Afternoon smoke will be some MB Club Blend in a Castello #33 Haven't smoked this is a while and I've forgotten just what high quality tobacco this is.

I used to smoke Esoterica Margate in this pipe, but the bee-like stem has me thinking I’m going to change things up and use it for blends with honey. Going to have Cornell & Diehl Small Batch Sun Bear Tupelo (10,205/20,000) in a Chacom Maya Bent Dublin 266.
I tried to find my Pee-Wee Herman talking doll and post a pic as a background for @PipeIT but it wasn’t where I thought it might be (my talking Freddy Krueger was there). In its stead, I’m sharing a coloured pencil caricature I did during my junior/senior year independent study college portfolio class (1984/1985) at the School of Visual Arts:
After I wrote the above text, I took one more look and found the talking Pee-wee Herman from 1987. Here's looking at you @PipeIT !

I have not, but good to know! Not tried Exclusive. Lower nic, Va heavy VaPer seems to be what works for me. I've wondered if I would like as well with Newminster 400 or Sutliff 507c, but the Hamborger Veermaster is just as much of the magic, I think.
Long week Friday nightcap. Briar Fox in the mini Morgan reverse calabash. Cheers to a restful weekend!
Star of the East in a ~1960s gourd calabash, with martini, seasoned with Turkish Tobacco Bitters
You may have already answered this but I need to know about these tobacco bitters.
McClelland 40th Anniversary in a Larrysson.
New product from Fee Brothers... not bad!
I tried it with Veermaster and 507. The Veermaster version is better in my opinion.
I haven’t tried it with Exclusive. I’ll try it this weekend.
I also stoved some 507 recently so I’ll try that again/too.
Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke No. 222 in an undated, unbranded straight smooth dark brown made in France Los Alton VBF billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
love this pipe, something about the composition, screams that its older and "wise". lovely thing indeed.
Cornell & Diehl Sun Bear Black Locust in a Savinelli Punto Oro Mr G (In front)
The pipe at the back is a Savinelli Silver 606 EX with fantastic birdseye and cross grain. Placed here for completeness as I smoked this workhorse pipe in the morning.
This ends my Savinelli day!

Just finished smoking year 2017 Esoterica Dorchester in a straight smooth brown 1920s KBB Rocky Briar 1582 patent no.298978 with a B in a circle bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Now smoking year 2016 Sutliff Revelation Match in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII Kingsway (Comoy’s) London Made 61 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Sutliff Balkan Sobranie Match in an Ardor Venere Rhodesian.
Almost a third of the way through this bowl of Uhle’s Blend 71 in a smooth straight brown family era Sasieni Mayfair 64 N Canadian with a black tapered vulcanite stem.
Hey there Aussie fellow, from across the ditch. Awesome little tray you have there!
quick morning smoke of Clan Aromatic in a Norske Lillehammer model 900 medium size long Dublin shape
Just finished work for the day, and smoked a bowl of Wilke No. 24 in a smooth straight brown 1949 KBB Yello-Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Fed Molly Danger, and three ferals, who mostly behaved. Now, Sleepy Suzy wants some food, so that's next.
Just finished a bowl. But won't smoke in this cob again as it seems to dull flavours
