Near the last third of this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. All the cats have eaten. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

HU Edward G in a Peterson Sportsman 87, letting out the horses and the ladies.

I had higher hopes for this blend-it’s in the neighborhood, but just misses the mark with me.

Love the “upside down” ferrule!

First time trying a Toscano -- this is the Antico. I can see why some folks put these in a holder of some sort -- they're just so narrow to hold. I'm enjoying it -- they really are "no fuss."

Iced tea -- Marks & Spencer Extra Strong.

Hey @infectedpsyche I noticed you often smoke the Classico. I was hoping to compare Classico vs Antico, but my "guy" didn't have Classico in stock. You prefer the Classico? BTW, I enjoyed your "primer" on the easygars, thanks for posting that, although I may "try" fabricating my own, before acquiring. FYI, I also went ammezzato style, for my maiden voyage.

Glad you enjoy the Antico, it is actually my favorite of what’s available in the US. Classico is very good as well but has a bitter edge to it where the Antico seems a little peppery. Ammezzato is for sure the way to go with them!

About to light up my Huseyin Cor Hawkbill meer with some Rattray's - Exotic Passion as I watch the Seahawks vs Panthers game.

2013 F&T CVP in this nice old Grabow Golden Duke pot. I need to smoke this pipe more often.
