Just finished a bowl of Mac Baren Club Blend in a Stanwell Sixtus straight billiard.
MB Navy Flake in a K&P rusticated Peterson 303 P-lip with coffee.
Not smoking it yet, but with all these pics of Peterson army mounts, I couldn't help pulling the trigger and entering the new world of bent pipes! (I have nothing, except maybe my Savinelli 626 that has much of a bend). Looking forward to it arriving and taking it for a test ride! More pics to come!
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the half way mark of this bowl of year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Pegasus in a Savinelli Dolomiti.
Sillem’s Black in Dr. Grabow’s Royalton.
Half way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
You've made a fine choice (!). I love my Peterson Army Mount 999, the looks, the "feel in hand" & how great it smokes. Having said that, I've always loved my Savinelli Antique Shell 626 with same kudos .... looks, "feel in hand" & (maybe) my best smoking pipe. Neither has the biggest bowl, but both just SO nice. Which is "better"? As John Wayne said once, "I'd hate to have to live on the difference." And since you're entering "the new world of bent pipes", down the line .... WAY down the line .... is the whole genre of Oom Pauls. : ) Oh Yeah...

Just when I thought I couldn’t envy you more
Is your pup a cane corso?
Truman is a Neapolitan Mastiff
He looks absolutely regal. What a handsome beast.
Thanks! SHE is 115 lbs.
Whoops! Sorry, girl!
I would’ve guessed she was heavier as she looks like quite a big dog.
Just finished smoking year 2015 Mac Baren Virginia #1 in a pre-1923 smooth dark brown early Comoy’s Prior (Gros, Grenier, Ostero & Cie.) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Now smoking Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. Hopefully, I'll end a long, busy day with this smoke.
two flakes of LTF fit perfectly for bowl #5 in the new Imp lattice meer sitter. I don't know why it came to mind, but it did. It's been ~38 years? (holy heck!) since I last read it so maybe time to read it again. Absolute mastepiece!
Haha I don’t think anyone has ever envied my pipe collection before. Have I officially made it? I think I just made it.Just when I thought I couldn’t envy you more
