Enjoyed an important nap, and am now relaxing after a wonderful salad, big filet mignon and baked potato dinner with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. I'm part way through this bowl of year 2010 FVF in a smooth 2002 medium bend flame grain Rinaldo Collection Silver Line silver spigot 10 Egea 03 Titania with a black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
 
For my morning bowl of Burley in memory of Paul_of_Burley I decided to go with something I knew he enjoyed: C&D Dark Burley in a paneled Design Berlin. For the brief time he was a member here (not quite three months) he was very generous with his postings, and provided a unique perspective. He also took our razzings about Mixture 79 in good graces. That at least brings a smile to my face. :)
 
In Paul's honor, McB HH Burley Flake in an Aldo Velani. Even made my version of "cowboy coffee" as a toast to him. I think he would have approved of the combo. So, here's to Paul, may he rest in peace.

Almost half way through this bowl of circa year 2000 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.

Come on guys. Brunello and I can't be the only burley smokers out there. No burley, light up a bowl of your fav as a memorial to Paul. Even if it's Mixture # 79. I promise no razzing like we used to do with Paul. Second bowl will be some codger burley, SWR in a cob.
 
Continuing the Burley theme for today: C&D Kelly's Coin in a MM Mark Twain cob. Probably do something milder next, maybe Sutliff Match Edgeworth.
 
Now smoking Wilke Rum and Maple in a straight smooth with a tobacco leaf carving on the bottom left, dark brown 1980s Sir Brent pot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Bru, how was the Dark Burley. May have to put that in my next TAD order.
 
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and have about a third of a bowl left of Granger in an undated straight smooth medium brown Comoy’s Tradition 110B billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. A cup of hot tea is my drink.

Not far from finishing this bowl of RO Acadian VaPer in a smooth medium brown, medium bend 1950s B.B.B. Own Make 307 apple with a sterling silver band and black vulcanite saddle stem. Almost time for my weekly Zoom chat.

Not far from finishing this bowl of Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a black sandblasted straight 1998 XXX Ashton lovat with a black acrylic saddle stem. Cold rain and wind doesn't want to stop. At least it's not ice.

Now smoking Watch City Java! Java! in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a brown pearl acrylic saddle stem.
