Happy Monday! Started the day with a couple bowls of Haunted Bookshop in the Monday cob and coffee on the back porch. It's 58 and sunny with a light breeze here. We're gonna be tagging along with daughter and SIL to a local park. They'll be playing disc golf, we'll be enjoying the walking/lunting. Hope y'all have a great day.

Hello all, Happy Monday. I dug out a jar of 2019 Carolina Red Flake after rummaging through my cellar. This is a favorite of mine and frankly I forgot I had this opened and jarred. Enjoying it in a Savinelli Arlecchino straight billiard. Lovely day by the water but clouds are starting to move in and it’s supposed to be wet for a few days. Wishing all a good day.

Back home from my lunting adventure, where I smoked a couple wind-assisted bowls of Friar's Bayou in a MM Washington cob. Now, I'm basking in the sun on the back porch. Haunted Bookshop in the Monday cob. Sparkling spring water accompanies.

Haunted Bookshop in the Monday cob. Sparkling spring water accompanies. We're doing some basking here, too, out on the deck. It's a beautiful, clear, and sunny 71° right now. Just lit up a bowl of Limerick Flake in the Mark Twain cob fitted with a forever stem and a glass of water on the side.

Dockworker in a Butz Choquin Origine. These are incredibly elegant pipes. I don’t need any more pipes, but you are definitely tempting me to add to the collection.

Smoking a small bowl of Dark Bird’s Eye in a clay pipe, one of two I own.
My neighbor found a fragment of an old clay pipe on the beach in front of my house, around 2 years ago now. He was excited to show me since he knows I smoke a pipe or two. Since then I’ve scanned the beach in vain for a pipe. Prohibition era whiskey bottles? Yep. Old Buddha statuettes? Check. Discarded fishing gear? Yes sir! pipes? Fuhhgettaboudit.
The vintage pics of old fishing skippers show an abundance of pipes. The bay must be hiding a trove of them.
Someday.
Hope you all have a good evening.

That’s fascinating thanks for the background. FWIW - an ancestor of mine was in a Civil War unit, the 23rd Pennsylvania, that patterned itself on the Zouaves. Beautiful pipe!

Thank you. I can take no credit, just a custodian, hope to pass on to another at some point.

The Zouave connection got me. History is a crazy quilt. I was in a hotel in Paris and mentioned to the Algerian bartender my ancestor in Birney’s Zouaves and it was an instant calling card. Good stuff and lucky you.

Good stuff and lucky you. I admit to having known nothing about the Zouave soldiers prior to getting the pipe, but being from a military family, I can appreciate who they were and what valiant fighters they were.
