Peterson's 3 P's Perfect Plug, in a Nording 
A third of the way through this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. It's still raining. Daisy the Feral Princess and Harry the Hairy ate, but Tomato the Brave is hiding out somewhere. Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger ate well. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
I have always loved the Yachtsman (or Zulu) shape in a pipe. That said, I prefer a larger pipe than the standard yachtsman. I was elated to find a good deal on an unsmoked, Kaywoodie Yachtsman which was the 2010 "Pipe of the Year." This one is number 66 out of the 150 that were made and at 7" long, it is a nice size with a large bowl. So, I decided that the maiden voyage smoke for this be some HU Edward G. It was a great experience and after cleaning out the barn this morning..... I figured I deserved it. 
One of my favorites, very slept on cigarFollowed the pipe with this Alec Bradley Project 40 -- an absolute winner, esp. considering the price
Paired with Old Forester Rye over miniature icebergs
You know you're enjoying your cigar when you're forced to finish for fear of burning your lips off!

A quarter of a bowl left of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite saddle stem. This pipe was gifted to me by Mark Ryan.

Congratulations on a fine looking Zulu.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am part way through this bowl of year 2020 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. Gold Star Jamaica Blue Mountain, neat, is my drink.
Oh, I got the "crap on the boots" also. The pipe was just a bonus..........What the heck ? Everytime I cleaned out a Barn all I got was crap on my boots
Edisto in the Virginia cob.
Just for variety, I moistened the pack with a drop of water before lighting up. Predictably, that made it harder to light, but I got a lot more of the sweet fruitiness from the best smokes of this blend. Next time, I’ll try smarter hydration methods to see if that continues to help!

May her memory be for a blessing. And may all work towards ending religious violence.Kind of a bittersweet round of golf today...my friend just sold her house, and this course is "members only," so this may have been the last time I get to play this 9-hole par 30. Made the most of it and shot +10 (my age!). Accompanying me was Mac Baren Plumcake in a MM Dagner poker. Puffing in a stiff breeze was tough, but mastering a lob wedge is much more so. 8/10
