Half way through the last of this tin of year 2014 Astley’s No. 109 Medium Flake in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LBS Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Dunno what Va. I'll smoke in this pipe next.
Currently relaxing after work and smoking some KBV (Ken Byron Ventures) Burley Morning Pipe in a big Dr. Grabow Riviera rusticated pot.
Enjoyed this yesterday so much, it’s a repeat today.
KW Meer with C&D,Folklore and a cup of Pu’erh tea.

@Fralphog Thanks for the sheep photos. Have you ever smoked a clay?
Popped a tin of Nov. 2021 GL Pease Montgomery this morning. Incredible stuff. I don't see this tin lasting long haha
What a beautiful pipe.
I don’t own one yet. The next time I order some baccy, I’ll have to look at ‘em again.
Passing the quarter mark on the last of this sample of H&H El Nino Reposado Marquee in a full bend black pebble finish 2001 Rinaldo Lithos YY8 Titania Silver Line egg with a tapered black acrylic stem. Just finished cleaning some pipes.
Peterson University flake in a family era Sasieni four dot Liverpool.
A beautiful day in the "Land of Enchantment" a big bowl of Penzance which is the last of a bag that was generously given to me by a generous member. in a Castello trademark 4k and my family's horses, the white is named Galaxy and is my oldest daughters and the brown is Pinto and belongs to the mother n law. We have 1 more named Padre but he's a bit old on not in such a hurry to eat my hair. Oh and @PipeIT do i look younger or older today.View attachment 215214

Esoterica Margate from August 2019 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
I don’t come from a depth of experience, but I’ve yet to find something that my LFR doesn’t play well with!
This one goes out to @kitchnsink52 and all those dreaming of inexpensive pipes, don’t worry about it! 
Smoking in an inexpensive 1931-1967 BBB Wyteway Billiard 1931-1967 with a vulcanite stem, GLP Telegraph Hill.
The pipe probably sold originally, I’m guessing for $7 upwards, to maybe $20, as an estate pipe, maybe today for $60$-$70.
Remember: ‘Price doesn’t always equate to a better smoker’!
For all the newer pipe smokers that haven’t seen this article, be sure to read; ‘The Myth of Brand and Maker in Pipesmoking’, by Dr. Fred Hanna.
Be well everyone!

You said it brother. I have a lot of pipes and some really nice pieces from around the world, but I love my old Dr. Grabow's. Good solid blue collar pipes.This one goes out to @kitchnsink52 and all those dreaming of inexpensive pipes, don’t worry about it!
