Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am now smoking Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a black sandblasted straight 1998 XXX Ashton lovat with a black acrylic saddle stem.
Prepared Margate in my favorite briar, a Savenelli 622 KS. This pipe has only known Esoterica english blends. The bowl note is superb
I'd have had a few bowls with you if we weren't so far apart and there wasn't a global pandemic!
Peretti Dundee in a Stanwell No. 11, accompanied by Duality Double Malt and rocks.
Granger in an Eric Paulson Billiard. These two pipes were identical, until I purposely submerged one of the pipes in water and then froze it to settle the “water will destroy your pipe” argument. The only thing that happened was the stain lightened up. Still a reliable smoker.
Old Dark Fired in a Comoy’s Prince, out on the porch, with some hot chocolate. I just awoke from a nap and am suffering from mild crabbiness.
Neighbor across the street fired up the Harley just a second ago, and, seeing me out on the porch, paraded his bike around the cul de sac in front of my house to show off for me. This is his usual behavior when he sees me outside. I wave when he comes into view, he waves back and then hurtles off down the street in a blast of exhaust.
Today, instead of waving at him immediately, I decided I’d pretend not to notice. He made one lap, and seeing that I hadn’t noticed, revved the bike, and went for another go around the cul de sac. I waved hello as he swung into view this time. He waved back, and with a nod, took off for who knows where. Next time, Ill see if he’ll do three. I like him.

C&D Red Va w/Perique in Scott Klein blasted oval shank billiard nosewarmer, whilst hiking 
Samuel Gawith Grousemoor in a Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root
Just finished a thoroughly delightful bowl of this old friend in a Castello KKKK Sea Rock Pi. 
Took a rare afternoon nap ... and when I got up, the sun’s out. Finally!
jiminks’s comments earlier about PA vs PA got me thinking, so the Brushed Brown 86 will be hosting the burn of some Mid Town Prince Andrew.
(I’ve got to start staging better pictures.) The bowl has settled to the desired low smolder; time to go outside for a while.

Not far from finishing this bowl of Sam Gawith Kendall Plug in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a dark tortoise shell colored tapered acrylic stem.

Now smoking very old W.D. & H.O. Wills VaPer Three Nuns in a 1980s White Pipe straight lattice apple meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem.
