Good morning pipe smokers,
It’s time to smoke some C&D Briar Fox in an IMP Meerschaum. Black as night coffee and the birds to accompany.

Just got home from a horrible night at work. About to relax with some 9 year old Capstan Blue in an Ardor Marte Fantasy with a very stiff rum and coke on the side.

Fantastic!

It seemed like a better venue to show off the shirt than at home.

I was hoping to meet @woodsroad , but, he had to get up early for work and couldn’t make it. I was glad to meet @lestrout and the other members. I was able to get a more complete story on the back story of War Horse and @condorlover1 ’s involvement via some members in attendance. The Wooden Match is dog friendly, so it looks like we’d be able to make future meetings before heading back to New York on a Tuesday.

I don’t usually smoke pipes outdoors much. The flame on my Old Boy wandering was a concern as I didn’t want to mess up the rim on my 514 KS. It might’ve darkened some. Oh well.

Smoking virginia out of my unbranded mini-briar this morning. It's a bit less than 4.5" long, kinda fun for really short smokes, or when I want to smoke something slowly. I've lost any eBay or email details about it after 20 years, so I might start a separate thread if anyone wants to take a crack at identifying it!


This time around, I experimented with packing the bowl a little more firmly and letting it sit out to dry overnight. Seems to be helping it to stay lit and burn a little cooler.

BTW, after more thought, I think my mystery Virginia flake is actually the last of some McClelland 2015 rather than PS Luxury Navy Flake. It's more of a reddish brown than tan, and is more tangy than grassy. I hope mixing up those two isn't a bannable offense!

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Pretty little pipe, you should start a thread. Looks like a Pear / Rhodesian mongrel. English or French, maybe?
Good afternoon.

Got a log of Tennessee dark fire cured from Whole Leaf yesterday, so today I am playing around with blending it and smoking samples. It's good stuff, tasty and strong. Smoking it in some tiny cobs at the moment, mixed with D&R Windsail.

Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.
