Bought a tool today that I have never owned before. It's a pole saw. I have been working hard over past year or so to clear out and expand pastures to the fences. I had cleared out the lower stuff with my conventional chain saw but I could not get the high stuff so that I could run tractor and bush hog without getting a face full of tree limbs. This pole saw is just the trick. Then, I came through with the tractor and forks and got up the brush.

So,...... after all that work, I relaxed with some Orlik golden slice in my Comoys Dublin. Boy, it tasted good. It's funny how a pipe is even better after you have put in some worthwhile work. Sparkling water to drink...

Just finished smoking year 2020 C&D Virginia Flake in a straight medium brown 1922-1937 Irish Free State era Peterson 222 bullcap with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. It's time to check on the ferals.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2014 Esoterica Tilbury in a smooth medium bend 1999 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. This should get me to dinner time.

Choochin some HU Cervantes in a Kaywoodie white briar apple while I make a rosary for my son.

@dottlejockey You have such an amazing collection of Meerschaums. I have always especially adored "The Hammer." What a masterpiece!

@Goblin_Walrus Congrats on your first Meer! I love them. Got just the one, but I know I will acquire another (and another) in the future.

Thank you! I was terribly excited when the package came today, and I’m already in love and planning my next meerschaum purchase. I’m thinking one of two directions: a crazy figural, or a bare-bones classic English shape. But a bigger bowl, for sure. This one will be fantastic for my straight Virginias.

Last of 2022 tin of Awakened Elder, in the Butz-Choquin Calabash, and iced decaf au lait.

Time well spent!

2019 Sunset Harbor Flake in a Peterson Black Sandblasted Spigot 107 with the Arabesque Old Boy. This bigger-ish billiard is such a comfortable size, I’m in heaven.

Mine paid for itself with the first use. Once you have one you realize very quickly how much you can accomplish in a short amount of time.

Peter Stokkebye’s Proper English in a Charatan Lane Era Bent Pot

Earlier had a cheeseburger and a porter with my wonderful wife at Brick Streets brewery in Corsicana TX. After dinner, Briar Fox (courtesy of a sample from @Servant King) in my blasted Dracula 106 billiard and, what can I say, I added myself to the email list on smoking pipes for the 1lb format of Briar Fox. Just a good well-rounded smoke, but at the same time more than the sum of its parts.

I added myself to the email list on smoking pipes for the 1lb format of Briar Fox.

Until that comes, you can stretch the sample a bit by adding a little VA to it, which I did to make it more palatable. I call it Briar Faux.

Enjoy!

Uhle’s Perfection Plug Burley with a pinch of Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake in a Savinelli Canadian. Guys’ weekend at my buddy’s cabin in northern Michigan.

PS: I’m working on my first try of Uhle’s PBB. It is outstanding. Great on its own, and a superb blender
