That time of week has arrived and it’s time to watch UFC Fight Night. Going to have Cornell & Diehl Small Batch Folklore (2022, 805/1000) in an unbranded, unmarked, Magnum-sized Swan Neck LC (Large Curve) with a horn stem with an orific bit; this pipe is most likely French in origin, and may be from the late 19th or early 20th Century—it is curve drilled, has a bone tenon, and a cork mortise.
This might give a better idea of how large this pipe is:

Capt. Earles Ten Russians in a Becker Billiard with Cumberland.
Nice out this evening but rain is on the way. You folks around Middle TN & Kentucky stay safe in this weather.

Brown Bogie Twist from 8/19, acquired from the box pass this summer.
A couple bowls reserved for quality control of Silver Flake 660 while the rest is jarred for some aging. First time trying this Solani blend, too. In the SMS Big Bent Lattice Meer. Very easy light, and very smooth. Yeah, this is quality tobacco!
Smoking some MB Balkan Blend in a Castello #33 old sea rock whilst I research other Balkan Bkends. That said this Mac Baren rendition is pretty darn good.
2021 Esoterica Brighton in a 1967 - 1969 Dr. Grabow Commodore 65 Zulu, with a metal screw in tenon, the stinger removed, and a Vulcanite stem.
I haven’t smoked this in a few months, really amazed coming back to it, especially given what these sold for. When these came out, according to Pipedia they sold for $7.95 USD.
For the newer smokers, price doesn’t always equate to a better smoker.
Be well everyone!
P.S. I’ve had the pipe two years and the stem doesn’t oxidize, which amazes me, and I’m really glad, because I thought with an older inexpensive pipe like this, it would be a nightmare of up keep. But the quality is amazing, and still looks like new.

That's a beautiful $8 pipe. My father-in-law always jokes 7.95 is American for 8 dollars.

Two Dunhills and an Ascorti (thanks @Ahi Ka). My blend, "Smooth Criminal", an "Ah Ka Blend", and some 2019 Stonehenge.
Winding down with some well-aged BBF in a '31 36.
About a third of a bowl left of Ken Byron Ventures Mr. Christian’s Brown Flek 2021 in a 1984 smooth brown full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
The blast on the front is really wild for an $8 pipe LOL
Not sure if you saw this pic before.
Kramer’s Father Dempsey in a Kurt Balleby “B” bent brandy.
Nice looking pipe! What is it?
4 year old Rattray's Jock's Mixture in a Bruno Nuttens Bing.
I have to try this! Do you squirt it on after loading the bowl or..?
Dark Fragrant from a Sergei Cherepanov bent apple.
