Match Elizabethan PC in a Johs straight bulldog with a bigger and deeper chamber than usual. I've had excellent success with Johs pipes, some of them going back more than ten years, durable, light weight, and open draw.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am half way through this bowl of Watch City XCX Beta Test Blend in a 1983 medium bend, mostly smooth, bottom rusticated brown Butz-Choquin Maitre Pipier 3 Fait Main dublin with pearl brown acrylic tapered stem.
Half way through this bowl of Watch City COE Beta Test Blend #1 in a 1978 BBB straight smooth brown Silver Mounted 522 pot with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Watching the pre-game Red Sox-Astros game.
About a third of a bowl left of Watch City Beta Test Blend #3 in a smooth brown three quarter bend 1979 Ben Wade Golden Matt freehand sitter with a channel cut on the right side, plateau rim, and a brown pearl acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
