Alan’s Inspiration in a Ser Jacopo Domina 98 #146.
Smoking some Old Dominion in a Pete Irish Harp unsweetened iced tea on the side.
A 50/50 mix (approximately) of GHC Kendal Flake and Arango Balkan Supreme in a Peterson Kinsale Rusticated deerstalker (Rhodesian). My aim was to go for something that smelled (or tasted?) like incense, as inspired by the forum thread on this. I think the blend actually works really well, though I don’t know that it will scratch the itch that @rakovsky is attempting.
It's getting smoked for research, I've given up pipe smoking as a regular activity. When I still did though, that pipe would've hit 20 smokes in two days rather than 2 weeks. Had my daughter not gifted me that pipe at the same time I had an idea for coloring, it would never have gotten smoked at all and I'd have let her younger sister use it for her shadow box hobby.
C&D Riverboat Gambler in a Lorenzetti Augustus Caesar 03. We got snowballs earlier, egg custard and cream for me and my wife, boys got lime.
Pease's Horizons Flake in Peterson S.H. Squire. Back from the ball field with my son, got a lot of batting practice in this afternoon.
C&D XXV Reserve Dawn in a Radice
2012 GL Pease Cairo in an IMP Meer. 
Windsail Silver in a Vauen Olaf bent egg this afternoon. Slow sipping reduces or eliminates most of the topping bite and I am packing as tight as I can while still leaving some airflow. I really like the taste of this tobacco, hay, sweet citrus, bread but is there a method to smoking this blend ? Even with slow sipping it burns very fast more so than cigarette tobacco and it also seems to make the bowl very hot even with a simmering ember. Am I doing something wrong or incorrectly ? Does anyone smoke this regularly ? Curious as I like it the blend. Thanks in advance.
I'll be looking forward to the results. You're daughter has great taste in pipes.
She wants me to take pipes back up she says it looks weird seeing me without one. She does know better than to get me an Altinay though. The one in question is a Fatih. She saw one of his that I used to have and like it.
Low Country Waccamaw in a Vauen 2024 pipe of the year. I normally clench, but today I it is required since my shoulder is so sore from throwing a football so much yesterday…. it was loads of fun but throwing to the teenage nephews’ was a mix of respecting their athleticism and missing mine 
Just finished smoking year 2016 Peter Heinrichs Special Curly in the first pipe Trever Talbot made when he went to France many years ago. It's a smooth straight Algerian briar Lumberman with a long shank and a black vulcanite saddle stem, unbranded.
Now smoking year 2014 Uhle’s 00 in a medium brown 1982 smooth slight bend straight grain Ben Wade Martinique freehand sitter with a wide top and a black vulcanite stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in a while, but it got heavy usage during the 1980s. Great smoker. I should take a better photo of it.
Another fine pairing, like it was made for it: 5-Year Matured Virginia in mid-1980s Butz-Choquin Calabash. 
A freshly opened tin of 2018 Solani Aged Burley Flake 656 in a 1965 Dunhill 83 F/T.
