What Is In Your Pipe? - December 2019.

I dont post much of what I'm smoking but I wanted to use this time to show off this beautiful tamper Jason made for me and gifted me last night along with some great tobacco.

Now smoking 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.

Just finishing this bowl of Old Colonial in a medium bend beater 1979 Aalborg natural freehand made by Nording with a black vulcanite stem. It has a nice, comfortable flavor, but burns a little quickly.

Part way through this bowl of Sutliff Cringle Flake (Holiday Edition 2019) in a 2002 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend freehand sitter with a small horn ferrule accent and black acrylic saddle stem. I picked my best Va. pipe for this smoke.

Now smoking year 2013 H&H Classic Burley Kake in a 2002 quarter bend sandblasted Stanwell Golden Danish 139 with a black vulcanite tapered stem.

This next blend has been stewing in a mason jar since June, 2018. It’s another underrated light English blend that is frequently passed over in favor of its stronger companion blends. It’s made of the highest quality tobaccos.

Esoterica And So To Bed in a sandblasted Brebbia squashed tomato with a tortoise shell acrylic stem.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, meat loaf and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. Part way through this bowl of 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. Watching Churchill, a 2017 movie.

Chatham Manor in a shop pot.

Now smoking 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. Not happy with the historical inaccuracies and over dramatism of this Churchill movie.

Rich Dark Honeydew in a Kaywoodie bulldog.

Now smoking Lane Ready Rubbed/McClelland Samsun in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem. Have enough for one more bowl. Watching Green Acres.

Did some snacking and am now smoking 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 stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Watching Kansas City Princess starring Joan Blondell.

Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Verge Engine Overdrive in a 2018 smooth straight flame grain Basil Meadows Merchant Service "Bing" replica with an aluminum band and black ebonite stem.

Hello from Greece, sun and 61 'F here in Athens.



DTM Da Vinci.

Last night: DCC in one of my Eggs.... this stuff is ruining me!

This morning: Rimboche S.J. in a 5th Ave. Diplomat.

Almost finished smoking Jim’s A Blend in a three quarter bend smooth 1985 Dunhill Chestnut 5202 with a cumberland saddle stem.

Amphora Burley in a Savinelli Chiara prince.

Back from running errands and smoked a bowl of 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.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am part way through this bowl of Sutliff Cringle Flake (Holiday Edition 2019) in a 2002 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend freehand sitter with a small horn ferrule accent and black acrylic saddle stem. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

'Mornin' gents. Edward G. Robinson's Blend in my favorite pipe, the JB Devil Anse Stack. Low sodium V8, Peet's espresso, cool water. Channel surfing. Hangin' in there

Now smoking Watch City Spill’sbane in a smooth unfinished brown slight bend 2015 Savinelli 320KS author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Been a very busy day.

...a bowl of Esoterica Dunbar coming up (eternal thanks to @10furlongs... what a kind gift) and cool water pairs... after that, it's a nap. Naps have become a big part of my day.

Now smoking Watch City Off the Rails in a medium bend raw sienna toned early Radice sandblast egg with bamboo carving on the shank and a black acrylic saddle stem. Bright and sunny, but slightly chilly today.

Now smoking Watch City Spill’sbane in a smooth three quarter bend 1970s Charatan Belvedere 4211DC egg with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink as always.

Not far from finishing this bowl of 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 stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.
