G&H Louisiana Flake in a Redonian army-mounted straight billiard
The last of my stash of D&R Two Timer in a 1979 black sandblasted medium bend Savinelli Non Pareil 9606 Billiard with a horn ferrule.
I have been Yachtless for almost two weeks, but am remedying the problem as I type. The MM Diplomat Forever is serving up some welcome relief from the doldrums of various jars of this and that that I've been smoking. Actually, haven't been smoking much at all! A ruinous case of bronchitis struck me last Saturday, probably brought on by campfire smoke from the 4th. Man, was THAT miserable, almost on a par with the pneumonia I had a few years back. Very unpleasant when you can't walk across the room without gasping for breath!
Almost finished with this bowl of Jim's Va/Bur #1 in the first pipe Trever Talbot made when he went to France many years ago. It's a smooth straight Algerian briar Billiard bowl with a long Canadian stem, unbranded. Dinner is next!
Frog Morton's Cellar in a Grabow
A third of the way through this bowl of Anniversary Kake in a smooth 1981 Century full bend natural egg.
Aged Velvet in a cob :)
Just filled a cob with some SG Navy Flake, compliments of a fellow BOTL.
The last of my stash of C&D Night Train in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band.
GL Pease Sixpence in a Comoys bent bulldog
Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter.
Glad you pulled thru. Perhaps a gratuitous rant about idiots with fireworks is in order? :DQuote:

A couple minutes away from smoking Tilbury in a medium bend raw sienna toned early Radice sandblast egg with bamboo craving on the shank.
Smoked a bowl of Milan King's Ransom that was gifted to me.
I was surprised at how smooth it was and wasn't expecting the sweetness either. Then I read up on it and found out it has cavendish, so it makes sense.
First bowl of it, so don't really have a strong baseline, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
HU Nashville County in a smooth 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49.
Just finished work and this bowl of Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a smooth 1977 Medley (GBD second) medium bend billiard with a flat underside.
Mid-1920s Half and Half in a tan etched medium bend 2001 Rinaldo Sahara 2 Acorn round at the shank, pointy at the opposite top.
Amphora Brown in a 1990s slight bend black Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root Dark 4 Dublin.
Yesterday was Samuel Gawith's English Summer, which left me completely unimpressed. Tonight I'm trying SG's Scottish Autumn, and I can tell just from the tin (mason jar?) aroma that this one is definitely my favorite of the two. I'll be surprised if I don't enjoy this bowl.
Sweet Vanilla Honey Dew in The General on this rainy morning.

Posting a review of this tobacco. Storming here.
OJK in the Calabash. I have not been much of a fan of Old Joe so I figured if any pipe could calm his harsh ass down, this one could. I wasn't wrong but I still have to say I'm not a fan of the old man. I don't think I'll ever understand what many see in this baccy, but to each his own.
