About to be black house in a akb claw meer.
About halfway through a bowl of Squadron Leader in a Barling post transition bulldog.
Finishing the day with a bowl of Rattray’s Old Gowrie in a Willmer Extra Grain A Dublin
Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple, and am smoking Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend pre-1950 Briarcraft Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Working and listening to the Red Sox-Mariners game. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Now smoking Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Solani 660 Silver Flake followed by Irish Flake in a Rossi Bulldog. My goodnight smoke will be Quiet Nights.
Did some snacking, and am smoking D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite p-lip stem.
So I last year I made some ropes. 50:50 red Virginia and dark fired Kentucky, which I then stoved before letting sit in the cellar to further meld. Trying it tonight and I am stoked. Then again, everything is multiplied by infinite awesomeness when blasting early Sigur Ròs
Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke Wall Street in my old reliable straight grain brown medium bend 1986 smooth Peterson Kildare 999 Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Home blended VaPer “SRV” in a Savinelli Punto Oro Mr. G 677 KS.
Smoking my first bowl of C&D Carolina Red Flake, in a Dr. Grabow dated from 1967-1969, a Commodore 65 Zulu from Peter at RadiantPipes.
It has the metal screw in tenon, with the stinger removed, and a Vulcanite stem.
The Zulu is essentially a forward canted Dublin bowl with a slightly bent stem and an oval shank.
Pipedia mentions this about the Commodore;
I don’t know what’s going on a 50+ year old Ghost ? or the beauty of old briar, because I have a Lakeland essence thing going on here with this first bowl of Red Flake and damm it is yummy! ?
But the pipe was in mint/new condition... hmm

Pipedia mentions this about the Commodore;
- COMMODORE (c1964) -- First appears in a magazine ad for $7.95 as early as 1964. Like the Sculptura, later models were sandblasted in a "big" blast circa 1967-69 (See "Sculptura" for details.)

Just finished work an this bowl of Wilke Peanut Butter in a 1980s black sandblasted slight bend Savory’s Argyll 281 Cherrywood with a black vulcanite tapered stem.
Probably that bottle of Hai Karate Men’s cologne that was in the dresser drawer with pipe before you got it…
