Pondering a Tim West Pipe. Explaining to my lovely bride why I need to buy it.
Had some Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture in a Mark Tinsky Bulldog.
Just popped an aged rectangular tin of Petersons Irish Flake, I'm smoking in a Peterson Donegal bent B10 Calabash, ballasted with a roast chicken drums dinner with roast potatoes and chard with raisins and embellishments, and a stout red wine. Nice full strength blend mellowed a bit with age. This is the first all Peterson pairing, pipe and blend, in a long time. The rectangular tin remained sealed with the blend moist and in prime shape.
So after the very traditional Dunhill earlier today, let's go the other way. Visions of Cellephais in a Mark Tinksy burl-wood cap, unique custom from his regular line.
Tell her we threatened to give her the photos of you and the sheep if you don't buy it.
Capstan Blue in a Peterson Spigot 303 with Amber Stem
Early-mid 20th Cent. with shank stamped S. McL within a triangle and BAVARIA (Samuel McLardy 1869-1930) still with a screw tenon but the style and shape of the mouthpiece places it near the business's end date + G. L. Pease CHELSEA MORNING:-
A major players in the clay pipe business with basic undecorated clays stamped McLARDY's DUBLIN on the back of the bowls and later S. McLARDY on one side of the shank and MANCHESTER on the other as well as higher end registered designs in a meerschaum wash with cream coloured glaze giving the pipe the look of a more expensive meerschaum.
Anyway, a couple of better quality S. McL briars - both from 1903:-

Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures King Black in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic saddle stem. Watching the Braves-Mets game.
Opened a cutter can of a semi-aromatic from '52. The tobacco inside was in perfect, moist condition. Enjoying it in a late-Reuben era Charatan. It's good.
Thanks mr. Inks , now you have me trying to explain why I just laughed so hard I spit my gin and tonic outTell her we threatened to give her the photos of you and the sheep if you don't buy it.
Tell her you thought you were drinking water.
Germain’s King ? Charles Smoking Mixture in a Sasieni Four Dot Amesbury
2015 LNF in a bent brandy meer. Just found some 2013 in the back of the “cellar” (more of a cabinet, really) so I’m happy. Going to let it sit and think about itself for another couple years: 2023. Hopefully I won’t be opening it up in a foxhole.
I enjoyed the packet of Virginia No. 1 I received from @marconi in my clay pipe.
Coffee with a piece of Bocadito Marroc I made earlier along with a dram and some Amphora Virginia in the Charatan.
Edward G Robinson blend in a Morgan stubby brandy with a gin and tonic.
