Faux Fall was nice while it lasted.

Happy birthday 
@Jwebb90 !
I smoked Five Brothers in a Sasieni Two Dot Dublin earlier and now it’s cigar time - My Father Le Bijou 1922

Last smoke of the day, Good Ole St Bruno flake folded in a old Norwegian Lillehammer L 900 long Dublin shape, a mug of warm Yorkshire black tea with milk&sugar is my beverage this evening
Finished up a tasty bowl of Squadron Leader in the cob I devote to Englishes:
The chamber on this one has always seemed slightly narrower than my other cobs, and the only explanation I can think of is that I bought it when Missouri Meetschaum couldn’t get enough cobs in their usual size. This posed a problem when I wanted to use a windscreen because any cake meant it was hard to install. So I’ve been carefully and gradually boring it out with sandpaper on a dowel, trying to keep the bore round and the walls vertical. So far so good!

I haven’t smoked this pipe in awhile. Going to have McClelland Frog Morton on the Town (2017) in a Comoy’s Olympic Freehand, circa 1948 (to commemorate the London Olympics of that year).
Some other angles, since this isn’t a common pipe:
Next to a Savinelli 320 KS Series III for a sense of scale.
@UncleRasta Hope you feel better!
@Jwebb90 Happy Birthday!

Brebbia Oom Paul with some Hal O’ The Wynd before I gotta get ready for work.
Sutliff Revelation Match in a Rossi
Astute you are! I like to label some of my cobs.Does the "L" stand for "Lakelands"?
Still plugging away at this tin of Midsommar. I'm having to take a break from Bellamy since my tongue really hates aros so much no matter how dry and slow (though the Bellamy isn't nearly as bad as others). Think I need to pick up a few smaller clay pipes to use with most aros (I just can't spread a bowl out through the day).
Went to the hospital and took my friend home. We're relieved that the news was all good. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of C&D Virginia Flake in straight medium brown 1922-1937 Irish Free State era Peterson 222 bullcap with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Larry's Espresso #9, neat, is my drink.
Glad your friend is ok.
Free state pipes are awesome too!
Sun Bear Tupelo in a Dr. Grabowski this afternoon. 
half and half in a Ropp. Surprisingly this is the first time trying this blend. Despite many negative reviews, I find it quite enjoyable.
Enjoying my CAO Egg and Claw Meerschaum with some Captain Black.
