I like that sixten ish shape!

Thanks!
It’s a pretty unique shape- there is no shape number and I haven’t been able to find it in the catalogues and shape charts I’ve looked at online.

What a beautiful no-name pipe. Was this an eBay find?

McLelland Balkan Beauty in my birth year (66) Jeantet President Reserve de Jubilee 150th anniversary pipe. This is octagonal panelled with a beautiful grain that unfortunately isn’t showing up in this light.

Trying my $45 tin of Pipe Force in the new Pete Barrel, unless the coin inside the tin is worth thirty bucks I’m feeling a bit put out View attachment 239058

Why was it so expensive?

Just had a pretty good bowl of C&D Opening Night in the Savinelli 313 prince. I say "pretty good" because it's another breezy day on the porch, and my palate really needs still conditions to get the most from blends like this. I've read some reviews like "so sweet, it's like my pipe was dipped in sugar!" and that has never been my experience with this blend, so I'm on the fence about whether I'll buy it again.

Breaking in this Peterson Derry 338 with C&D Kajun Kake. It’s about time to head to work and grab the shift by the gonads.

Didn't feel sleepy after a bottle of cider in the garden with John; cooking Iceland Lemon & Herb Chicken Breasts (chicken sourced in Ukraine) for dinner. Going to defrost my fridge / freezer next week.

Carter Hall in my cob I spent a year with. "Roy".

Havent had this combo in a looooong time, so of course I had to make coffee to go with it!

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a golden delicious apple on the side. I've about a quarter of a bowl left of Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Gold Star Cafe 645, neat, is my drink.

Wilke Final Verdict in my Tendi billiard.

I’m thinking about buying some of that blend. The high Perique content piqued my interest.
How do you like it?
