Our friend, John, is visiting to watch the UFC 295 PPV. I’m going to start off the Early Prelims with Cult Blood Red Moon in one of my earliest Eugène-Léon Ropp pipes, a Cherrywood with a Natural Horn Stem. It’s stamped “Bussang,” so, it’s very likely it was made at Ropp’s original workshop there between 1870–1893.
There’s a natural notch on the right side—I believe this piece of wood was selected so that the smoker’s right index finger fits in that groove for a perfect grip; there’s a natural notch at the back for the right thumb as well. I normally hold pipes in my left hand (I’m a lefty), but, I switch to my right with this pipe because it fits a righty grip so comfortably.

And now, cigar time. Camacho Broadleaf, with book and brandy. I aspire to someday rock the stogie pics like hoosierguy, but not today

Sum of parts in a Savinelli Silver 606 EX
Passing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2013 Rotary Navy Cut in a post-1938 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 bulldog with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Nigel Bruce smoked this model in two Sherlock Holmes movies. Please consider asking Shane Ireland at Smoking Pipes and Peterson to bring the pipe back into production. Spent a bit of time keeping Sam the Scamp safe from the others while he ate. Tomato the Brave is very territorial and his sister Daisy the Feral Princess isn't much better when it comes to that. Daisy and Tomato have been hanging around here for three years now. They didn't used to be that way, but two new ferals has changed their attitudes.

Earlier I had Mac Baren 7 Seas Regular in a MM Morgan, and am now enjoying Iwan Ries 3 Star Blue in a different MM Morgan.
A third of the way through this bowl of several years old Dunhill Elizabethan in a straight smooth, dark brown patent era 1952 Dunhill Bruyere ODA apple 806 B124 with a black vulcanite tapered stem.
Some football and a bowl of finely aged SG Best Brown #2 in the pale lamp-light. Taste like smokey sugar.

Silent contemplation and thanks to those who served and their sacrifice.
And thoughts of their loved ones, families and friends left behind.
