Beautiful spring weather calls for some Virginia’s. Enjoying some 2022 Mature C&D Virginia (from Chicago Pipe Show) in a Comoy Guildhall. This blend has some wonderful caramel notes!
Haunted Bookshop Cake in an Irish Seconds System 302.
Cherokee in a Brebbia, tea and a book 
Did a set of walking reps on this beautiful sunny day, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Abner the Eager spent the night inside, and is still here. He's been wanting a lot of attention.

Now that I'm all caught up on the last couple weeks of the thread:
@PaulRVA - that new radice bulldog is absolutely gorgeous
@gord - strong nicotine at night knocks me out, esp after food
@Chieftiabo - beautiful volkan

I’ve just been smoking through a 1/4 lb bag of Kendal Mixed in this Tekin and an AGovem meerschaum. Same tobacco and pipes for a couple of weeks or so for the most part.
Almost through another tin of 2018 University Flake…
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am near the half way mark of this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Peruvian Macchu Picchu, neat, is my drink. All the cats ate, Abner the Eager went outside to enjoy the weather with the other ferals, and I'm going to clean a few pipes very soon.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Broken Scotch Cake in a Johs Partial Rusticated Bent Billard with a cup of black tea.
GH Bosun Cut Plug in a Peterson House Pipe and Diet Coke on the side.
Not sure if I've seen this one before, but it is exquisite. Everything just works, from the bowl grain, shape, on down. Very nice background chosen for photo, too!
I want a Savinelli Punto Oro straight billiard or Canadian. Just slightly too expensive for me just yet. One day though, it's on my list
I agree totally. I would not have appreciated this pipe even 6 months ago. I simply did not have the smoking skills or the tobacco knowledge that I do now - thanks to the guys in this thread, I might add. And here's to another year of growth!
Afternoon break (after getting a bunch of errands done) time. Quickie bowl of Honor Blend in a Dulger meer.
Three bowls of Chopped Cigar (wrapper) Leaf from C&D. A good mixer, but good straight up if you like the wrapper leaf on your cigars, indicated if you prefer the taste of smaller gauge cigars like coronas to the big fatties like gordos, which have a much higher percentage of long leaf fillers. Carey Magic Inch large slightly bent pot to again aid with the tongue bite issues.
I like flipping the usual idea here, and just showing the tobacco, while we often just show the pipe, and mention the tobacco. That stuff is PRETTY, and deserves its own pic.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Uhle’s 00 in a 2015 straight smooth dark brown Peterson Irish Harp 150 bulldog with a silver band and a tapered acrylic cumberland fish tail stem. Finally getting around to pipe cleaning. Watching the Nats-Mets game.
