Thank you! Gustavo’s work is truly world class, I feel very fortunate to have been able to add these to the collection.
Hearth & Home White Night in a Altinok Lion Head Meer.
Now on to a bowl pf Largo Sungrown in a Savinelli Autograph.
Very nice pipe. Do you have many Autographs and what is your opinion? I found a few that look great but don’t know if the hike in price is warranted.
Now on to a bowl of GH&Co #7 Broken Flake in a Bari freehand.
I have two and I think they are wonderful! I picked up both as estates and as estates they are very reasonable. They are at the top of Savinelli quality and match other italians in the same price range. The only thing I don't like about them is the stamped logo (which I think is true of all pipes with stamped stem logos) on the stem which wears out over the years.
Sillem's Mayor 1814 Flake in a Stanwell Pipe of the Year 2009. This flake is a Virginia with some orange and honey topping. Very similar to Fribourg & Treyer's Vintage Flake and Cut Virginia Plug. These are all scented or topped Va flakes.
Royal Yacht into a cutty Ropp with horn stem .
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking Wilke No. 24 in a smooth straight brown 1949 Yello-Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Going to work now.
Gawith & Hoggarth Brown Flake Scented into an Ali Cutty Meer .
Just passing the half way mark on this bowl of Prince Albert in a straight smooth walnut 1927 KBB Kaywoodie Drinkless 86 dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This model was only made in 1927.
Sutliff Mixture no 79 into a dedicated MM Morgan Natural .
Close to finishing this bowl of D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite p-lip stem. Fed Suzy and Molly, and the ferals are due for eats once I finish this post.
Part way through this bowl of Wilke No. 222 in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is on the XM as I work.
Only blend I could derive any pleasure from tonight is Cockstrong, so I had two bowls. About to call it a night.
HH Bold Kentucky into a Ropp Canadienne with a earl grey tea while watching a conference about chivalry code & values in middle age. 
A quarter of the way through this bowl of D&R Penhooker in a 1990 straight dark brown Commemorative reproduction of the 1890 Peterson Patent System 12393 stack billiard with a silver band and a bowed black acrylic 32 AB long stem p-lip. Working and listening to The Green Hornet.
WILKE Peanut Butter in an Altinok Santa Meer.
