A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2017 Savinelli Doblone d’Oro in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Chatting with the fella who gifted me the pipe.

Almost half way through this bowl of Wilke Peanut Butter in a 2016 quarter bend Royal Meerschaum fluted paneled brandy meer with a black, gold and cream swirl amber colored acrylic tapered stem. Found other stuff to do, so I had to have another smoke before bed time.

Yes, apparently legal on eBay but stinks that someone can come in during the last few seconds and as in my case increase the price by twenty quid on a Calabash I would've got for eighty odd.
I feel you on that. Mind you I’d be lying if I said I haven’t done the same to plenty of other people, it’s just not fair when it’s us is it.

Smoking circa 2005 Gawith Hoggarth Dark Plug in an Estella 511 KS. Normally only break out this plug once a year on my bday (end of March), but a good friend surprised me over the weekend with a late bday gift. I had mentioned to him awhile back how difficult it was to cut these plugs, and he talked to his dad (an artisan knife maker) into making me a knife suitable to cutting plug tobacco. I was gifted this wonderful piece Friday night and wanted to test it on Dark Plug, one of the densest plugs out there! Was a fitting test for the new knife, and it passed with flying colors!
