A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Time for some walking reps.

Finishing off the day with a Zenz Blasted Stacked Pick-Axe and ODF.
2015 Dark Strong Kentucky in a J.T. Cooke Poker.
2012 Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug in a Jack Howell Billiard.
Enjoyed a bowl of P.S. Luxury Navy Flakes after lunch in my Marxman's Jumbo Bench Made.
So... 1st off, it was a gift from the GF and I, as a rule, never spend more than $100 on a pipe. I'm a cheapskate and I'm ok with that, lol. But, almost disappointingly to my frugal heart, it does smoke better than any other pipe I own. Maybe just barely better than my next 2 nicest estates, a handmade Savinelli Linea 76 and a Castleford made in a "Dunhill factory", whatever that means. But still better. I'm happy with the finish and the acrylic fishtail, plus it seems to have nearly as deep a well as a system pipe. Not sure if it smokes any better than a current high grade system, as I've never smoked any other high grade pete, but I would say it smokes exceptionally well.
Also, I like the dark racing green of the spigot MUCH more than the krylon-ish finish on the last few green stPaddy's lines, so that's cool too.
Good morning all. Smoking Peterson's Standard Mixture in an unfinished Savinelli.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of old Player’s Medium Navy Cut in a 1980s White Pipe straight lattice apple meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Have enough for one more bowl. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
How do you smoke that shape? I’ve never been able to make it work well for me.
Latergram of some HU Aus Dem Krater Plug in a Rad Davis XXL Red Sandblasted Rhodesian with smooth rim and cumberland stem.
Some Capstan Yellow Flake in a Atlas Powder Co. I hit a jackpot of 6 of these pipes and each one was a tad different. As if they were made over a year or 2 apart from each other.
1980's Mac Baren Navy Flake in an unstamped panel-cutty that I believe to be a Tao & Ilstead freehand.
Daughters and Ryan Ramback in a Kaywoodie Rhodesian from 2020
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 1989 H. Simmons Down The Road Mix in a black pebble finish straight 2003 Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano lovat with a black acrylic saddle stem. Watching the Braves-Cubs as I make review notes on this blend.
WCC Rhythm and Blues in a bent MM Mark Twain, drinking black coffee.
