Enjoyed a tasty jazz apple, and am almost a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 44 in an undated straight, smooth light brown unbranded short shank Bing-ish billiard with a long, tapered black vulcanite stem. Working!

Ive taken the position that AFC pipes were made by BBB, and were essentially “own makes” that didn’t make the grade. That said, the couple I’ve owned, and a few more I’ve seen listed, have had either the Bloomfield or Frankau makers mark on the silver. Beautiful pipe regardless bro

Half way through this bowl of first release Watch City Rhythm & Blues in an undated straight smooth brown Crosby Saint Andrews Comoy’s “ Merchant Service-like Bing” with a silverish band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Fed the feral cats, and am listening to Command Performance as I work.

Last smoke of the day is Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem. Have a few things to do around the house before bed time.

Another day, another dollar, another night another..........! Anyway here I am enjoy my second bowl of the day whilst drinking a cup of that K-Cup coffee ruminating on the fact that making coffee has become so much easier over the last 20 years. I thought I would start the day on an 'up tick' so it's a bowl of Bosun's Plug and my favorite meerschaum. Have a good day men and I will check in with you all later.
