Smoking the last fill from my third tin of Solani 656 Aged Burley Flake. I really like this stuff. If my Virginias are good steak, then the ABF is good pot roast – and I love pot roast!
GL Pease Navigator in a straight Sunrise natural billiard.
I guess you could call it the Knoxville Pipe Club. It's a stretch to call ours a club, about 8 regulars. We meet once a month at Smoky's Tobacco and Cigars in Knoxville, TN. It's very informal; we don't have officers or keep a treasury or anything.Quote:

This is exactly what I would like to set up. Something nice a casual, not to serious. Just some guys who like to talk, smoke, and have some adult beverages.Quote:

Having an evening half bowl of Storm Front in a MM General. Thunder storms rolled through and cooled things off, figured it was a good choice for tonight.

Strang is untopped Virginia? How does it compare to Dunhill Flake? DF is my favorite untopped Virginia.Quote:

Moonshine Pipe Co. XXX blend in a Fireside medium billiard churchwarden.
Nearly through this bowl of Old Colonial in a medium bend beater 1979 Aalborg natural freehand made by Nording with a black vulcanite stem. Up early to chat with company. And to smoke. And to feed Suzy and Molly. And to eat. And to post. That 'bout covers it!!!
Not too far from finishing 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.
Today at 2:30 EST makes 42 years that I have been a pipe smoker!
As of now, in celebration of 42 years as a pipe smoker, I am smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in the very first pipe I ever smoked (which was my father’s pipe), a late 1950s smooth with etched grooves straight Willard long stem adjustomatic Canadian with a black vulcanite stem.
Uhle’s 255 in a 2002 quarter bend sandblasted Stanwell Golden Danish 139 with a black vulcanite stem.
2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite stem. An appropriate smoke for the 42nd anniversary of pipe smoking.
15 year old Penzance in a 1990s smooth Peterson Captain Pete XL80 bulldog with a black vulcanite stem and p-lip.
Now smoking nothin'. It's too damned hot. I closed the windows and turned on the AC for the first time this year.
