That is a beautiful Billiard. I need to go further down the Barling's rabbit hole.
Happy birthday!
GLP Telegraph Hill in a Falcon.
McC 2015 in a RobE hurricane pipe. It's such a shame this blend is gone.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am half way through this bowl of year 2014 Esoterica Tilbury in a straight smooth Danish gold straight grain undated W.O. Larsen Hand Made in Denmark dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. Ice water and bergs is my drink on this quiet, peaceful evening.
Peterson Old Dublin in a pre-Lane Charatan Special brandy.
That would be a good idea, man. Those Family Era Barlings are better than most pipes of their time.
Now smoking and reviewing KBV Fuzzy’s Pud Deluxe in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem. Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave were at the back door for food. They've both eaten, and are wandering about the den and kitchen. Harry the Hairy ate earlier, and didn't move when I opened the door. Didn't see Abner the Eager today.
MM Country Gentleman in a 2022 Boswell 12 ga. XL straight smooth billiard with military mount and tortoiseshell saddle stem.
About to light up my Meerschaum Market bent apple meer with some Mac Baren - HH Highland Blend.
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69. 
After dinner smoke of 5Bros in a pipe inspired by @Skink’s earlier post, my Ropp 513. Interesting that mine was bought as an estate, and listed as a1950, which is stamped prominently on bottom of shank next to Ropp, and twice the size of the 513 stamping right next to stem along with the “made in France”. I don’t think I ever noticed the 513 until seeing skink’s pipe.
Horrible pic of the pipe, not bad of the pullets…
Better pic of the pipe

Just finished a couple of house chores, and this bowl of KBV Fuzzy’s Pud Deluxe in a smooth straight 1950s Kaywoodie Colt Dublin meer with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Have a good handle on this blend now.
Now smoking and reviewing an upcoming in the near future Watch City Blend in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic saddle stem. I'd tell you the name of the blend, but Ernie Q. has trained and unhousebroken tattletail ostriches peeking around every corner of my den just ready to snitch on me.
Last smoke of the day is year 2020 C&D Virginia Flake in a straight medium brown 1922-1937 Irish Free State era Peterson 222 bullcap with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Old Joe Krantz in a Den's Freehand.
