Ive been on the Ennerdale train this weekend. It's a great ride. I've now designated an old patent Era Brigham 1 dot billiard as an Ennerdale pipe
I've been looking for a Pony Hair Longchamp! Very cool to see other than an ad.
I’m smoking Cringle Flake 2020 in a no name billiard meer and drinking Michter’s Barrel Strength Toasted Barrel Rye. Cheers!
I love walking and I love pipe smoking. But I can never combine the 2. (Hence my signature line) Nonetheless, I wish all who enjoy Lunting a joyful time.
Pre dinner smoke. I tried this mix a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it.
75% Boswell’s Best Arro
25% C&D Latakia
Transforms this Arro into a whole new, wonderful smoke. Makes me think of the saying, put a little “English” on it.
I’m smoking the Altinay Rusticated Dublin.
A wee dram of Scotch is in order.

Thanks, Birddog. You’ve made my wife very happy. She tells me they’re early 2020, from the esteemed Target collection.?
Just finished smoking year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a black sandblast PSB medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 228/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Super Bowl.
@Ahi Ka I'd have helped you clear the fallen trees if I wasn't so far away; I'd have smoked my clay pipe with you as well...
@das3353 I've got some Yorktown to smoke in my clay pipes; going to save it for the Redcoats and Revolutionaries at Cromford Mill in May. Need to make sure I don't smoke it!
Drew Estate Gatsby Luxury Flake in my Foyard Beechwood Rhodesian, with a small cup of coffee. Bird report: California scrub-jay, California towhee, House finch, Common raven, Northern flicker, Ring-necked dove, Dark-eyed junco, and one soaring Red-tailed hawk. Much better than the Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged 2020 I had yesterday. Stuff is just...meh.
Voodoo Queen in a Savinelli Autograph Linea Artisan.
I guess it makes sense to break in this pipe on the Birthday Weekend—this is another one of those cases where I kept returning to smokingpipes.com and found myself gawking at this pipe repeatedly (Weeks? Months? I can't recall.) Its graceful curves, perfect roundness, and grain made me want to keep looking at it. I'd seen some Meerschaum pipes that came close in shape, but none with such a low profile. I remember being on the subway back in November looking at it when the site had some huge discount, which ultimately made me pull the trigger. I didn't plan on spending this much on a pipe, but, I knew I'd forever regret not getting it. I could easily see myself hunting for it, or one like it, for years to come if I didn't get it (at least I learned something useful from all those years of collecting rare books that could be applied to other things). Not intending it to be a pricey sculpture that just sits on a shelf, it's time to initiate it and smoke it.
Having Esoterica Pembroke (2021) in a Todd Johnson Smooth Tomato (Hoplite).
After its purchase, I tried writing to Todd Johnson to see if he might have any original sketches of this pipe he'd be willing to part with—I wrote to him via his personal site, but, didn't hear back—I wonder if I should try via BriarWorks instead.

Closing in on the half way mark on this bowl of year 2016 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem.
Round 2! Rattray's Exotic Passion in a freestanding vase by Sergey Cherapanov with some ABK6 VSOP Cognac. Might have to put a sweater on soon though...
Watching the Super Bowl and have smoked a super bowl of Union Square. Not sure what this little health episode is so far but have already let work know I won't be coming in this week.
Bravo! @TheIronMonkey
An absolutely stunning pipe. Congratulations! I’m sure you will enjoy many wonderful smokes in this pipe.
