Maltese Falcon in a Chacom bent bulldog. I've probably smoked half a tin of this and I'm only just now starting to enjoy this blend. Yet another reminder to myself how taste can change.

Steamworks in the Miscoi full bent w/ mammoth.
Having a bowl of Mac Baren London Muxture in a MM Dagner with coffee. 
️. Watching the Paris-Roubaix Men’s race. Again, impressive to see these riders cooking at 40-45kph over cobblestone.

2020 Gawith & Hoggarth Bosun Cut Plug in a Kolding Old Briar 68.
After chanting a lengthy pre-'55 Palm Sunday procession and Mass, this Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake in the Peterson Barley Deluxe 8S feels quite well-earned--as does the brandy-and-soda. Have a wonderful Sunday, y'all.
Off to Mow with a pair of Willard’s one filled with OJK and the other with Kelly’s Coin
So nice to see a couple of Willards
One of the new Pete 309s. My own blend, Telescopes.
Pease Cairo in a Castle Briars Olivewood.
We might need to mob K&P with requests for a new release. It's like the world's chunkiest straight billiard nosewarmer. Everyone calls Peterson's style "muscular"--this shape should be part of a new "Prize-fighter" line of chunky shapes like that.
Tilbury in the Sven Knudsen "Spike" via Pipe Dan.
Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
No smoke this morning as of yet, but will tell you in advance that I'll be lighting up the newest pipe in my rotation, my latest aquisition. the little Peterson Dublin. a true medium bowl, after I get back from Palm Sunday Mass. I'll be loading it with Borkum Riff Dark.
Finally got it broken in, with a series (in the following order) of aro-codgers (for lack of a better name because they are all flavoured tobaccos with some hint of something or other):
Smoker's Pride Whiskey Tobacco (my usual breaking in fodder)
Smoker's Pride Classic (vanilla undertone)
Sir Walter Raleigh (anise undertone), and
Borkum Riff Dark Cavendish (prune/plum undertone)
I went through this progression and went on to the next when I could taste the subtleties of the flavouring and especially the alleged nuttiness of the burleys in the blend, except the BR which is Viginia based.
These are all great tobaccos in their own right, and I love smoking them all, especially the Borkum Riff which I can suck up like a sponge, and I have a good amount of all four, so I think I'll stick to these fodders in this pipe and enjoy them all more often.
The pipe is such a sweet smoker that I'm going to indulge in these tobaccos several times a week!

A 1992 full bend Dunhill with a mishmash of leftover blends. 
Cleaning a Peterson 03 Irish Sea I purchased in Belfast in 2016. Later that day a bartender mademe an Irish Car Bomb to down after an relaxing lunch at a local pub. Both the pipe and the drink have fond stories to go with them each.
Nothing. Got food poisoning last night and was bowing to lord porcelain until 3 a.m. The old lady doesn’t think ripping down some Old Joe Krantz is good for my gut biome so I am in time out.
Well, the two I own do not have a shape number. I also have the commemorative issued by Peterson in 1989 (pictured here). It is a common style in the early 1900’s as seen in this Barling from 1903
