Five Brothers in my Vauen Basic 4494 black sandblast straight billiard with acrylic saddle stem and 9mm filter.
I got this estate for 15 EUR. When it came it smelled strongly of berry aromatic and had thick cake. After reaming it down to what should have been the original walls of the bowl I found that heat fissures had appeared all over from the pipe tobacco well exceeding the burning point of briar.
I had to scrape the bowl and clean the pipe for hours. After I was satisfied with the cleaning and reaming, I applied CaneRodPiper’s pipe mortar mixture to cover the remaining bare wood and deep heat fissures.
I can gladly report that the ghost has been exorcised and I have a wonderful large pipe to use while doing work outside.
Got a surprise in the mail today. My first meerschaum. Was scheduled to arrive Monday. Just finished a bowl of Tabac Manil Le Petit Robin. I’m pleased with the pipe so far.
Watching UFC Fight Night. Having Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead in an Unbranded, Rusticated, Octagonal Paneled Magnum. This 10" behemoth sports a 1.125" wide chamber. It doesn’t quite have the shank curve to be an LC, but it comes close with its overall profile. Being eight-sided, with a huge chamber, makes it a perfect UFC pipe for me.
Bayou morning flake in a Mimmo Provenzano.
HU Tobacco - Old Fredder's Broken Flake in a Peterson and a Cup of Joe.
8 bags of grot off the streets today; got paid GBP5 for my effort; given a bottle of water / can of cider / bought a few pints of beer for my efforts today!
G&H Bob’s Chocolate Flake in a Jobey 110
@pipeboy122 Smoked a full packet of it in my clays!
Downed a cigarette / cigarillo in one big drag!
RLP-6 in a first period Ill Ceppo Canadian.
A third of a bowl left of 2015 Mac Baren Modern Virginia in a medium bend, smooth dark brown 1950s Peterson 999 Shamrock chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Wife is hosting a party with friends tonight. Yay.
I'll be enjoying some more Hogshead in this Alexander Hasty, with a Chai tea and water. Think I'll need something stronger as the night goes on.

Still spending time with the newly opened aged tins of Fog City Selection stuff in various pipes.
Right now it's a bowl of 2010 Montgomery in the Gepetto....
