C&D Habana Daydream in an Ashton LX Brindle Bent Dublin.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Rotary Navy Cut in a post-1938 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 bulldog with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Nigel Bruce smoked this model in two Sherlock Holmes movies. Please consider asking Shane Ireland at Smoking Pipes and Peterson to bring the pipe back into production. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Having Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake in a Porsche Design P'3613 Horn.

Planning to visit pubs with real fires over the winter as well!
C&D Winchester in a Peterson bent Aran 69.
Out and about with the Castello and OD
I do have a bag of Tilbury and I’m very fond of it, that’s really good to know and I’ll definitely tell you what I think when I get my hands on a tin. Germain’s is pretty hard to find even here but I have a secret source
One last thing, it’s my understanding their blends have been changing over the years, so I’m not sure what these blends were like years ago, compared to more recent blends.
I’ve smoked around 4 different Esoterica blends, Tilbury 2021, the rest 2022, and 4 different Germain’s blends, 2022, 2023.
The Esoterica blends have stronger casings, and the Germain’s have all come across with more subtle casings, is except B.K. Flake, which has a somewhat stronger casing.
So my experience so far, is that Esoterica has been a stronger line, and Germain’s a more delicate subtle line, and I’m not sure if that’s how J.F. Germain & Son has created them to be.
@Bbailey324 I was smoking C&D Winchester in my clay pipe at the Battle of Nantwich re-enactment last January - before I broke the clay emptying the ash out in a pub ashtray...
Live your best life @halfdan !@Sobrbiker I've booked a spa break at Buxton Crescent:
Might get some refills from Day Zero & loose Gawith Hoggarth from Appleyards on my way home:
Buxton Crescent
Established 1871; they've probably been selling clay pipes & Gawith tobacco since then
Planning to visit pubs with real fires over the winter as well!
Last one before shifting gears into English blends…

The sun came today and wind was lite. Took a stroll around the yard surveying and noting of what needs to be completed before Winter. Enjoyed some 2021 C&D Red Virginia Cavendish that has settled into an amazing smoke. Super smooth, subtly sweet with some baked bread notes. Employed the KW billiard Meer- a great little pipe indeed.
My Mom decided I could have these Hummel figurines when I visited her a few weeks ago. I’ve loved them since I was a child. They were purchased in Germany back in 1960 two years before I was born there in Augsburg. Dad was stationed there then.

Now smoking 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.
Autumn is Latakia time for me. Stokkebye Proper English in an old Rossi, with my smoking buddy
No pics today (not feeling it), but earlier I had Five Brothers in an Old German clay and GLP Stratford in a Moretti. About to fire up a bowl of Autumn Evening in a MM General.
Last night's Cornell and Diehl Burley Flake #1 in the Castello Collection Grade Greatline 1982.
McC 2015 VaPer from an '89 Dunhill Chestnut pot. Enjoying with another cinnamon anaerobic double shot.
