Burning down some Haunted Bookshop in a Savinelli 102. I've been trying to figure out what sort of blends this pipe likes after getting it from eBay but it's really letting the Burley shine. Tasty stuff.

Beautiful spring evening! Can’t seem to keep myself inside. Luxury Bullseye Flake in this Mastro de Paja. A little of the good stuff accompanying, A relaxing sendoff for April.
Vauen No 14 in a Cermak.
Pegasus in a Peterson 608. This pipe has been smoking very wet, so I'm running half bowls through it to get some cake and break it in. It seems like my last couple Peterson pipes took a little while to break in.
C&D Kajun Kake in a Peterson SPD 53.
Relaxing after a wonderful eight tacos dinner with a few freshly made oatmeal raisin cookies for dessert. I'm just finishing this bowl of year 2018 Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a straight smooth dark brown 1950s Comoy’s Deluxe apple military mount with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. It's too humid for coffee due to the thunderstorms. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Abner the Eager went out right before dinner.
Old Joe Krantz in a Peterson Irish Harp Lovat. 
That's a beautiful pipe. I'm partial to black sandblast, but sometimes the website pictures don't give a good view of pipes with a contrasting stem. Is that a coffee stem?Lunch break at Ye Olde Pipe Shop in Jackson, TN today. BlackHouse in my Cannonball.

The Chacom RC is stellar. I'm now eyeing their RC Dublin but don't have the room on my pipe rack...yet...
HU Louisiana broken in a scottie piersel
Relaxing after a hearty meal with a bowl of Opening Night in a Bear's Den Briar commissioned snail. About to get into the whisky...
A third of the way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.

Make sure to take a couple windcaps with you!
The Aperitif in my WDC Hesson Guard Zulu
Waiting on the stainless tubing to try to fix the snapped Ropp, so I broke out the blasted J07 I got for backup earlier this year.
Started breaking it in with some Ryback+P this evening.

Patio at the condo will be main location. Planning an afternoon or two at Low Country for indoor puffing and souvenir shopping.Well if you’re in Surfside you can’t smoke on the Beach which is why I frequent Pawley’s Island the most.
Well that and the lack of peopleMyrtle is generally smoke friendly though and a nose warmer with a wind cap comes in pretty handy when out and about or on a Golf Course. Overall packing though I’m pretty heavy on bringing multiple blends and pipes for the patio.
I like this logic. Last trip I had 12 pipes for 7 days. Bedside table in the cabin on the ship was exploding with pipe stuff
If you're referring to the Cannonball and Grapeshot, they're both midnight blast with coffee stems. I got the Cannonball in-person at Briarworks and my kiddos (wife assisted) gifted me the matching Grapeshot last Christmas.
On it, thanks!
vauen No 14 in a Larrysson.
Cascadia Open Water in an HS Studio sitter.
Near the first third of this bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem. The rain has slowed to a sprinkle. I brought Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave in to eat. Tomato jumped on my lap for attention afterward, and then wanted out. Daisy's laying on the floor. When I let Tomato out, I saw Abner the Eager on the doormat and Harry the Hairy came running. I had to block the door to keep Harry out to avoid conflict. He's always sad when I do that. Now that Abner's on top of my chair, I'll bring Harry in to eat.
Yah. Been there and done that. Many times. Waaayyyy too many times.
Enjoyed two egg, ham and cheddar cheese open face sandwiches, and am near the half way mark of this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2002 smooth top, black sandblasted quarter bend military mount Karl Erik Ekstravagant horn with a horn insert in the ferrule and black acrylic stem. Hate to think about what I'll weigh tomorrow afternoon. Abner the Eager went out, and Harry the Hairy wanted attention after he ate. Then, he wanted out. Daisy the Ferla Princess is laying by my feet. I'm watching the replay of the Orioles-Yankees game.
