Relaxing after a wonderful pot roast dinner with a bowl of Strang in a 2003 smooth medium bend straight grain Ardor Venere Extra signed by Dorelio Rovera Dublin and a black acrylic stem. Astros and Dodgers are scoreless in the 3rd.
 
GLP Telegraph Hill Dated 2006
Pipe of choice: New version brown anodized Falcon pipe with a slight bend to the stem. The bowl in use now is the Algerian

Last smoke of the day is Wilke No. 194 in a 1979 no name French briar smooth full bend egg with a black vulcanite stem. Watching Ellery Queen.
The 1975-76 version with Jim Hutton (love that series), the 50s version, or the Peter Lawford movie (or one of the old movies)?

Anyway, this morning Kendal Dark Vanilla in an MM Country Gentleman; this afternoon the last of some Speakeasy in a Pioneer meer Poker; this evening, Sansepolcro in a Viking Apple
 
Now smoking RO Perique Series Blend B-41 in my trusty 1970s smooth three quarter bend Peterson System Standard 305 with a black vulcanite stem and p-lip. Dodgers lost the no-hitter and just tied the score at 1-1 in the 7th.

The one with Jim Hutton. One of my favorite TV series of all time. A durn shame it only lasted one season. The Peter Lawford and old Ellery Queen movies weren't very good. The 50s TV shows - the few that seem to exist - are mediocre. The radio series, only seven of which are available, were good. Too bad the son of one of two men who wrote as Ellery Queen won't release them. I've read every story in which the Ellery Queen character appears.

I haven't seen the movies from the 40s, and haven't listened to the radio shows, but totally agree about Lawford movie & 50s shows
 
Now smoking P&W #515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite stem. Dodgers will win because the Astros put losing pitcher Giles in a tie game. They should have known better.

You can see a few of the '40s movies on YouTube if they haven't been taken down. You can get the Queen radio shows at Archive.org.
