What is in your pipe? October 2019

Great Outdoors now, in a MM Polished Morgan cob with a blue swirl Forever Stem. Sipping cool water.

WCDCC in a MM Country Gentleman. Iced tea on the side

Esoterica Tilbury in a MM Ozark Moutain Hardwood... the buttery citrus thing is really coming through today. Cool water.

Back home from running errands. Had a couple of bowls of Jim’s A Blend in a three quarter bend smooth 1985 Dunhill Chestnut 5202 with a cumberland saddle stem.

Having a relatively short smoke: 1950s Rum & Maple Tobacco Company Rum & Maple Mixture Blend No. 53 in a medium bend egg 2017 Royal Meerschaum Dragon meer with a black and cream swirl amber colored acrylic tapered stem.

Now smoking 2016 Anniversary Kake in a smooth 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Billy Budd Blonde in a MM MT.

It’s raining so my bowl is upside down.

Evening Gents, Carter Hall in a MM Charles Towne Cobbler

Relaxing after a wonderful steak and pinto beans dinner, and am almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Strang in a 2003 smooth medium bend straight grain Ardor Venere Extra signed by Dorelio Rovera Dublin and a black acrylic saddle stem. Have enough open for a small bowl. Watching the A's-Rays game.

A third of the way through this bowl of early 1970s MacBaren Burley London Blend in a three quarter bend 1983 Jobey Danski 2 straight grain freehand rough top sitter with a pearl amber acrylic stem.

‘The Base’ in a mid-1960s Kaywoodie Prime Grain trumpet with a 1/4 bent acrylic stem.

Just finishing this bowl of C&D Burley Ribbon Cut in a 1970s slight bend black sandblasted Comoy's Silver Cloud 624 sitter with a silver pearl gray acrylic saddle stem. The A's are finished, too.

I forget what I had first, tonight. I guess that's how memorable it was. Then some Sutliff Red Ribbon in the little pot. After that, some 50/50 Newminster Navy/OGS that @McWiggins game me. It's a surprisingly good blend for such a simple combo.

Smoking Five Brothers in a Savinelli Oceano Smooth 320 KS with water on the side.

My last pipe of the day was McClelland’s Oriental Mixture no. 14 (Pre-2012) in a sandblasted Kaywoodie Relief meerschaum lined pot.

Ilsteds Own Sweet Taste No 99.

Count Pulaski in a Squashed Tomato on the way to work. Underwhelmed. The Burley I got out of it wasn't bad. It was a little stingy, the blend in general.

Earlier....OJK ....WC Crumble Cut Burley...Now smoking C&D Billy Budd Blonde in a Missouri Meerschaum Mark Twain. Yesterday at this time, it was 93 degrees. Today it’s 53, windy and raining.

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 in the military mount style.

Watch City Deluxe Crumble Cut in a Missouri Meerschaum Samuel Clemens cob.

Had a light lunch, and am about a third of the way through this bowl of Sutliff Prince Albert Match in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite saddle stem. Hot and humid out there today.

I've had a few pipes today because I took the day off. I forgot what they were now.

Right now, Prince Albert in a Legend.

Overslept... an extremely rare occurrence... getting rid of the groggies with Hearth and Home Fusilier's Ration in the Charatan's Make Freehand Relief Dublin. Peet's espresso. low-sodium V8. Cool water. Checking my pulse.

Now smoking Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth straight Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.

St. Bruno Flake in an old Falcon with a rusticated apple bowl. Cool water. Watching true crime bad guys getting caught and fried on the tube.
