Did a set of walking reps on this Summer-ish day, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Going to have Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Special Reserve Flake in a Savinelli Estella 320 EX Author (correct stem, with an “E” and normal proportions for a 320, unlike the previously posted Estella 320 KS). I love the grey, marbled stem on this pipe—the majority of the Estellas I’ve come across are in the ubiquitous yellow/gold. I’m fascinated by the Estella rustication and how the traditional Savinelli shapes deviate from standard form because of all the jagged, nooks and crannies.

1/2 bowl of fresh Rivendell out of bag in my 1980's Erica System Pub Pipe (Pete 2nd) with 22mmx50.5mm chamber. I smoked slowly for 40 minutes before I had to stop. Based on tobacco left I am guessing I could have gone another 20 minutes therefore this seems to be a two hour minimum pipe. There was some moisture around the shank chamber walls from condensation but nothing in bottom. This was the driest smoke I have ever had ... none of my other pipes smoke this dry. I put a pipe cleaner down the draft hole when loading and packed a bit tighter. The dry system worked today. And Rivendell is always tasty but I did sneeze once from the burley.
