    Half way in to my first cocktail (one of my own creation I call “Nuts Deluxe”), I’m doing some 5100 in the Radice Clear E pencil shank Canadian with SS tenon and red brindle ebonite. This pipe always makes me feel cheerful. Hope the day is going smooth and enjoyable for everyone!

    ‘16 Gawith Sams Flake in the Kyriazanos prince w/ Argentium silver. Sams flake, I think, is one of my favorite accompaniments with coffee. The light application of tonquin pairs well with the acidity and bitterness of the coffee.

    While not my personal flavor, two of my pipe club friends had a Cooper S. Fun little cars for sure! Local service/maintenance became an issue for them both, so they were traded in eventually. I know they both miss their old Minis.
