Part way through this bowl of Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in my trusty 1970s smooth three quarter bend Peterson System Standard 305 with a black vulcanite p-lip stem.

HU Latakia Flake in a Peterson's Rusticated 315 pipe.
Mississippi River in a Stanwell 71 I just cleaned up. tbh, will be better once this is broken back in.
Penny Farthing in Peterson SH Mycroft natural finish. Ran out of drink, and was getting light headed. Too hot and humid outside. It was 1 hr mark and I loaded the bowl lightly. Didn't dump too much. Actually, was almost done.

Had to break open my clay pipe again today as one of the decorators asked me to show it them. Another (an old friend) asked me if he could smoke it so I gave him a pipeful of St. Bruno Ready Rubbed and let him borrow my Cavalier hat as I told him he wouldn't look / feel right smoking my clay pipe without a hat on (Lace Wars advice).
He said he liked it better than smoking cigarettes!
I finished my packet of St. Bruno on my country walk and I'm not buying any more pipe baccy for now; not smoking any more until I receive my parcels from Condorlover1!
It's back in the safe now and I'm not smoking it tomorrow!

Half way through this bowl of Sutliff Prince Andrew in a 2020 smooth light brown, slight bent J. Everett straight grain chubby author with a spalted birch ferrule and a black saddle vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Got all my walking done for the day.
Love that Mycroft!
Plum Pudding in a cob again. I'm trying to beat this tobacco into submission. I rubbed it out much finer than normal and let it dry a couple of hours. I dropped a small stone in the bottom to help the fine tobacco not clog the air hole. All in all this was my best attempt to get this to smoke so far without excessive relights. I do love it so though and have a lot of it stored away, so I have to win this fight.
Finished up the last of my open tin of C&D Sansepulcro and am contemplating my last smoke for the day. I am thinking C&D's Pegasus.
Not far from finishing this bowl of MacBaren Golden Extra in a 2002 smooth Rinaldo Silver Line 3 EGER 05 paneled horn with a black acrylic tapered stem.
Looks a nice clay. Thanks for the offer of some clay pipes, my friend.Many, many bowls through a clay my friend...
GL Pease Cairo in a Sasieni Two Dot Dublin. This pipe smokes wonderfully, has an original stem, but I did a bad repair of a hole in the button, so I don’t show this pipe often
Giving Gawith, Hoggarth & Co‘s Sweet Coconut Twist a try in the meerschaum hobby block. Had a little earlier today, but the pipe I smoked it in tasted of Izmir. I wanted to get an “un-muddied” taste of it. Seems like the coconut is very light, but builds slightly. I’m digging it.
Twenty minutes to dinner time, and this should get me there: D&R Penhooker Silver in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Fast burning tobacco, small bowl. Watching the Braves-Jays game.
