G&H Exmoor in my Invicta Pear. I bought an ounce of this out of curiosity - it's sort of "Skiff Lite" and a bit of a utility smoke. The Invicta has a deep chamber which makes for long smokes, and Exmoor smoked well but was completely unremarkable. At no point did it surprise or impress, it was just a smoke while I got on with other things.
Passing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2013 Esoterica Tilbury in a smooth medium bend 1999 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Chatting with an old friend about G&H Rum Flake.
Esoterica Pembroke in this Maxim straight billiard. 
Anthology 2022 in a Savinelli Linea Piu 3.
Ennerdale Flake in a vintage Workman clay. Taking the churchwarden to the Viking event at Cromford Mill & Matlock Bath Pirate Mutiny. Looking forward to getting it lit from the blacksmith's forge!
Wasting away in the heat with some Gaslight in a clay. Come on fall. 
Sweet piece! Love the partial rustication. He did a great job with the contrast stain. If it bugs you that it feels incomplete, just send it to me and voila, problem solved! It WAS just my birthday, ya know.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2000 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1938 straight black grain relief Dunhill OX Shell bulldog with a silver band repair with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Have enough for one more bowl. This should get me to dinner time. The Braves-Marlins game starts about ten minutes from now.
OJK for an inaugural smoke in this 1917 Delacour Bros. Army mount.
After discussing this little unmarked (what i believe to be pressed) apple meer on another thread, and since i already had it busted out of it's case and off the shelf, it was high time it got put to use.
McC 5100 is divine in this thing, no matter what it's made of and how shabbily it colors!

I have a little arriving tomorrow.
I’ve never tried it so I’m curious to see how it is. So I’ll have a bowl in your Honor for surviving the Wookie’s !
Rattray’s Old Gowrie in a Castello KK Aristocratica.
No rustication. That's a remnant of the plateau that once adorned the block.
I may eventually get it blasted, I've a fellow in mind that would do it justice.
Being a close friend of mine prior to his passing, I was able to get several of his pipes. When I decide to end my pipe smoking career, those pipes will be the only ones left in my collection.
C&D Red Odessa in a Celebi Meerschaum with a glass of iced water, while watching the sunset and listening to the crickets.
Can we get a full shot of this little beauty?
Continuing my burley journey with some delicious Old Dark Fired in the 207 with a side of 101
