Is that a "stubby" or "long bent" frame? Just looking them up and want to get a size reference.

Fire in the hole! Right now some Sutliff's Queen Anne's Revenge. The pipe? A well-bent Grabow .
Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok. Bowl 131.
This is the stubby bent.
John Cotton Double Pressed Latakia in a Bruce Weaver. I really like how the John Cotton cakes burn. The Kentucky is my favorite, this is second, Burley is third. I have not tried the double pressed Virginia. Has anyone else? Virginia’s and I don’t mix well lately but I’m curious for someone else to sample it!
Just got in from walking WeeBay with a bowl of MacB Stockton spun cut in the Civic, an excellent blend and I’m kicking myself for only getting one tin. The Civic is proving to be a great pipe indoors and out and for less than £10 is probably the best deal I’ve made on a pipe.
While I contemplate what to make for dinner I’m going to try the Brown Sugar Flake again, so far I’ve found it bites a lot and I’m not terribly keen on it. I’m going to try it in a meer bowl on a Falcon this time.

Dunhill Navy Rolls from 2017 in Castello. DNR is another new to me blend but Escudo is one of my 'go to' blends. Have read conflicting reports on whether DNR and Escudo are one and the same. I have a recently opened 2017 Escudo for comparison and they have definitely not aged in the same manner. DNR is much lighter in appearance with a pretty strong ketsup/vinegar aroma compared to the hay/raisin I get from the Escudo. Will have a bowl of Escudo later to compare flavor but from memory and to my relatively unrefined palate, the flavor profiles are similar but the DNR a touch sweeter.

About a third of a bowl left of early 2000s 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.
Dan does a great job with their blends!
I second their DP Latakia, Kentucky and Creme but I haven’t had Virginia only.
Midmorning bowl of some Ampersand Flake by LJP. One of my favorites in my current rotation. Similar to Evening Flake by Stokkebye, I think.
This Altinay nosewarmer is about two years old now and smoked almost daily.

Passing the half way point on this bowl of KBV Prince of Wales in a straight smooth terracotta 2014 Sherlock Holmes Baker Street bulldog with sterling silver band and a tapered black p-lip stem. Getting a couple of things done before the Braves-Cubs game start.
Well the meer/Falcon combo was definitely the way to go with the Brown Sugar Flake, a much better experience than with briar bowls and no bite 
.
Waiting for the chicken for my Caesar salad to grill and smoking Rum Flake in the James Upshall with Les Wood gold plated silver band and a nice chocolate stout to go with it.

Morley's Best in a Peterson System Spigot B42.

McClelland Blackwoods in a Castello Old Antiquari Bulldog.
That is a killer looking pipe. Love it. Glad it’s getting some use.
