Pipe Of The Day (POTD)

[Kentos]

Probably the last warm day of the year. Enjoyed some Sutliff Ready Rubbed in a Chacom. Later, while shaving my melon with a Lereche Frame Back that hasn’t been in my rotation for years, I was thinking that I should combine these hobbies. I pity the boys that will be coming for my daughter in a couple of years. They’ll show up to a big bald guy shaving his head with a straight on the covered porch (still to be built) while smoking a cigar or pipe and drinking Scotch. (From the bottle of course) That will leave an impression.

With a double barrel leaned against the wall.

A couple of "new to me" blends this eve. Dunhill Royal Yacht from 2014 in a Radice Rind Billiard; then L.J. Peretti BPC in a '49 Dunhill Shell LB F/T. Ice water on the side.

A little bayou morning to warm me bones. Literally and figuratively.

Escudo in a Peterson System 312. All this System talk got me pulling it out.

Just got a tin. Haven’t opened it yet though.

I have 22 tins cellared. It has an almost prophetic reputation for how it improves with age. I can't confirm the reputation...yet...

That said, it is fantastic fresh so I'm very excited to see how it might improve with age.

22 tins of this blend? Holy cow. And I thought I had a problem

Yeah, only 22 tins is definitely a problem. That’s only 2.42 pounds. .

If it's the store I'm thinking of, right off the battlefield, it's my favorite B&M to visit.

You've got me beat, I've only 16 tins left in the cellar. But I do have 17 tins of H&H Marquee Viprati aging, which I consider as good a smoke. I know, heresy, right?

 

[srgjazz]

Just finished some Blairgowrie in my new Peterson System 302. Very cool and dry smoke.

 

[KellyG]

This evening smoking War Horse Ready Cut in an old Peterson 312, I'm working on smoking the floral ghost out of this pipe. Then Watch City One Shot Apricot in a C&D/MM Charles Towne Cobbler. Maybe, if I feel up to a third pipe, some John Bull Royal English in a Icarus smooth stubby bent apple.

.....that’s what I’m talkin’ bout!!

 

[Falcon Eddie]

Yeah, only 22 tins is definitely a problem.

Yeah...where’s the beef?

Just started reading "My Lady Nicotine" again, so I'm enjoying some C&D Yale Mixture in the Baskerville. I've been saving this stuff for when I read the book, so I just opened it a couple of days ago. (There's no age on it; I just got it a couple of months ago.)

I like your Punch doll.

 

[Kilroy6644]

I like your Punch doll.

Thanks. It was a freebie with a P&C order a year or two ago. In fact, I think it was the main reason I ordered anything at all. Which is silly. As if I had some great need (or desire) for a Punch bobblehead.
