A third of a bowl left of year 2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
A bowl of Rouxgaroux loaded up for my lunch break in a Savinelli Punto Oro 677KS. I bought this pipe from Val Shannahan years ago. Sadly he passed last year. I sure have missed our chats about pipe repair and restoration. I had always intended to meet up with him on one of my sojourns back to the sunshine state, but never was able to.
2019 Escudo in my Dr Grabow Regal bulldog today. I had rubbed it into chunky ribbons and set it out to dry last night. That approach has been working well -- I think smoking tobacco straight out of the tin (or jar) in Iowa's often humid weather wasn't doing me any favors before.
Match Revelation from PC in my Caminetto Hawkbill, won in a veterans' limerick contest sponsored here by a member, my preparation for tomorrow, Veterans Day. Revelation was said to be one of Einstein's favorite blends. We may get sideswiped by storm Nichol tomorrow, mostly rain they predict.
Did a set of walking reps on this cloudy, windy day, and smoked a 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. We're to get wind and rain from Nicole some time today or tonight. Hope it'll wait until I do my second set of walks.
Smoking Amphora Virginia in a Kaywoodie Natural Burl. Storm going through here now, windy and more rain. Not bad though, just tired of the hurricane season!
Not far from finishing this bowl of Watch City New Beta in a 1978 straight smooth brown BBB Silver Mounted 522 pot with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Starting the smoking day off with LJ Peretti’s Oriental No. 40 in a recently acquired Tekin latticed squashed tomato meer that I got from PipesDepot on the Bay of e. Then It’ll be a bowl of Peretti’s Omega in a recently acquired Altinay apple spgiot
Good day all! Bearded the Tiger aka Hurricane Nicole here on the East Coast of the Sunshine State; no flooding or trees down and only lost power and the internet sporadically (coastline's another story). Tobacco and matches were kept dry thanks to fervant prayer and watertight plastic cargo boxes. Hope Forum Members on the Gulf Coast are faring well this time, too. Starting with Peterson 3P's in an small Upshall sandblast Dublin with eighth-bent stem size 3-4.
Enjoyed a tasty cinnamon raisin French toast lunch with a sliced peach on the side before I snacked on some unsalted peanuts. I'm close to finishing this bowl of 1970s Philip Morris Revelation in a 1920s-30s Grant’s Pipe Shop Corinthian Deluxe 409 (made by Comoy’s) smooth brown medium bend bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Lavazza Espresso, neat, is my drink.
