Gotta love the meers...
Red Flake in my Ken Barnes saddle billiard.
Wilke LIPC Long Island Sound in a Nording.
New blend to try today, here’s hoping. Geometrie in a Castello #33 on a cold, wet day.
One of.my favorite pipes!
Old Joe Krantz in a Cob. Winding down a busy week for how short it was, had a lot of music gigs and I'm entering a little vacation beyond my weeklies. Finally cooling down a little too.
Geometrie is a unique oriental. Good stuff and one i will keep on hand for years to come. Hope it treats you nice in that beauty of a Castello!
Now smoking Seattle Pipe Club Give Me Liberty in a straight smooth medium brown pre-1920 straight Marechal Ruchon & Cie. Royale apple with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Just let Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave in to eat. Harry the Hairy is eating outside. Abner the Eager is wherever he goes when he leaves here.
My father's old Willard, filled with a mixture of GH Brown Plug and SG Balkan Plug. Delightful.
Out of the tin it surprised me with its moisture content but I didn’t dry it. Orientals backed by that sweet bready/yeast flavour with a hint of vinegar. I’ll play with the prep a bit and see what works best but for this bowl it was sliced and rubbed out. Half way and the spice is coming through more, so far so good. A bit of air will work wonders as will some age I suspect.
G.L. Pease Embarcadero in a Crown Jewels pot this evening, to make up for a less-than-stellar smoke earlier.
Full chore day today, which I ended with a bowl of Newminster 400 in a Peterson Irish Harp 80s sandblasted bulldog. Dried it perfectly, didn't even need more than a charring light! This is, as my wife calls it, summer's last "f*** you." Suffice to say, I'm looking forward to the big temperature drop coming next week! 9/10
Bird report: House finch, California scrub-jay, California towhee, California quail, Steller's jay, American crow, Red-tailed hawk, Mourning dove, Hairy woodpecker, Oak titmouse, Dark-eyed junco (they're back!), Blue-grey gnatcatcher, and White-breasted nuthatch.
Gotta run, eggplant parmesan awaits...

This pipe is a beauty for sure
Haven’t had a fried tongue in over a year, but the one smoke I had based with BLWB last night did it.
So I changed my usuals up and had a smooth smoke of WCC Santa’s Sack in the Color Duke this evening.
I think my Lane based aro mixes need to be vac sealed and swapped to someone that can use them.

Awakened Elder in the Moonshine Long Devil Anse
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am half way through this bowl of year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. Daisy the Feral Princess is snoozin' by my feet. Sleepy Suzy is snoozin' beside me.
Still in KC. Same spot, same pipe, this time with a fresh batch of Steamworks and a Pipes and Cigars t-shirt swag.
Keeping the evening relaxed with a bowl of Peretti's Cuban Mixture in a Moretti morta nosewarmer.
