Close to finishing this bowl of the very dry year 2015 D&R A.P. Rimboche in a smooth dark brown, medium bend late 1950s Parker Super Bruyere 45 with a “4” in a circle billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Been cleaning out the studio.
Now smoking Sutliff Prince Andrew in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite saddle stem. Time to do a short walking rep session. The humidity is very bad today.
About to light up the last bit of the University Flake in The French Pipe #5. Glad it is done, didn’t really like it all that much. Next week I should receive some VaPers and VA flakes to which I really am looking forward.
Finishing a bowl of Amphora Burley in a Briarworks Rusticated Straight Billiard shape c22 with a translucent brown saddle stem.
Pipe smokes well but for some reason this pipe as well as my other Briarworks pipe give me a hard time at the last 1/4 of a bowl. No matter how dry the tobacco is or how I pack I seem to get more Dottle than desired with almost every smoke. Drilling seems on point. Could be the bowl coating.
Now smoking Esoterica Scarborough in a 2002 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend freehand sitter with a small horn ferrule accent and black acrylic saddle stem. Have enough for one more bowl.
