Did a set of walking reps with my old college buddy, and am nor far from finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Then, we go off to for some lunch!

Is it, or is it not a Peterson? Does anyone got a clue?

It just came within a box of old pipes. It’s sandblasted ruggedly, cognac with black. And unfortunately it must’ve have had an accident, the rim in front is scratched badly. The owner sold it with a few pipes that are clearly dated to the 1950s.

Silver bands are missing, also a P-logo on the stem. The stamping on the wood is done badly, and worn out, hardly to read, just a few numbers left: 95…. But it’s got a p-lip stem, and that system chamber of Petersons.

Yesterday I saw someone show up a Kapruf 59. and it looked quite similar.

I spent an hour to clean the ebonite shank from brown gunk, to shrub the bowl, clear the airways polish and ad some carnauba wax to it.

Fired it with Motzek (Darasz) Strang, which I like a lot.

Now having a bowl of C&D Epiphany in the #1 cob.

It's pretty good today, but my experiences with this tobacco (like the HOW Revelation I had toward the end of its production) are so variable. It seems best when fresh out of the tin, like the topping or some other magic off-gasses while it's in the jar. And then some bowls are really delicious, while others just seem like a jumble of tobacco. I dunno if it's my mood, whether I'm not getting the right mix of components into the bowl sometimes, or other things in the environment contributing to better or worse smokes...

Enjoyed a tremendous Italian lunch at Giacomo's: a foot long double meat pastrami sub and an Italian foot long sub, a generous portion of their prosciutto, provolone pasta, and LOTS of tiramisu along with Italian coffee. Eat your heart out, @tfdickson ! :)

Just passing the quarter mark on this bowl of year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Had to let the dogs out at 2:30 this morning to pee 🙄, and it was snowing! 😱 It's only 4.6C (~40 f) now. Yesterday was 20C and sunny in the afternoon. Winter is coming.

Smoked a bowl from a sample of C&D Winchester I bought a couple of years ago, in my Musico sandblasted pot. This stuff seems to stay moist. I left the jar open for a day and half and it's still a little squishy. I guess that's because of the Cavendish content? (PG?) Anyway, Pegasus this is not. Tastes nice but a little light for me.

I needed something a little more vitamin-rich so I followed up with a some Dark Birdseye in my Peterson belgique.
