A bowl of C&D Bayou Morning in the Peterson 406 I mentioned above.
Now for some C&D Big 'n Burley.
Wow that blue color looks great!
Going to have Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Loose Cut as the inaugural smoke in my new srv Aladdin Meerschaum that just arrived today. I couldn't resist the graceful lines of this pipe, plus, it was on sale.
Good strong C&D Big'n'Burley in a Jerry Perry smooth freehand pocket pipe carved from a somewhat unusual wood for pipes, cocobolo, which requires some safety awareness for carving. It's a nifty compact pipe with jaunty asymmetry with a snazzy deep orange/amber colored stem. Jerry doesn't sell online, only at The Village of Yesteryear at the N.C. State Fair in October, and the TAPS pipe show, when it happens, in April. However he does do pipe repair from a site online. He works in briar, maple, and mountain laurel, but I believe the cocobolo was a one-off. In addition to this and another pocket pipe, a sort of tomato shape with a sturdy thick amber-color stem, I have several of his full-size pipes in briar and mountain laurel. He's sort of a best kept secret for North Carolina pipe smokers, out there in Colfax, N.C., toward the mountains.
I ordered blindly one pound of vanilla cream as occasional aro , how do you like it for a vanilla aro? Thanks
I like it. It's not overly goopy and dries well, so it doesn't get too steamy. It's pleasant.
Akousticplyr, thank you sir! It catches the eye but I bought it for the stem size! Much more comfortable to clench than the regular 320 stems.
Just finishing smoking Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark brown medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a vulcanite black tapered AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked. Had a fun chat with my favorite niece.
A Ducca Carlo loaded with Sutliff Buttered Rum ready to go. Its a Savinelli second but smokes like a dream.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of HU Cervantes (Gran Reserve Limitada 2 Anos) in a brown straight smooth circa 2012 Paul Perri chubby billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
A quick smoke of Kendal Dark before supper into this MM short stop.
Interesting pipe, I like it
Makes me wish I had kids now. ?
I bet that’s a very tactile pipe, I’m interested to see how it colours, please keep us posted.
I am one of the few, from what I have observed, that appreciates Hungarians and that sir is a beautiful example.
Just finished some Three Kings in the Bog Oak horn by Balandis. Last up is a small bowl of Bengal Slices in this Barling Pick Axe and a glass of Grappa before I hit the sack. 
GL Pease Blackpoint in a Stanwell Zebrano billiard
Closing in on the half way mark on this bowl of Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a straight smooth brown 1950s Comoy’s Tradition 305 apple military mount with a sterling silver cap and a black tapered vulcanite stem. This should get me to dinner time.
