Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am half way through this bowl of year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a medium bend smooth dark brown 1968 Barling 5631 London England TVF billiard silver spigot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. An underrated VaPer.

Just passing the quarter mark on this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Enjoying my weekly pipe zoom. Gold Star Jamaican Estate Reserve, neat, is my drink.

Late afternoon pre dinner bowl of GLP Kensington in a lopsided Randy Wiley bent dublin. Strong Yorkshire tea aside. I say lopsided because one wall is flat whereas the other is rounded. However, being handmade I'm sure that was intentional. The airway is perfect even though the stem isn't centered on the bowl. It is balanced and hangs comfortably when clenched. Also it is a grade 77 which is near the top of the line for his pipes. A good smoker.
 
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2015 John Aylesbury Sir John’s Flake Virginia in a straight smooth light brown 2020 Ryan Alden Ace of Spades squat bulldog with a spalted pecan top and ferrule that’s on the tapered black acrylic stem.

Good Afternoon my friends. No chance of a smoke yesterday, not with the continuing presence of Nurse Ratchet. I swear that woman was a Russian olympiad Javelin thrower in a previous life. Her skill with needles is second to everyone. I now have more bruises than I would get from 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. So I'm going to plug the biggest bowled pipe in my collection, (a carved lillehammer GL) with a really hefty fill of Zippo blended Hobbit Weed.
And relax in the knowledge I'm free from the Vamperic hoard until Monday.
Have a great day everybody 👍
Zip, Just make sure Nurse Ratched doesn’t bite you in the ear. 😂
 
Wow! The blast on that pipe is something else.
Swede, Thanks. A lot of us have been disappointed with Peterson’s quality lately...me included, but this is the anomaly! The pipe was purchased on January 5th. PSB edition of the Pub. If I remember correctly it weighs 21 grams less than the normal sandblasted Pub.
 
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, rock fish and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a 2015 Ryan Alden quarter bend burgundy sandblasted Queen of Hearts freehand with a black acrylic saddle stem. Since I smoked my other two Alden pipes, I went for the trifecta. Watching an episode of The Carol Burnett Show on PBS. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

A second bowl before a late late breakfast. Guess that would make it brunch, lol. Mosin got me thinking about stronger blends so having OJK Red Label in a Pete Xmas 2021 Deerstalker.
I'll have to give old Joe Kranz a try, half way through this first tin and I find nightcap to be much stronger than RY so far.
 
Savinelli Extra Rusticated Lumberman with some Capstan blue. I got this pipe in an estate bulk buy about 2 years ago, probabably owes me $5.
It has a very fine split about 2" all the way throgh the stem but is still smokeable unfornatually, because it would take me the same time to fix it as to fill the bowl and be on second lite. It is and smokes cool I reckon.
I really love this pipe it is probably the only straight billiard I smoke on a regular basis I probably own about 30, as I prefer my bent stems .
And for the Monty Python fans always think of the song "Immm a Lumberjack/man and Im ok" :LOL:
