Smoking some 1980s Eicken Flake in a 1900 silver banded meerschaum 'cutty' pipe with Redmanol stem - this stuff tastes like stewed fruit or figs and I am worried it might somehow smother my carefully cultivated Rose Geranium ghost!

2019 Astley’s #44 Dark VA Flake in a Rossi Lucca #8121 EX Bent Pot
Morning bowl of pure VA in a Roadtown bent bamboo billiard to get the juices flowing with some MCT infused coffee before hitting the paperwork.
Hope yall have a great day!

Enjoyed a bowl of C&D John Marr on the morning commute in Baracinni Mare Blue ...this pipe, for some reason, almost always delivers amazing smokes ...John Marr really has some really nice Virginias in it, IMO.
Haddo’s in a Ropp Vintage Belge with natural horn stem. 
Frog Morton's Cellar in a Donegal Rocky B10.
2019 MB HH Burley Flake in a Barling Londoner #6279 Pot w/ a saddle bit.
Rouxgaroux in the Bones Poker with coffee is a fine start to the day. 
That is a handsome birdhouse behind that lovely pipe! What birds does it cater to?
️Nice looking Roadtown! Is the shank actual bamboo or carved briar? I picked up a canadian from them a couple years ago and am quite satisfied with it.
Fresh but dried Sutliffe 507-C in the Vauen Olaf bent egg with 9mm filter; columbian coffee and light cream accompaniment followed later by two eggs over easy and waffles with maple syrup. A rare treat.
Kaywoodie Pup with some of one of my first tries at home mixing: Ubdecided (BLWB, Yorktown, Habana Daydream and a spritz of Match Windsor 805).
On this last day of April, I am enjoying a bowl of Iwan Ries Old Colonial in my Savinelli Luxor and plan to have some V.I.P. Match soon.
Wilke 179, a really awesome British blend in a Stanwell 2nd which is a great smoker 
Love that pipe and your blade. I had the same knife and passed it down to my oldest son, it’s now his EDC.

Penny Farthing in the little meer. Listening to Bing sing some old cowhand songs while the blue dog sleeps through another day of adventures.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Watching Mad Dog Russo. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Good day all! Missed posting the past several days, but nothing to report other than the savoring of large amounts of Brit Flakes, namely GH Ennerdale and Brown Flake Aromatic. Starting today by trying to break out of the rut with KBV Redline in an Upshall sandblast Canadian size 4.
