SPC Mississippi River in a Sydney P. Ram straight, smooth bulldog as I try to decide whether to attend a family gathering in a house full of screaming great nieces and nephews, or stay at home and listen to the Giants / Cubs game with a pipe and a glass of cold beer.
My sympathies, Doug. Twenty years is long, healthy life for a cat. She must have lived and been treated well.Quote:

We had a quiet dinner of sliced turkey with mashed potato's,Now I'm kicking back with Lane Limited Dark Red in my Casillero.
About a quarter of the way through this bowl of Trout Stream 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 Special Latakia Flake in a 1990s smooth Peterson Captain Pete XL80 bulldog with a black vulcanite stem and p-lip.
Iwan Ries Three Star Blue in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic stem.
Broke out some of @NeverBend 's The Professor, which has been resting for about a year or so.
Pete, this stuff is great!
It is rich, deep, leathery, with a smokey backing and a nip of spice on the tongue. I wish I had a pound of this in my cellar! It is like nothing else I smoke.
HOTW in a Mastro De Paja Pesaro straight rusticated brandy will be my last pipe of the day.
One more plug for the auction. The bonus items on lots 2 and 3 will be very desirable, well aged tins of tobacco unobtainable anywhere else. So please, if you are able, bid generously as every penny goes to support our online home here at Cigar Bum.

Just finishing this bowl of Jim's Va/Bur in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem.
Savinelli 140˚ in an unbranded undated (1980s?) straight smooth flat bottom apple with a black vulcanite stem.

I agree, Pete's aromatics are excellent and unique.. I haven't seen him around in ages. Tried emailing and got no reply... even looked up a phone number on teh innerwebs and tried a call but no answer. I hope he's ok.Quote:

Puffing Solani 633, Virginia with Perique. After the first light, I let my pipe go out for awhile, then revel in the aroma wafting from the bowl. It's very fine indeed.
Puffing my once-a-week treat: long-aged FVF. And sipping a medium-roast arabica-robusta espresso.
Yeah. Me too, short of calling.Quote:

First pipe of the day is Balkan Sasieni in a MM Legend. Though not one of MM's better pipes, this one has served me long and well, but I think this will be it's last smoke. The shank is cracked halfway from the stem to the bowl, a result of inserting a Forever stem a bit too forcefully, and the end in the bowl is almost completely burned away. I have many more of these but this was the one I reached for most. It will be sad to see it go.
Just finished smoking 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.
D&R Raccoon’s Delight in a 2003 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend freehand sitter with a black acrylic stem.
D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a 1982 near full bend egg shaped Ascorti Business KS with a black ferrule and black saddle acrylic stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in a while.
Still working on smoking all the small bags of tobacco blends that I have accumulated. Today I am smoking some Mason Jar Blend by the Moonshine Pipe Company; they gave me a generous sample at the 2015 Nashville Pipe Show. Smoking it in a Guildhall billiard by Comoy's.

I mentioned earlier about my plan to smoke up all the small portions of tobaccos that I had stashed around in baggies. I thought that I had a pint jar and a half-pint full of these small amounts to smoke. Well today I was moving some tobacco from the kitchen to some shelves in my bedroom where I can see what I have better and I came across these that I forgot that I had. Five more quart jars and a pint jar full of baggies of tobacco! Yee-ha!

Sounds like it's just getting broken in if the bit of birch shank pokin' into the bowl is burnt away! The cracked shanks are a pickle though. I usually pry apart, and fill with wood glue, and cross my fingers.Quote:
