Just finishing this bowl of HU Manyara in a 1982 black sandblasted medium bend W.O. Larsen freehand with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Now smoking the last of this sample of Esoterica Cardiff in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2000 Winslow C silver spigot wide top Dublin with a canted plateau and black acrylic saddle stem. Going to clean a few pipes soon.

Finishing up Watch City 558 in a Brebbia Linea A, contemplating what to smoke next.

Reflecting on my first year as a pipe smoker while puffing on a Rossi 673 containing Solani 633 (Virginia Flake). Delish.

Happy birthday, man! I've got that same pipe, love it!

Now smoking a 1881Perique torpedo. Very delicious cigars.

I had one years ago and liked it. Have you any idea what other tobaccos are used in it?

Mixing some latakia into some homegrown 'Helena' flue-cured (Virginia).

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am now smoking SWRA in a straight black sandblast undated Savinelli Hercules 115EX pot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. I may finish the day with this smoke.

No. I know they are made in the Philippines, though.

Similar shape bowl to mid-late 19th Cent. 'Cutty' clays as well as to similar period meerschaums such as this one which surprisingly has an almost pre-smoked bowl look as seen on the 'Tanga' African meerschaum pipes of the 1970s:-

I am just curious but it looks like the chamber of the briar pipe is immaculate and unsmoked - I assume this is a trick of the lighting used to take the picture. The meerschaum 'cutty' looks to be a standard 5 1/2". Is the stem a replacement or original? Any idea who made it or is it one of those generic Austrian pipes that seem to surface quite often? BTW love your broken clay pipe collection. Thames Mud Larking or Victorian dump digging?
