C&D Bayou Morning in my BL SS Savinelli Series III Lovat. I couldn't be more pleased with this pipe. My SS nailed it! An excellent and relaxing smoke this warm winter morning.

Great Outdoors in a new Peterson Killarney 230. Haven't had much success with the 230 shape in the past. Narrow bowl with interesting dimensions. Too, Peterson often damages the internal stem on full bent pipes. This one is quite restricted but turned out to be functional though a pipe cleaner will only pass in one direction. Sure wish they would teach the lads how to properly bend a stem without crushing the passage.

These two nail it for me. If I'm "working" on associations, instead of just letting the bowl happen, I'm missing out on the magic of the pipe. When I'm enjoying a bowl properly, my mind is roaming free, not being held captive by things in my immediate awareness. The pipe should work for me, not the other way around.

I realise that might sound a bit pretentious. It's not intended to be. In fact I often have no idea what I'm smoking. As my "live blend" tins just say, "Aro", "Vir/Per", "Misc" etc, I frequently forget what blend is actually in it. Today, I'm smoking my Falcon with whatever is in the Aro tin. I think it's GH American Delite, but I could be wrong. Whatever it is, I'm enjoying it, and my mind is free to roam.

Yes, that is exactly it. The pipe sets your mind free for a bit. Very therapeutic in my opinion.

Being British, I always read that as stubby arse.

This evening smoking WC Rouxgaroux in a Radice Rind Billiard w/faux bamboo shank, a fine smoker. Then Esoterica And So To Bed in a ‘49 Dunhill Shell LB F/T, a good match of tobacco and pipe.

I’d rather have a stubby arse than a stubby poker.

My first pipe of the New Year and first time using my new tamper per Secret Santa, good job Santa, it’s perfectly weighted

I finally got my office at the church completely cleared out and the computer scrubbed. It is amazing how much stuff you can accumulate in 14.5 years of a vocation, especially one that is book centric. Now I am completely retired. So for some smokes to mark the occasion. Up first is Wilke Lizzie Blood Red Virginia in an Abe Herbaugh brandy with a bamboo shank. Next is Pembroke in the Askwith Morta. Finally G.L. Pease Spark Plug in a Savinelli Siena 320 KS.

LLRR and some HH Rustica in a Savinelli Series III 207 that just arrived this morning. Smaller Straight pipes are beginning to appeal to me more and more...
