Can't stop the PH curly block action. It's fantastic. Sitting out getting the last bit out of the pool before it goes into hibernation. Smoking on an eltang basic that's coloring up nicely.The eltang smokes ok, but I feel is more wet as there's less briar to absorb moisture.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke #44 in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Nats-Indians game. Nats scored nine runs in the second inning.
Pease Robusto 2017 fits well into this Moretti - and this nearly 90 degree late September day on the NC coast. Been a few weeks since I managed a 3 bowl day - fitting bold end!
Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Sweet Whiskey Rope in my MM Shire Cobbit.
Sliced it, rubbed it out and let it dry a good 24 hours, and I must have packed it right because I only needed a couple relights. I think this was my most successful rope preparation.
Just finishing this amazing and big, long smoke: FVF in a 2002 smooth full bend straight grain paneled Ardor 2 Dot Venere Giant Fantasy freehand with a blue ferrule and black saddle acrylic stem with a sliver band around the tenon, in the military mount style. A deep bowl that holds a lot of tobacco. I should smoke this big pipe more often.
