In Indiana visiting my Daughter and two Grandchildren. Didn't bring the Meers, they can rest safely at home. Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Alden.

C&D Constellation in a Celebi Meerschaum with a cup of Green tea.
3 year old Eight State Burley in a smooth Sav Qandale.
Its getting harder and harder to locate the pipe in your pictures ...
(Pun intended!)
SG Grousemoor in a Nutten’s B3 Mini Bing
That is an elegant pipe.
Samuel Gawith Black XX Twist from June 2022 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
My last bowl of 2024 Steamworks in a Peterson Derry 69. Pretty much all I've smoked in this pipe since I opened the tin.
Celebrating a new all-time record (again) for gold with a full flake of Mac Baren Vanilla Flake in the Brobdingnagian chamber of an Al Pascia meer, paired with a small pour of Johnnie Walker red on the rocks. I may crack a tin of something special for its next record high which, at this pace, should come by Labor Day. 9/10
Bird report: California scrub-jay, California towhee, House finch, Steller's jay, American crow, Red-tailed hawk, Cooper's hawk, Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, Mountain chickadee, Northern flicker, Hairy woodpecker, Anna's hummingbird, and Western bluebird. Not to mention some nice birdseye courtesy of @PaulRVA a couple posts back.
This smoke is also dedicated to my great-great aunt Tillie, who would be 114 tomorrow. At my current rate, my cellar should last me until twice that age.

Thank you, I had reservations about the size but I’m happy I chose the mini. Convenient size, adequate smoke times and well constructed.
I’d do another and also recommend one if your into a shorter smoking session and something different.
Hope your having a good weekend and without anymore tread issues.
I've had my finger slip on the trigger a few times, too.
Love that almost elephant skin-like rustication. Quite eye-catching, especially around the bowl to shank point. Ya done good!
Weekend is going pretty good, I hope yours is as well. The tire was a surprise but I have a new one on its way. I went ahead and ordered a new spare for the truck also. I figured 37 years under the bed was long enough.
Thunderstorm incoming and as I sit here I can feel the temperature dropping into the mid 80's. What a relief and I can't wait until I get chased inside. BRV has been a regular lately.
McConnell’s Red Virginia in a Castello #33 with Celtic spiral
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, Dover sole and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm just finishing this bowl of year 2014 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth dark brown 1916 Barling The Hunt with beautiful silver work and a black vulcanite saddle stem with an orific bit. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Getting ready to watch/listen to the Braves-Angels game.
Off to work on a new Sabrina story with a bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Listening to the ball game.
