Great pipe! Congratulations!

Did a set of walking reps, and am close to 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 tapered black vulcanite stem. I had to chuckle a little because our local weather people claimed that there wouldn't be a cloud in the sky today. There were as many clouds as there was sunlight. This channel claims to have the "most accurate weather forecasts in the Triad", and that they win awards for it. I claim they get it right maybe half the time at best. Morons!! Anyway, I fed all the ferals except for the absent Abner the Eager. Lunch follows this smoke.

Missed this pipe after a short break. This is the case , when there are many pipes in the breaking in process , but there is not enough time and patience for everything...

Popped a jar that hasn’t had a breath of fresh air in 8 years.

Now smoking a black rusticated canadian, another long shanked older cavicchi, with a flake of HH burley flake and one flake of Rattray’s stirling flake… a serious yum

The last of a tin of last year's Tupelo Sun Bear. Pipe is a GBD billiard.

I have to say that I was underwhelmed by the Sun Bear. Not bad by any stretch, just not exceptional either, IMO. I'll try a tin of this year's release to see if it's better when fresh.

A brand new Dr. Grabow Royal Duke Bulldog with a silver band and a bent black saddle stem. The end of an era it seems for Dr. Grabow Bulldogs. I am thrilled I found not only this one last week, but a Royalton Bulldog as well last year - all from WVSmokeshop. A handsome pipe that looks as good as it feels clenched or held in the hand. Smoking Cult Blood Red Moon as the inaugural smoke.

Yeah that stainless band is not something I’ve seen on a Grabow - beautiful pipe!

J. M. Boswell rusticated bent apple stuffed with SPC Hogshead BBA.
This is a great tasting blend I really enjoyed it. I have not smoked the regular version so I can't offer a comparison.
I will say that being infused rather than topped, the bourbon flavor was very subtle, I could only detect it in the retrohale.

WCC Rouxgaroux in an old sea rock 55.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and near the half way mark of this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a 1999 smooth brown medium bend Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baskerville with a sterling silver band and black vulcanite p-lip stem. Giving the 4AB Natural a day of rest. Gold Star 50th, neat, is my drink.

 

[JimInks]

Nice pipe set.Those must have been the days.

It's funny that you wrote that. I said the very same thing the day I got that set.

Dipping into my rapidly dwindling supply of that good, pre-shortage Syrian Latakia with some Chonowitsch T-16 from 2010 in a Dunhill billiard.

Good day all! Started with Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls in a small Upshall sandblast Dublin with smooth rim and eighth-bent tapered stem size 3. And another lazy afternoon bowl of KBV Prince of Wales in an Upshall sandblast Canadian size 4.
