Veermaster to break in my First smoke in my Savinelli Caramella 606. I’ve delayed smoking out of this pipe until got most of my taste and smell back from COVID. I’m like 80% there and figured tonight would be a good night to break it in.

Cornell & Diehl Nutty Irishman in a Savenelli churchwarden.
Worked all day, now enjoying some classical music while puffing on a Baronet Bruyere 320 EX filled with some Elizabethan mixture which I aged just a few months and has 
made a big difference, really enjoying the peppery nose to it. Was on the fence with this blend but now understanding it. A Belvedere dirty martini. Enjoying catching up on today’s forum..

Newminster Straight Black in a Winslow Crown freehand. I always look up Jiminks review whenever I try a new blend. I was pleasantly surprised to find he rated this one 4 stars. High praise indeed.
Haunted Bookshop in a BriarWorks Poker.
Finished my first smoke of the evening. Now some Wilke Lizzie blood in a paneled hand made in Denmark Bjarne. Still working on the martini. Feeling rejuvenated my brothers. Love this hobby and 
this forum, good job Jiminks!!

Smoking Key Largo in a Savinelli Hercules 611. The wide bowl really brings out the flavor of this blend, which is quickly become a favorite!
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, French cut pork chops and zucchini dinner with strawberries and cherries for dessert. I'm almost half way through this bowl of year 2013 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DRA 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Helping m'lady with Christmas cards.
Sutliff Cringle Flake 2020 in a Specially Selected by Sasieni One Dot Canadian with a 1925 patent
Lots of Pete’s today.
Had to take two weeks off due to having a tooth pulled. Now I am in it to win it with some Sillem's Black in a Lloyds Sea Coral Briar pipe.
Arango Balkan Supreme in a Brebbia Dublin on the cool FL porch.
Just finished 2 coins of Escudo in a MM diplomat, a lovely choice for this snowy evening!
Yep! Got a few estate Petes and have been enjoying them.
Now smoking year 2012 Mac Baren Burley London Blend in a smooth medium bend 1999 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. This Pete I've owned for years.
Smoking Best of the Rest Aromatic in a Cup O Joe's basket pipe. Good stuff, I can't put my finger on what the flavor is... all I know is its good, It's 16.99 a pound, and my wife says it smells great. Only aviliable at Pipes and Cigars, as far as I know.
SG Best Brown Flake (2014) in a Bertram Meer Cutty.
2020 Cringle in a meer lattice globe, yet again.
Smoking McBaren Mixture in my Altinay meerschaum Canadian. Sublime.
Barely got a chance to sit most of the day; I shoved a bunch of Peter Stokkebye Norwegian No.80 into a pouch and have been smoking that all day (four bowls!) in this ...
... Bjarne Viking Copenhagen Apple. This pipe was awful when I first got it years ago, so it was relegated to beater status back when I was smoking 6-10 bowls every day (I miss that). A little work with a round file at the draught and a couple hundred abusively smoked bowls later, and this beater’s been beaten into a pretty damned sweet smoker.
I’m home now, still smoking out of this pipe, but with some of this Peterson Special Reserve from 2015. This stuff was a little rough when I got it, but it‘s mellowed out considerably over time ... maybe a little too mellow. Not bad, though; I’m going with it.
