After taking a break from cigars and pipes for just over three months, I’m excited to be having a smoke in a pipe that represents second chances.
I had been eyeballing this pipe on the smokingpipes.com website for awhile, but was between checks and couldn’t pull the trigger on getting it; the July 4th sale was happening and somebody snagged it when I couldn’t. I was pretty disappointed.
Sometimes, life throws a monkey wrench into your plans and if you’re lucky, you deal with it and carry on.
On July 19th, I was stuck in a bed with not much to do except be in that bed. I was checking out the smokingpipes site and the pipe that I was drooling over just a couple weeks earlier reappeared! Maybe it was bigger than the buyer expected (it measures over eight inches in length) and it got returned. I took this as a sign and ordered it immediately. I seized my second chance.
Having Cornell & Diehl Exclusive (courtesy of @PaulRVA ) in a sandblasted Savinelli Autograph Fan (with a finger hole).
I recently bought a pound of Exclusive to dedicate to this “Second Chance” pipe:
Paul, thank you for your generosity and friendship—words don’t suffice. I’m carrying on.

Welcome back!
What a great story and pipe
Worked a 10 hour day then went to go see my friends play an album release show. Now relaxing with a nightcap of C&D Pegasus in a Pete Aran.
Did some low calorie snacking, and am smoking year 2010 Amphora Original (Brown) in a full bend barley sandblast Peterson 125th Anniversary 1898-2023 No. 172/330 302 brandy military mount with a silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching a early Roy Rogers movie.
Filled a bowl of something I haven't smoked in a while. HU Edward G in a DM Stanwell. 
Now smoking Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend.
Watching "The Howling" and smoking Redburn.
Dealing with a recent monkey wrench myself.
The
is not for the monkey wrench, but because what doesn’t kill us is supposed to make us stronger.
Last smoke of the day is year 2012 Carter Hall in a 1929-1931 KBB Kaywoodie Drinkless 7782 straight smooth walnut bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Reading while this bowl lasts.
Having a gout attack today on my foot. Its elevated and I took some meds. Smoking some Nyala in the new to me, refurbished Kai Tomato.
Match Barking Dog in a Comoy's Crescent #296
Decicided to smoke the Edward G later instead a bowl of HU Dockworker in a Savinelli Dolimiti 311KS. 
Hopefully nothing but I got an odd ECG and have to go for a stress test.The
Night time along the beach, the tide is high and my best ever home blend is singing
perfect notes in this 49 Dunhill pot. This a blend utilizing a small amount of Lane Base tobacco, blending Latakia, Perique, Turkish, smyrna, Maryland, and some green river cavendish with a touch of cherry- pressed and aged and now it holds its on with the best I own.
Same Castello Collection grade #55 with Gawith and Hogarth Dark Flake Aromatic and Cornell and Diehl Burley Flake #5.
