About half way through this bowl of 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. Suzy and Molly were happy to see me wake up early, and stomped their way ahead of me to the kitchen for some wet food, where upon they decided to be finicky. Well, they settled for dry food, but I know Suzy will eventually cave in, and eat the wet food.

Whacked on my dead tree for a little while this morning, made a good dent and probably got about 8 hours of heat from the good stuff in the wood burner for next winter. Gave it up for the lawn mower and weed eater this afternoon. Smoking Hearth and Home Classic Burley Kake in an MM Country Gent, drinking Coors Light. This one has been out of the can in a flip top for a while. Moisture content is great but I'm enjoying this one less as time goes by. Topping is listed as anise and rum but I'm getting a licorice taste which isn't my game.

Walnut in the first pipe I ever bought. I think it is a Karl Erik reject. Not sure.

Relaxing after a wonderful chicken cordon bleu, green beans, and small potatoes dinner with now smoking the last of this sample of year 1937 Smith’s Glasgow’s Smoking Mixture in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite stem. I'll miss this blend. Watching the Braves-Marlins game.

Hello everybody from Greece, who could stay inside with such a sunny day here in Athens?  The pipe is a Stanwell Majestic but has been rusticated, painted and got a new band, doesn't look fantastic? |
