Inverted terra cotta pots? How clever!
Now smoking first production Watch City English Ernie-ental in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem. Cleaning pipes while I watch game two of the Orioles-Twins game.
Indeed. I was thinking of building one out of wood products in the shop, but alas time became the constraint, so i bought the pots and went straight to the painting. Filled the bottom pot with concrete and an anchor bolt. Picked up a solar garden light for the top. Poured the little slab in place the day of and set it with the shells embedded. We gathered the shells from Jacksonville, Pensacola and Galveston beaches together on our last trip down south a month or so ago. The ballast stone were leftovers from when i was doing the dirt work while building the house originally. She's happy. But she's always got one more project on the horizon. haha Next one will be a pergola for her vines...
Ellipsis in a Comoy's straight grain Canadian.
Gawith Hoggarth Kendal Mixed in a Falcon Extra with a Hunter Dublin bowl, on a very warm and humid 89°F afternoon. 
2017 Capstan Blue Flake in a lattice Meer.
Now smoking Wilke Back Bay w/o perique in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Dublin Sterling Canadian 264 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. This is my other 264 Pete. Wish I had one with a p-lip. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Dunhill My Mixture 965 from 2015 in my Hardcastle Royal Bruyere billiard.
I haven’t smoked English blends in quite awhile, but picked the 965 this afternoon. It has a nice room note, and is an old favorite of mine. I believe it has improved with age. I have a new can of the Peterson production which I may open tomorrow for comparison.

Just finishing Tabac De La Semois Le Petit Robin in a Ropp Mid-Century Sandblasted Dublin (M513) with a cup of black tea.
MacBarens Classic loose cut in a Savinelli Impero for the end of the day.
Giving Dreams of Kadath another go in an unnamed blasted chunky briar. So far, so good...
GLP Ellipsis Flake in a Pete 9B
Margate in a CF Ryan Alden

Headed home.
Headed home.
Enjoyed a way too short snooze, and then smoked a bowl of year 2012 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth dark brown Algerian briar 1916 Barling The Hunt with beautiful silver work and a black vulcanite saddle stem with an orific bit.
Penzance in a Genod bulldog
While looking through my pipes today, I remembered that I DO have another aromatic pipe. Last year I cleaned up this EXTREMELY grungy Darnley pipe. It was made in England and is shape number 814T....thats all I know. This was maybe one of the dirtiest pipes I ever found in sn ebay lot. But, under the grime was a neat looking and great smoking pipe. I'm currently smoking Cult BRM in it....again today. 
Nice work on the ornament judging from the siding on the house that I can see, it's pretty meticulous, as would be the rest of the home as well. Very envious of those with practical skills!
