Smoking some GL Pease Jack Knife Ready-Rubbed in a McCranie pipe. Nice. It's just hard to beat a good ol' billiard. |

WCC Old Dominion in a MM Rob Roy Washington. Close. Maybe we'll matchat telepathically some day! I've never tried any of Watch City's blends. There are a few that might be in my wheelhouse. As far as pipes go, we could both be paid spokespersons for Missouri Meerschaum, That guy at Watch City does good work. I have a handful of their blends. Some are more to my taste than others, but there's really not a darn thing wrong with any of them. |

Their motto is "We're not rude, we're Boston nice," but that's just tongue in cheek. He'll chat with customers about his blends all day. He steered me towards a couple I really love. He might do the same on the telephone, but idk. Peretti's, however, is Boston nice. I'm a damn Yankee and it's like getting state secrets from a CIA spook when you ask about blends. At least they suggested blends it turns out I like when I gave my preferences. Sutliff ERR Match in a Legend with Lipton in a mug. Good morning! |

April 9th.
Today is a day of leisure.
C&D Seadog in the sc-23.
Followed by blockade runner in the pete x105 spigot.
Later today is probably a giant bowl of spc plum pudding
As luck would have it my tobacco order arrived and I swapped out the SPC for GLPease gaslight...savinelli antique ahell 515 for reasons.. first time with the blend so keeping the good pipes reserved. The Savi has a nice taper bowl which has a way of lifting the intensity a bit. As I keep my pipes well tended the ghosting issue is minimal which I think the Savi will give a fair treatment to the new blend despite being one of my "working" pipes.
The vauen volcano on the other hand has so many overtones it got a cleaning and has to sleep for a few months..( I beat it hard as my first pipe in its defense. Learned germans build heavy pipes, and I dont like the filters...yuk! So hard to keep that big cavity clean and spigots are the only proper moisture control i have ever found..just dump it out!)
Anyhoo I digress,

SH Cyrian Limited in my RobE Freehand. Good lord. That's some serious bird's eye. And the bird must be an eagle, cuz the pipe looks like you could skin a fish with it. |
