GH Best Brown in a Molina billiard while sipping on a brew of Hearny & Sons' Boston blend.
Trying out Ken Byron Ventures “Meditations” in my Peterson 80s bulldog.
This is nominally one of my Virginia/VaPer pipes, but it’s been around the block a few times, so I’m not as worried about putting offbeat stuff in it anymore. The tobacco was part of @AcesAndEights’ wonderful Secret Santa gift to me, and I’m loving it. Very tasty VaPer with some interesting flavor notes. TR says it has an apple cider vinegar and absinthe casing. I get hints of blue cheese at times — but in a good way.

Did a second set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of D&R Penhooker Silver in a 1979 rusticated brown Mauro Armellini 05 Corteccia Hungarian with a bronze accent on the shank and an acrylic pearl saddle stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in years. It's the top pipe in this photo. I need to have a stand alone photo for this pipe.
Smoking a Camacho Factory Unleashed 3 with some some St Louis cut spare ribs smoking. It's been a long day! Learning new appraisal software because of a major hack attack right before Christmas. No one knows when our normal program will be back up and running! 
Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2022 Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a 1990 smooth brown Peterson Irish Second Hungarian natural with a tapered black vulcanite fish tail stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
2013 C&D Pirate Kake in a Les Wood 3 Star Ferndown Bark Bent Bulldog with Silver. At our local B&M Pipe Night.
Tilling absorbent pellets into Bob’s stall, while having GH&Co Dark Flake Aro in the MM Morgan.
Capstan Blue Flake in a Pete PSB X105
Ready for tonight. Can't wait to try this one out.
@JimInks the Hungarian/ oom paul is probably my favorite shape. Yours are nice, enjoy

Now smoking Watch City Mistletoe Jam (Christmas 2022) in a 1979 smooth natural signed Rossi 1886 OomPaul 124 with a dark amber colored acrylic saddle stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in years.
Now smoking some Cornell and Diehl - Anthology in my Muhsin bent apple meer.
Peterson’s Nightcap in a James Upshall Churchwarden

Right pipe, wrong pipe description. Oh well...
It was a sienna toned slightly etched 1979 signed Rossi 1886 Visconte 245 Hungarian with a ring around the middle of the shank and an amber acrylic stem.
Fillmore in a Madmen era Dunhill 56 (c'est une pipe) & a Martini. What could be more classic; particularly the cocktail table.
