Rattray’s Old Gowrie purchased May 2020 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Another bowl of Wilke’s Lizzie’s Blood Orange VA in a Let the Freedom Ring cob.
Back in my spot after a long weekend of traveling with Cringle Flake 2022 in the Santa Claus meer
Just passing the first third of this bowl from a freshly opened tin of year 2015 John Aylesbury Sir John’s Flake Virginia in a 1937 straight smooth dark brown Kaywoodie 8776 B billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. First time smoking this pipe, too.
2016 Union Square in a Castello Old Antiquari 65
That was fun! these are of course two quite different tobaccos.. Both lit easily and burned great with no further match. MB cooler smoke, very soft. McConnell stronger flavors, a bit astringent and at one point had me running my tongue over my teeth thinking I had some candy in them. Touch more nic in McConnell, and, like my English wife who grew up in Scotland, beautiful, complex, and will get a bit spicy if pushed. 
And the winner is....: ME!

Yes yes - Marlin Flake in the '61 group 3 ShellDog.
Squadron Leader in a Musicò,
...followed by Wessex Campaign Dark Flake in this sweet little Stanwell Bamboo that just came in the mail from mkelaw-pipes.com. Dave Neeb was great to deal with, and very fair. He even included a free pen in the package! How sweet is that? I've never gotten a free pen from any of the other vendors. Only Christmas cards. Haha.

2020 Cringle Flake in an amber stemmed meer poker.
C&D Anthology in a 1931-1967 BBB Wyteway Billiard with vulcanite stem.

Watch City Slices in a Savinelli Moka 207 straight apple.
I have the same year and model pipe. Wonderful smoker.
Just finished some Smoker's Pride Classic blend in a Belgravia octagon billiard with spiced butter rum as my drink.
That’s a beauty. I didn’t want to start a new thread with this question so I thought I’d try it here: I’m thinking of buying an antique pipe with an orific bit. Is there any bad point about such a bit? I mean to the smoking experience? I’m supposing not since I seem to recall that you have more than one pipe as such? Thanks!
It’s only Tuesday and feels like Thursday, lol. Jason says the Xmas J.Everett is on the way so sorting out some gifts with the 2020 J.Everett and some 2012 McClelland Holiday Spirit I received from Santa @captainsousie last year. Good stuff! Haha, that pic was from the weekend, this stuff is way darker than that and pairs perfectly with hot chocolate!
Enjoying a mix of some home blend i got from a B&M store the other day with a touch of Sutliff 1-M vanilla. The home blend i cant recall the name and its not wrote on the bag. Its a very nice smoke similar to a english blend but not latakia heavy. Makes for a great all day smoke. Next visit im gonna buy more, very pleased with it and the Sutliff adds just a little more softness to the smoke.
Pipe is my 1961 Dunhill Shellbriar.

Peretti Ampersand Flake, rubbed out, in a sandblasted Martelo billiard. It feels like next Friday already. I hope everyone is staying warm in the states.
