Some Bobs Chocolate flake. This blend never disappoints.

Alan’s Inspiration in a Black & Tan Acorn I had custom made by Mark Tinsky.

Some soothing Nutty Irishman in my Pete emerald rusticated 106 after a hectic morning running errands, and a dull afternoon of necessary chores. I am always so interested to see the cool pipes and tobaccos you guys have going on, keep it up! Like y’all need me to tell you that, haha. Anyway, I’m about to crack the tequila. Look out!

Absolutely stunning pipe -- shape, grain, texture, color, you name it!

On the menu for today's afternoon smoke is GH&Co Kendal Dark loaded in my Stanwell POTY 2024 and paired with an iced coffee.

Hope you're all having a great weekend!

Oh that's beautiful right there. I ain't seen this one yet

Thanks, it’s not bad for $50. Nice smoker too.

Still in the garage catching up with a great conversation with a fellow forum member. Keeping me company is Sutliff's Match Victorian loaded in my Savinelli Porto Cervo 127 and the rest of my iced coffee.

Getting ready to watch UFC 319, Dricus du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev (Middleweight Championship), taking place at the United Center, in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Having Cornell & Diehl Small Batch Folklore (2022, 805/1000) in an unbranded, unmarked, Magnum-sized Swan Neck LC (Large Curve) with a horn stem with an orific bit; this pipe is most likely French in origin, and may be from the late 19th or early 20th Century—it is curve/step drilled, has a bone tenon, and a cork mortise.

Absolutely stunning pipe -- shape, grain, texture, color, you name it!

Another fun thing about it is that it is a twin bore.

The last of a tin of C&D XXV Reserve Dawn in a Brulor with horn stem

You certainly have some beautiful pipes in your corral. I always enjoy looking at them.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2019 Ascanian No. 1 in a straight smooth dark brown 1930s (Comoy’s) The Exmoor Pipe 283 chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.


I followed that up with a bowl of year 2019 C&D Derringer in a straight smooth brown 1920s (Comoy’s) Lions Head 399 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.


Currently, I'm finishing this bowl of year 2020 C&D Virginia Flake in an undated (1970s?) unbranded straight paneled sandblasted Tanshell Dunhill second with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Paid twenty bucks for this pipe in 1981. Smokes as well as a “proper” Dunhill. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I’m not drunk. I promise! I was trying to reply to Gord. Happy to see “skippable drivel” today!

Given your spider ordeal, no one would blame you for having a stiff snort or two..........

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking the last of my open stash of 2017 Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a smooth brown three quarter bend 1979 Ben Wade Golden Matt freehand sitter with a channel cut on the right side, plateau rim, and a brown pearl acrylic stem. This may get me to dinner time. I'll revisit this blend someday as I have lots of it jarred. Haven't smoked this pipe in quite a while, but it got heavy usage for years. The Braves-Guardians game starts after the top of the hour.
