probably wouldn't have bought all the pipes I have and would probably just have a few of these 614ks'. Sublime ! Still a favorite after 40 yrs.
Visited the Peterson shop in Dublin this morning and bought a Castello billard and loaded up on Condor, Yachtsman plugs and Mick McQuaid. Haven’t the stones to smoke Condor in this pipe but have been enjoying it almost non stop in my Pete XL02.
Peretti Tashkent in the Butz Choquin Calabash and an Izmir Cocktail (variation of the Alaska Cocktail): 2 gin, 1 yellow chartreuse, hearty dashes of Turkish Tobacco Bitters. Very nice if I do say so myself. 
I came outside to try some Marlin Flake and watch the moon rise, but clouds moved in before I could even light the pipe.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cod and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink for now. My good friend who adopted Sam the Scamp's two orange scampers sent me this photo of him with Archie.
Super cool
I've had this Nording for a while now. More than a little beat up, but a great smoker
Burley Flake #1
This morning, Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
Loaded up some well-dried Mac Baren Vanilla Flake in a Savinelli Mattone 614 faux-Hungarian this morning. Only needed half of it while finishing off my tasks, so I had the other half this evening with the ranch chores, which helped take my mind off the fact that it was already 29 degrees (and dropping fast) plus windy. 9/10
Bird report: White-crowned sparrow, California towhee, Dark-eyed junco, Band-tailed pigeon, California scrub-jay, American crow, Steller's jay, Red-tailed hawk, Northern flicker, Hairy woodpecker, Mountain chickadee, and California quail.
Eggplant parmesan on tap for dinner, with homemade minestrone soup and an organic Cab from Trader Joe's. Exceedingly busy this week, but no complaints, especially since I got my Mac Baren poundage in the mail today.
