During our Saturday afternoon ZOOM, I smoked the first bowl in a new pipe, that I purchased this morning from Arlington Pipe and Cigar Lounge. I had their pipe and tobacco manager, Amu Torres (who is also the CPCC Secretary), order me a Peterson Arklow 80s. I came straight home, wiped a bit of the bowl coating with a small piece of white Scotch Brite, filled it with McClellan Samovar, and had a wonderful first smoke. The pipe was fantastic, as if I'd been smoking it for months.
I paired it with a mug of Upton Tea's Baker Street Afternoon Blend (Lapsang, Keemun and Darjeeling).
Great ZOOM meeting, great smoke!

Just finishing this bowl of Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Work's done for the day, Suzy and Molly are fed, and so are three of the four feral cats who were waiting for me outside. Time for me to have a small snack.
