I've had two fills of F&T Vintage, and I'm now working on my second fill of Solani 779, English Luxury Mixture. The pipe is going exceptionally well today. I don't know why that happens, but I'm grateful when it does.

Now enjoying Sam Gawith Cabbie’s Mixture in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice tea and bergs is my drink on this cool, lightly breezy day. I'm savoring it before the hot summer starts.

About to light up a bowl of MacBaren Roll Cake in a smooth Dr. Grabow Grand Duke billiard.

I have no idea how many blends I have or how many pounds of tobacco I have in the cellar. I haven't even bothered to count the open tins and baggies I'm smoking out of it. I'm congenitally lazy. I do have a fair idea of what blends I have, but I know I don't remember all of them. And I don't even have that big a cellar compared to some guys I know.

As for cleaning my pipes, I do that myself. I did ask my cats, Suzy and Molly, to help out, but all they wanted to do is to bat around and chew on the pipe cleaners, the little moppets!

Relaxing after a wonderful steamed mussels dinner with a bowl of MacBaren Burley London Blend in a 2001 black sandblasted three quarter bend Rinaldo Lithos YY bulldog with a tortoise shell acrylic stem.

Well I'm a numbers man and I can help you out with one eye closed, and probably with one hand tied behind my back. Let me try.....errrr, I think I can. It's coming to me... You have over 61 blends, and over 7 pounds of tobacco..... Errrrrr....was I correct?....

When I met my wife, she was helping to conduct anti-smoking clinics at her church. When we decided to get married, I said I only have one rule. I've been a pipe smoker since I was 13 and been smoking in the house since I was 16, and that I wasn't going to be one of those guys who goes outside to smoke his pipe while holding an umbrella in the rain. I said if you can put up with that, we'll never have a problem. Well, July 2 will be our 28th wedding anniversary, and we've never had a problem, and never gone to sleep at night mad at each other.

That's great Jim! Congrats on her putting up with you that long! I know it's a two way street, but you're right about never going to sleep mad at each other. It'll just fester in the morning. We don't argue because things can always be worked out with calmer heads. If there's a problem, just face it head on and do exactly what she tells me to do. I've been following Nannette around since August 31st 1991. She probably wouldn't​ have kept me around that long, but I can still out run her, so it looks like I'm still following her. Anyhow, I'm blessed to have a woman who'll put up with all my faults, as few as they are......😁

Smoked a haphazard mixture of McClelland 2010, 5105, and 2020 while on a walk with my wife.
