Hey, good to see you, Bakker!
Pipe Of The Day (POTD)
- Thread starter jwhite
- Start date
I have been waiting to do this for a very long time. Chelsea Morning in a Bob White basket billiard with a cup of Major Dickason’s coffee in the back yard. Now THIS is what Sunday mornings are for!

Gawith Hoggarth Bosun Flake
I wonder if they ever spelled it Boatswain?

Some Tinder Box VBL, Black Cavendish obviously, in one of my favorites, a thick-walled sitter Lorenzo. Either I packed it too tightly, or this stuff is too old or thick to burn right. I had to keep relighting and drawing hard. At last I gave up, knocked it out, let it cool a bit, then loaded a half bowl of Half and Half. Much much better!
I'll have to post a pic to see what you think the shape of this pipe is. But I've enjoyed the pipe since 1985, repaired the cracked shank, and replaced the vulcanite stem with a black acrylic.

GBD Saddle bit billiard/PA
SPC Mississippi River SR in a Bones. I think it’s a “Balldesian” but I got it as a Random Gnarly. Good smoker and I love this tobacco.
Stonehaven in a Savinelli
This evening: Watch City Off the Rails in a Radice Rind Billiard with a faux bamboo shank; WC Terrapin Station in a Radice Classic 35 smooth straight bulldog.
No pipe tonight, as I got home fairly late, and the wind was kicking up quite a bit with rain on the way. I contented myself with running a pipe cleaner dipped in sweetener (cheap vanilla extract, if matters) through the pipe I plan to smoke next, my Savinelli near-straight sandblast billiard, and leaving it apart to air out completely. Tomorrow or Wednesday, who knows. And my small tin of EGR Blend should be here this week, too!
I added one pipe to this evening’s rotation, a no name Meer straight prince filled with Father Dempsey. It is March after all.
Had some Bob's Chocolate Flake in My meer... That was a few hours ago. I didn't notice it while smoking but the post smoke taste is definitely some GH essensce ... Not over poweringm kind of enjoyable but it's the cologne around me right now.
This afternoon on a sunny day: Peretti Cuban Mixture in a GBD St Claude Number 5, a small billiard with a thin saddle stem. Then Peretti 111, one of their Burley blends in a falcon with a meer bulldog bowl.

With a great avatar comes great misidentification
In my service Boatswain is an enlisted term. Bosun is reserved for the Chief Warrent Officers.
You can call a Boatswains Mate "Boats" but you'd never refer to a Bosun as anything other than "Bosun" or "sir".

Interesting ... do you pronounce them the same?
I was under the impression, that Bosun was just the "idle" spelling of Boatswain (or the spelling for those who have heard the word, but may never seen it written in full), much like Gunwale is sometime seen written as Gunnel. Maybe things evolved differently on your side of the puddle.
About to try my new Briarworks out with some PS LTF.
Got out my very first pipe, the Oom Paul "sitter" that I bought at Tinder Box way back in late '83 or early '84. Turns out it is a Lorenzo also, a model labeled "Ambra." (Funny how I never cared much about brands or models hen, I was all about the shapes.) A half bowl of Half & Half (I'm getting to like this stuff quite a bit) for 20 minutes as I watched the cold rain fall outside the screen door . . . a chance to reflect and unwind.
GLP Union Square in a Yeti Blowfish. Just what I needed after a long weekend running a curling tournament.
