Now smoking Smoker’s Pride Mellow Taste in a smooth straight pre-transition Barling 313 T.V.F. EXEXEL pot with a black ebonite saddle stem. Working and listening to the MLB talk on the XM.
What a beautiful pipe! And stunning grain too! I’ve not heard of Hasty, I’ll have to look into him (not that I can buy a nice pipe right now, but for future reference.)
GH&C Kendal Flake in a Nording Compass with a glass of Sempe 15 year Vieil Armagnac.
This is my first experience with Kendal Flake. It's milder than I expected. Kind of cigar-esque in flavor and profile. Leather, a bit of wood, oh-so slight smokiness, and and I would swear a hint of salt. It pairs very well with the Armagnac; bringing out its sweetness. Armagnacs are usually more fruit forward but this is more like its neighbor, Cognac. mmmmmmmm
In a couple of minutes, I'll be smoking the last of this sample of year 2010 McClelland Pebblecut in a 1980 Stanwell 668 medium bend with a multi-colored ferrule, half black sandblasted, half brown smooth, rough top with a black vulcanite 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 stem.
Finished work, and am not far from finishing this bowl of Lane Burley and Black in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a brown pearl acrylic saddle stem.
