Great pic, Cosmic!
I am smoking Pipeworks & Wilke Pipemaker's Choice in a Grabow Savoy.

JimInks is 7 bowls into August already? Go Jim!
Me, more Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding in a gorgeous little no name pipe. Sunburst-like briar grain. Rough, blistery finish in places. Just the right bowl for 40 to 50 minutes of quiet reflection with the pudding.

You're an interesting man, Cosmic. I'm watching your tobacco choices closely. So... how far into August before you go purple? Bowl countdown-wise?

 

[dread]

ODF in a Camminetto Brandy.

C&D's - Supa Balkan in a London Crown Pot.

 

[JimInks]

Bob's Square Cut in a 2013 bent MM Missouri Pride Legend.

Thanks, ...I'm not sure when I will go purple, pups. I lurked for a while before I made the initial plunge into the forum.

I highly recommend the Rimboche SJ. I've enjoyed it so much that it's been my goto for a couple of days. It's also cheap. Worth a try if you like a peppery VaPer with a lot of flavor that burns cool.

But, now I'm winding down with a touch more flavor with some Chelsea Morning (not just for breakfast anymore) in the garnet bulldog.

 

[JimInks]

Mount Marcy in a 1978 slight bend CAO Turk's Head Meer.

 

[cmdrmcbragg]

Had a La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amore toro at a cigar lounge earlier. Smoked some ODF for the crawl about half an hour ago. Doing some Dunhill MM965 before I call it a night.

 

[JimInks]

Louisiana Red in a straight Lane era Charatan black with burgundy undertone sandblasted billiard 420.

 

[andystewart]

C&D Morning Drive in a slightly bent Charatan's Make Belvedere 260DC straight smooth Dublin with two large coffees in the beautiful Ibiza morning. Wife, children & grandchildren all asleep while I smoke and grab some work-time next to the pool. The sunrise over the hills across the bay is divine. I'm not religious but this could change a man.

Two bowls in a row of Newminster 403 Superior Round Slices in a Stanwell 198.

 

[12pups]

Thanks, Cosmic. I'll add Rimboche SJ to the list. Already put an order in for the Klondike Gold. Sounds good.

 

[andystewart]

Erinmore Balkan Mixture in the Belvedere - I try to only use 2 pipes during the day while I'm here to avoid having to bring too many over from England.

BRG in a 2014 Rekamepip smooth short shank slight bend olive wood poker.

[andystewart]

Chelsea Morning in a Spanish half-bent smooth Dublin with thick walls and a cool draw. Breaking her in now then will leave her and her sister until the Autumn nights.
