Earlier I had a little Revor plug in a Bantam, there’s some lat in there imho.
I’m having some Pete’s 2019 SR in ‘22 Masta bent billiard at the mo but I’ve loaded the Vauen Luxus up for the last smoke with some Eventide.
Apparently Vauen and Dunhill got into a legal wrangle in the early 20’s about the White Dot. They both started using it around the same time. Dunhill walked away with the international market while Vauen could only use it in Germany and Austria, everywhere else their dot had to be coloured, a grey and a pale blue were chosen. I don’t believe Vauen use them anymore but they were only used on their best pipes which I can easily believe. This thing is a work of art.
Hope no one minds the history lesson but I thought the Dunhill business rather interesting. All credit to pipedia of course.

Rattray’s Old Gowrie in a Peterson Kapp Royal. Splendid Saturday evening smoke.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of D&R Ryback in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Time to do another set of walks.
GH Scotch Flake in a Ryan Alden sandblasted blowfish 
Twisted Flake in Peterson SH Original. GEC35. Was little late today. Dried the flake for an hour and 45 min. Very smooth smoke other than that once when I accidentally inhaled.
MacBaren HH Acadian in a Connoisseur pipe shop straight Apple. 
Enjoyed a tasty navel orange, and am part way through this bowl of Beta Test #2 in a 2002 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend dublin sitter with a small horn ferrule accent and black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
It's a model number of Great Eastern Cutlery knife in the photo.
It's code for: "I'm too lazy to type it out".
Ahhh! Thanks! I’ve seen it in your other posts but never knew what it meant.
Hey Ofa! Join AARP. (It stands for: Acronyms Are a Real Pain)
Enjoying an afternoon bowl of 2019 Union Square in a brand new Savinelli 313 Roma prince. Absolutely loving this shape.
Back porch studying for my P&C license. Having some Sir John's Flake Virginia in a self rusticated billiard.
Had a bowl of Brown Flake Aromatic followed by HH Burley Flake and now im enjoying a bowl of Bosun Cut Plug into a Meer .
