Relaxing after a wonderful rib-eye steak, sweet corn and masked potatoes dinner with a bowl of Old Dark Fired in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite stem. Watching Smokey and the Bandit, the only good movie in the series.

Good morning to you all from Athens-Greece.




The autumn signs in our beach [my house is 30m away from it].




I am smoking Skandinavik Mixture.

Peretti's DD, Thanks to a member of the BoB I'm now hooked on this wonderful Burley blend.

Pipe of choice: one of my favorite chubby pots.  It's the LaStrada handmade/carved pot with a 7/8" diameter chamber and the perfect depth for any flake blend as well. Feels great in the hand due to the oval shank and this pipe can be clenched for a long period of time because of the wide comfortable stem.

Not far from finishing 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. Simply Lemonade is my drink.

Now smoking Wessex Gold Brick in a smooth 2002 medium bend eight sided panel top straight grain Rinaldo Collection Silver Line F Egea 05 Titania bulldog with a black acrylic stem. Got a plug of it, but not quite all of it fit in a jar, so I have enough for a couple of bowls while I age the rest of the brick.

Drucquer & Sons Inns of Court in my restored Ben Wade Billiard pipe.

Almost half way through this bowl of Peterson Summertime Blend 2015 in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black vulcanite stem. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Time for Mad Dog Russo.

Almost finished smoking D&R Ryback Gold in a 1980 medium bend black sandblasted silver band Peterson Donegal 805 Bulldog and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. This blend taste good, but burns fast. Small bowl, too, but I'm almost finished with the sample.

Now smoking year 1936 Briggs Mixture in a 1977 straight black rusticated Sir Brent billiard with a silver band repair and a brown pearl grey acrylic stem. A bottle of Bubble Up soda is my drink. Just got eleven new to me blends to review. Have to figure out what pipes to smoke them in.
