And another Charles Beaudelaire from his masterful writings „Les Fleur du Mal“:
La Pipe (the Pipe)
Je suis la pipe d'un auteur;
On voit, à contempler ma mine
D'Abyssinienne ou de Cafrine,
Que mon maître est un grand fumeur.
Quand il est comblé de douleur,
Je fume comme la chaumine
Où se prépare la cuisine
Pour le retour du laboureur.
J'enlace et je berce son âme
Dans le réseau mobile et bleu
Qui monte de ma bouche en feu,
Et je roule un puissant dictame
Qui charme son coeur et guérit
De ses fatigues son esprit.
The Pipe
I am the pipe of an author;
One sees by my color,
Abyssinian or Kaffir,
That my master's a great smoker.
When he is laden with sorrow,
I smoke like a cottage
Where they are preparing dinner
For the return of the ploughman.
I clasp and lull his soul
In the wavy blue web
That rises from my fiery mouth.
I give forth clouds of dittany
That warm his heart and cure
His mind of its fatigue.

Stanwell 91, designed by Sixten Ivarsson. I use a rubber bit to protect the bite on this particular pipe due to its beauty. Sun Bear in the chamber.
Just passing the quarter mark on this bowl of year 2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
Wessex Gold Virginia Flake in an Altinay.
2012 Wessex Gold Virginia Flake in a Jack Howell Dublin.
share imageRadice Rind swirl stem billiard loaded with some 403 Newminster......cup of coffee to enjoy with.
Going to have Prince Albert in another Prince Albert I Clay pipe (with a vulcanite stem and orific bit)—like my other one, this is a portrait of the monarch from Belgium, not Edward VII from the UK that is depicted on the tobacco tin—it just seems too perfect to smoke Prince Albert in Prince Albert, even though it’s not the corresponding Prince Albert. The stand is suede leather wrapped brass by Longchamp.
Did a set of walking reps on this beautiful sunny day, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Mid-day pipe... C&D Burley Flake #2 in a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Hudson (XL21)
WCC Watch City Slices in a Peterson amber stem 87.

A third of a bowl left of Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead plug in a medium bend, smooth brown 1950s Peterson 999 Dublin chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Been reading Ken Levine's blog.
