Thanks. I love that pipe. As for ODF 25th, I'm smoking a tin and aging the rest. I'm curious to see how it ages.
Ashton Artisan‘s Blend in a Lee Von Erck “A” freehand.
We pulled the kids out of school a week early and have gone to Auckland for a family holiday. I brought a jar of Ed and this cased pair of Orlik bruyere antiques. The date letter on the gold bands is for 1918, which makes these the earliest record of this series seen to date. I’d love to know if anyone else has one from this year or even earlier.
A short break for a quick lunch. Grey, cool and wet.
What better than a curry meat pie. Followed by a couple of mandarins.
Now to the 2nd bowl - Esoterica Dunbar
In a Fernwood Bark. Vll Copa Federacion, APO Sevilla 2007

The yellow warbler is 1 of only 3 warbler species I've seen where I live and only once in the 3 years I've been birding.Drying a week-capping pinch of SPC Hogshead (sample) on a paper towel, with a Foyard Beechwood straight Rhodesian prepped and ready for loading. Both sample and pipe are courtesy of @TheIronMonkey (along with the Uno. And the Loch Ness. And the Palmetto Balkan. And the etc.). For the umpteenth time, I thank you kindly!
Bird report: California towhee, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, California quail, House finch, Common raven, Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, Mountain chickadee, and...Yellow warbler! First time sighting in my 6+ years here in the mountains. Wish it stayed long enough for me to snap a picture, so I could show off my crappy photography skills with a blurry yellow smudgy eyesore of a photo.
Shabbat shalom, and an early Chag Sameach!

I love my chubby Pete Rhodie but hate its shallowness. It would take me 2 minutes to hit the the third way through mark smoking my ribbon cut tobacco.
Enjoyed a tasty Cosmic Crisp apple, and am almost a thrid of the way through this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Fed Shy Stripesy and Daisy the Feral Princess.
I understand. Of course, Hogshead is not a ribbon cut so I get an hour or so out of it. I do have another 1950s chubby 999, but haven't decided what to smoke in it. It has a smaller bowl than the one I've been smoking.
Welcome back Lazarus!
Good night brothers and sisters of the leaf. Time for Peterson Night Cap in a
Briar Works C101.
Briar Works C101.
Just passing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2016 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown post-1964 Parker Super Bruyere 88/F group 3 bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Now smoking SWRA in a straight, black sandblasted undated Comoy’s Sunrise Etched Grain straight apple 551 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. I may end the day early with this smoke.
Morning All. Reading the papers, drinking an Espresso and cutting up some XX Twist with a view to filling up this fun 6" meerschaum 'cutty' pipe.
Sleep was really a nap, so I figure I'd get another smoke in: Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked.
Good morning. I went out early this morning to my friend (search ruins) Busca Ruinas' bar, had a nice strong black coffee, while smoking a Partagas cigar. Now smoking a bowl of Capstan Gold, in a Ser Jacopo Calabash. I was tempted to buy a new pipe, in this case a meerschaum. And the ship's rudder took an unexpected turn, and I ended up buying 7 bottles of whisky, Scotch, Highlands, and some American.
Been smoking on and off today with a bowl of cube cut University Flake in a Savinelli Miele 128
