The actual loaded ammo will be out on a handgun Javelina hunt next weekend.Actually the size and weight tamps perfectly if “dropped” from about 1/2”.

A cup of Pu’erh tea accompanying.

Derriston(Derringer and Coniston) in a Blakemar Briars Aristocrat Sir Douglas(a stubby lovat). Ice water to wet my whistle.
T.G.I.F.!! Another work week is in the books, and I’m ready to unwind. I’m smoking a bowl of Capstan blue in the garage, because the wind is just relentless today. A pour of Four Gate bourbon finished in Apera Sherry casks will get the weekend started.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Sun Bear 2019 in Peterson POTY 2019 rusticated P-lip. Just wonderful sitting under the sun smoking a pipe.
Dan Tobacco Mallard Flake Plus Perique in my J Mouton. I stopped in the B&M to buy her out of Capstan Blue, she says this is the first Dan Tobacco she's been able to get in. Great day for me!
One of my favorites from my recent estate lot wins today. I'm a big fan of leather wrapped pipes, and this Longchamp Opera is in great shape. Packed with Granger and smoking well.
Peterson Sherlock Holmes original Original and Newminster 400. 
Sun Bear Mountain Flower in a Castello epoca.
Running the dogs out in some cold sunshine and christening the new Peterson 2023 SPD 107 with a bowl of Irish Dew.
Not far from finishing this bowl of Wilke Rum and Maple in a straight smooth with a tobacco leaf carving on the bottom left, dark brown 1980s Sir Brent pot with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Smoking some C&D Autumn Evening in a Blatter & Blatter slightly bent with one red dot. The bowl is packed so well that the tobacco doesn't even know it is being smoked.
On deck is some 10 year old Peterson's Gold Blend to be smoked in a bent Grabow.
C&D Bayou Night, a strong English blend, in my favorite Dr. Grabow pipe, a Royalton bulldog, slightly bent. The pipe has no bead lines but is exquisitely shaped; clearly there are some artists on the factory line. It has a light tortoise shell saddle stem. I fantasize that the old timer who shapes these pipes either retired or was off the line for some reason, and someone else had to train to make them again, since they disappeared from the inventory for about a year.Even the stamp is done with surety.
