Almost finished smoking Wilke No. 24 in a 1978 smooth pointy bottom three quarter bend Sir Brent, shaped like a check mark with a black vulcanite stem.
Just finished smoking a friend’s home blend, Dix VaBur in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite tapered stem.
Now smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Having some Cornell and Diehl SP 20th anniversary XX Flake in a James Upshall Tilshead billiard. The heat has finally broken a bit in Arizona and this is the most comfortable bowl I've smoked in over a month!
That’s right it’s already September! My my, I sure hope the weather breaks soon! It’s been too damn hot here in central Texas. I look forward to our one day of fall and two weeks of winter!
Half way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Yoshimi's Vizmir Prototype in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a gold and black swirl acrylic tapered stem. This will finish my smoking day.
Smoking some Synjeco Bad Nun in a Charatan. That is one fine blend - the smoothest nic-hit I've ever tried. I can really recommend it to smokers that like it strong.
Last nite I had a bowl of some 80's Drucquer's States Blend. Kind of a unique taste. Couldn't find anything about it other than it was made of some Maryland and Carolina Bright Virginia and some burly.
Good Morning! It's officially September and I can safely say that due to all the disasters of 2020 I cannot name anything particularly of note for this year unless you count not spending any money as an achievement! The only thing about 2020 is that my tobacco consumption seems to have grown, maybe thats what keeps this Bat virus at arms length so far! Today I thought I would take my mid to late 19th century meerschaum 'cutty' out for a ride. It has a silver band, hall marked Birmingham with a lovely Baltic amber mouth piece. The case needs seeing too and I will be sending that off to my case repair man this week. He restores pianos so somehow this uniquely qualifies him to restore 19th century pipe cases. My tobacco for the morning is Black Irish X and CCP mixture which really seems to work, takes the edge off the twist and produces a room note that does not smell like a major party political convention. Enjoy September 1st!
Smoking C&D Old Joe Krantz in a University Deluxe Billiard. I'm Having coffee with my wife, enjoying the last day of a vacation.. that just didn't feel like 2 weeks.
