HB in the Brebbia Ninja Noce 1001. Black Coffee and a surprisingly cool morning.
2020 Union Square in a Savinelli 802 Canadian.
Rattray's Brown Clunee in the Peterson Dracula 221. This pipe was on the scrap row, nearly binned it owing to issues. The tenon fit snug as new, but the briar began to shrink and the stem got loose quite quickly. It was often 50/50 if the bowl would fall off mid smoke, many a dink in the finish as a result. The join leaked, the pipe gurgled from the charring light onward, it was wretched.
However, today I checked the price (about €130?) and decided it worthy of a go at fixing. I redrilled the draught hole, wiggled the drill to flare it at the mortise end, then wrapped a layer of PTFE thread tape round the tenon. Voila! Different animal. Second test run here, will pull apart after and see if the tape will be high maintenance.

Two Flakes from a cutter top in an 1899 Pete. The full tin opening is over on the tin opening thread that displays open tins right after opening tins so people can see what an open tin looks like right after being opened and in a tin.
Huber English Perique in a Karl Erik. 
Peterson 309 with a Heritage stain. Cleaning out the bowl with a neutral tobacco - Telescopes. Always good a neutralizing ghosts of other tobaccos.

Starting my day out with Boswell’s English Biscuit in my Boswell pipe and sipping my morning coffee. Happy Sunday everyone!
Waking bowl was Burley Flake #2 in a Fikri Baki meer with bamboo. Took the dog for a walk and did the breakfast thing. Now finishing up the morning coffee with Jupiter Slices in a GH Zhang octagonal panel.
WDC amber stemmed meerschaum from 1888 with J Dengler Bagdad.
University Flake in the cobbled together J07.
We’ve got a little sun this morning, but supposed to blow up to 40mph with isolated thunderstorms and a high of 80* today.
