Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am now smoking Wilke No.178 in a 1982 smooth slight bend straight grain Ben Wade Martinique freehand sitter with a wide top and a black vulcanite stem. Watching Green Acres.
Almost a third of the way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures MSP The Burley Prototype in a medium bend black sandblasted IPSD 2016 Mark Tinsky book keeper 5 with a square shank and a black acrylic saddle stem with a cream colored accent.
Now smoking the last of my open stash of year 2014 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. I'll revisit the blend when I've smoked down more of the open samples I have. As this pipe smokes SJF so well, I doubt I'll smoke anything else in it, so I guess it'll get some rest for a bit.
Just finished smoking McClelland Anniversary 1977-2010 in a 1980 Stanwell 668 medium bend with a multi-colored ferrule, half black sandblasted, half brown smooth, rough top with a black vulcanite stem.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Yoshimi's Miss Stake Prototype in a full bend black pebble finish 2001 Rinaldo Lithos YY8 Titania Silver Line egg with a black acrylic tapered stem.
About a third of a bowl left of D&R Penhooker Silver in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Dinner will be next.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, salmon and green beans dinner with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. Almost half way through this bowl of year 2014 HU Directors Cut 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 saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of FVF in a smooth 2002 medium bend eight sided panel top straight grain Rinaldo Collection Silver Line F Egea 05 Titania bulldog with a black acrylic stem. Picked a long smoke as I do some reading.
Just finished smoking Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.
Did a bit of snacking, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Yoshimi's Robo Burlesque in a smooth three quarter bend 1979 made in Israel billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. I may close my smoking day with this bowl. Been watching Aerial America on The Smithsonian Channel. It's becoming a favorite series of mine.
Time to do some kitchen cleaning, and I'm smoking 1970s Carter Hall in a straight black sandblast undated Savinelli Hercules 115EX pot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Have enough left for a couple of bowls.
