Here in the PNW we had a week of dense smoke followed by a week of heavy rain.
Sun came out today and enjoyed Salty Dogs under a blue sky in a pre- tran Smooth Barling 15, EL.

Man, I love that pipe. Yours is the only 15 I've seen. And I've looked!

Now smoking Esoterica Dunbar in an Old England 59S.

Man, I love that pipe. Yours is the only 15 I've seen.

I picked this up probably 25 years ago, somewhere, and then put it away because I thought it too small for the tobaccos I preferred at that time. I rediscovered it a few months ago and find it a perfect size and shape for Salty Dogs and both have now become regulars.

Just finishing this bowl of Peretti Coffee Blend in a 1979 smooth slight bend H. Jones Ltd. Easy Loader 391 Dublin with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Not smoked anything yesterday or today!

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty peach, and am now smoking the last of this sample of Mystery Test Blend X in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow with white swirls acrylic saddle stem. A friend sent this and two other samples in our guessing game. These samples were submitted by blender at the 2012 Chicago Show to see who could most faithfully recreate John Cotton’s No. 1&2.

A third of the way through my last smoke of the day: Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a medium bend 2002 MM Legend cob with a yellow plastic stem.

I've cleaned this pipe with the boiled water method.
My first impression: smoking perfect!?

Rainy day (much needed here in Cincinnati!) but just have to head out to the covered deck to try out this new Jesse Jones Blowfish. Going to load with some SVH and watch the drizzle.

That's absolutely outstanding! Would love to see how that "hook" fits into the palm. Congrats on a beautiful piece of wood there.

Exquisite stuff. Would love to see how this colors over time...

Taking stock of my collection this morning with this duo: C&D XX Flake in a classic little Castello 55

Coming to the shocking realization that as we welcome a few new commissions to the collection, we might have to let a few go... Not exactly Sophie's choice but maybe Sophia had to make some tough decisions too?

Escudo in a beloved Downie

Reflecting my mood with some Solani Aged Burley Flake in a Tsuge The Tasting straight black billiard. Coffee - black, bitter, and harsh - on the side.
