This beautiful 5 POINTED Three Star Lee Bullmoose with a black saddle stem is filled with Tilbury.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am passing the quarter mark of this bowl of KBV B. Frog’s Study in Scarlet in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a tapered gold and black swirl acrylic stem. Drinking Lavazza Classico, neat, from a freshly opened bag.

Coniston Cut Plug in a rusticated Peterson Junior squat Rhodesian. This tobacco hits all my receptors beautifully. Lately, this and St Bruno are crowding out all my other blends. I guess I'm a Fermanagh codger at heart.

3 year old Newminster #403 in a Peterson, black coffee to drink.

GLP Regents Flake in a Castello 1982 great line.

Closing out my “on the clock” smokes today with SG 1792DKF in the Short Army. I love this pipe!!

 

[Sobrbiker]

Glad you are better!

Thanks! Still feel wrung out, but getting there.
Hope you’re well.

Bosun cut plug in a cob.

 

[Christos D. Tsatsaronis]

In a George Leoussis pipe, smoking some Käpt'n Barsdorf's Bester blue.
Trying to make jar labels for this blend.
One of the warmest Decembers I remember in Athens (Greece).

Be well good people!

2017 Haunted Bookshop in my short Peterson.
Took a few extra pictures as I recently cleaned her up. Hoping someone can help me understand this grain. Very fine, and the ends are not birdseyes but rather solid short lines at cross-section.

Is this what some call angel hair?

I’m wondering if your pipe was cut with the plateau oriented at the bottom and we’re seeing the Birdseye being sliced at an angle along the shank so that you’re not seeing the normal curlicues. Just a guess. I’m thinking a pipemaker would know grain better.

2020 Newminster 400 in a Pete PSB X105

That’s a handsome pipe

Watch City Blue Ridge in a Peterson Rocky Donegal

@OzPiper ’s and @Cloozoe ’s earlier “Montague Alexander Montague” exchange prompted me to have Esoterica Tobacciana And So to Bed in a Montague Alexander Friedlander silver capped and banded Billiard with amber stem with orific bit (1898).

You dig the Match Elizabethan man?

It’s tornado’y in my neck of the woods too

Which just means very windy out and no actual tornadoes. Sorry for any confusion

I think these short army release earlier this year were a tremendous deal. I got 2, my favored one is the 69. Great little performers for the $.

Did a second set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2012 Carter Hall in a 2015 Basil Meadows black sandblasted billiard with an aluminum band and a pearl red acrylic tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
