It was free from P&C when you bought a pound of mac barren a while back. They look nice, but eh they are ok if it is one you open daily. I tossed a pound of Plumcake into it.

Pegasus in an IMP. A super belated Happy Birthday to @JoeW 
Near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2016 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown post-1964 Parker Super Bruyere 88/F group 3 bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. Abner the Eager showed up a while ago, ate and snoozed on my lap before I got up to get this smoke. Now, he's on m'lady's lap.
A bowl of MB Classic Rollcake in a Jirsa 210.
Back to the shop, unloaded and ready to fire up a bowl of burley-fwd oriental in a Kevin Arthur to take out in the sun. Yard time...
Heading to the Eastfarthing with my Dwarf Cobbit.
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.
Now smoking my Meerschaum Market - Lee Van Cleef meer with a mixture of Mac Baren - Mature Virginia, Mac Baren - HH Old Dark Fired, and St. Bruno - Ready Rub.
Late morning smoke in the new little Peterson Dublin. After the two initial break-in bowls of SP Whiskey, my go-to break in fodder, I smoked a bowlful of Smokers' Pride Classic, a burley mix infused with a bit of vanilla. Had a very nice smoke, pulled just shy of 50 minutes with it, with a fairly fast burning tobacco. Could also taste a little hint of the topping. Surprised at the ease of break-in with the Pete, as mentioned before, unlike some of my past experiences. This pipe is weaning fast indeed.
I had an almost identical break-in experience with my System Standard. It, too, smoked well from almost from the start. This pipe is also responding in a very similar manner with an independent very large bowl (briar) for my Falcon. It immediately liked plain and aro-codger blends, and eventually took well to these and some aromatics. I think that's what this pipe will like, too. We'll see in a day or two while I give it a rest. Love the sandblast. It remains unscorched! 
KBV "Study in Scarlet" MM Rob Roy Cob with a Forever Stem
Brown Flake Scented in a Radice Silk Cut
Bowl nine in the A. Cevik canine, really enjoying this stuff.
Peterson Royal Yacht in my MM Legend
sounds pretty good. What ratio of the blends did you use?
