Now smoking Director’s Cut in a smooth straight early 1960s 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. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.
 
50/50 mix of PH DSF and Starbuzz Citrus Mint in a hookah.

OGS in my humble estate Sav 316 Oscar Lucite after b'fast. Late morn saw some BBQ blend in the estate Brebbia 'bash. Mid-afternoon had a quick bowl of CH in the Mark Twain cob. Have some St' Bruno ready rubbed on tap for after supper, which the newly acquired Wiley Galleon estate seems to love. Listening to André Rieu waltzes just now. So sue me!


Cheers,

RR

GREEK INDEPENDENCE WAR of 1821

As today at 25 March 1821 the Orthodox Greeks officially started the revolution against the ottoman empire fighting turks and their allies [muslims from albania,bosnia,egypt,croatia etc] to end a 400 year old tyranny.
Their motto was "Freedom of Death" and in few areas that the turks never manage to invade was "Victory or Death".
