Things to ponder on the deck at lunchtime. Peterson 80S SHORT and Warped Saint Espresso. I opened this last spring and tried it once and didn’t really think much of it and decided to try it again now it’s been open, but lid on for several months. No drying necessary with this and I like it!
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am just passing the half way mark on this bowl of first release Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Braves-Phillies game.
Afternoon Smoke on a beautiful October day: Peterson's Standard Mixture in a Les Wood Ferndown REO straight Bulldog (2*), along with my handy Rodgers of Sheffield pipe knife and 1950's Nimrod Commander pipe lighter
About a quarter of a bowl left of Wilke No. 111 in a smooth medium bend 1938-1948 Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a nickel band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Robert McConnell's Scottish Flake in a Danish Tobacco Shop's "The Dan" (sandblasted).
Still getting over being sick for the past few weeks (I finally managed to get Covid).
It's good to feel ready to smoke a pipe again - enjoying the Scottish Flake quite a bit - but one flake lasts me for 2 hours in this... a long smoke.
