Good day, all! Exclusive in a Chheda billiard. This pipe is stamped 007, the 7th pipe Premal made. It is shown in his Pipedia profile. I have a small collection of his pipes that I will be smoking over the next couple of weeks.
A pot of Harney and Sons Lampsang Souchong on the side. 10° colder here in Ohio compared to yesterday but sunny. A warming trend is apparently on the way. Predicted high of 34° F.

An uncommonly beautiful night for December -- 60 degrees, hardly a breeze. Calls for celebration with a pretty decent cigar: Oliva Serie V. 🍂 🍁

Ripping a page out of @CPT 's playbook, with Harney & Sons Russian Country. 🇷🇺 :coffee:

Jazz, I really like Harney and Sons Russian Country. I am glad to see you like it as well. I assume it is a Russian Caravan blend, which I see frequently in the postings. I am a huge fan of Lampsang Souchong which is a component but it is softened by the other leaves. A very "flavorsome" blend. (Loose tea is the way to go, too!)

Good morning! Mac Baren Mixture Modern in a Stanwell H. C. Andersen black sandblast churchwarden. Cameron's Pumpkin Spice coffee. Currently 7°; high of 24° expected. Must run the car to keep the battery in good condition, so will likely get groceries in an attempt to prevent cabin fever through some sort of human contact.

Have learned to retrohale at will, thanks to a video in which it was suggested that one should imagine being made to laugh while having just taken a sip of something. Have subsequently learned not to hotbox a pipe while practicing. My nose is recovering. :)

Wishing you a lovely day.

That 608 seems like the perfect pot. I don't recall seeing that Peterson shape often (or ever?). And I've been wanting to add a pot to my arsenal. Hmmm ... got me thinking. Curses, @BenMN .. I don't need to be pipe shopping! 😻
It's a good little shape that I have come to really appreciate. The 608 is smaller than the 606

At first I was disappointed that it did not have a 20mm chamber as stated. When I got over that I learned to appreciate it for what it is

*if you look on Smokingpipes don't get to hung up on measurements. When it comes to Peterson they are often cut and paste
