What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Just finished smoking St. Basil’s Ivan the Terrible in a smooth straight WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.

Now smoking Granger in a black 1997 Brebbia Jubilee 925 silver banded grain sandblast briar calabash with a black acrylic stem. Have enough left for a couple bowls.

Part way through this bowl of Peretti’s Thanksgiving Blend in a sienna toned slightly etched 1979 signed Rossi 1886 Visconte 245 Oom Paul with a ring around the middle of the shank and an amber acrylic stem. I'll finish the night off with this smoke.

halfway through my first bowl in almost two months, Lane Limited Ready Rubbed in a MM Rob Roy legend w/ vulcanite stem, and a cuppa coffee. Compared to the Sutliff match, I do find this less sweet (everyone says a lack of molasses). To be honest, I prefer this for that very reason, the sutliff match was a little bit too sweet for me taste, and this is just right so far.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Sir Walter Raleigh in an old grain relief, partly smooth full bend "V" shape bowl Ben Wade Prominence freehand with the letter A and the numeral 2 in circles with a black vulcanite stem and ferrule.

Puffing Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug, my favorite topped Virginia. The topping is tasty, and applied judiciously. Scrumptious tin note, and pretty tin presentation – neat rectangular flakes of variegated light and dark leaf.

STCoP Dobie’s Four Square Aromatic in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black vulcanite stem.

Part way through this bowl of Stonehaven in a 1998 smooth medium bend Peterson Limerick 69 with a nickel band with a black vulcanite p-lip stem. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink.

First pipe of the day is another tall bowl of Anniversary Kake in a MM General with a bent stem. I need to get more of these pipes, just fill, pack, light, and smoke forever.

Half way through this bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem.
