Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2016 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.

Haha! I am not that adventurous! But you're right; it's a fun pipe. It's a full-sized bulldog bowl, just shortened (a lot), and even after reading the dimensions, and kind of understanding what I was going to get, I was certainly surprised by it when it arrived. It's my first Savinelli and it's a good smoker.
Did a set of walking reps on this warm, sunny day, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Good evening. We start with a bowl of C&D Super Balkan, in a MM General bent. And a shot of 100 proof rye whiskey. While I'm drying some Mississippi Mud for after dinner. And smoke in a pipe bent MM Diplomat.
Peterson Short 03 and KBV Van Gogh. 
Having burned seemingly a month's worth of calories shoveling snow over the past couple days, I think it's time for something a little less anatomically taxing. Walking down to the corner store for a couple yellow onions should be a welcome reduction in movement. Taking along a bowl of Sutliff Match Victorian in my MM Country Gent.
Much better than this:

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
For the love of God. Damn onions of the demons. It looks like a scene from the Fargo series.

Smoking some Peter Stokkebye's Optimum in a Blatter & Blatter Oom Paul, Anniversary Edition. One red dot and one white one. Signed by Patrick. Got 8 oz of this in yesterday's delivery from 4noggins Gotta smoke it slow - I can tell it wants to burn my tongue.
Rivendell in a Stanwell Rook, still raining nonstop but no complaints the splendid aroma of sweet tobacco and dark roast coffee in a comfortable chair with a good book makes the day completely perfect 
Just got back inside from standing out on the back porch smoking yet another cob (I've got a pile of at least a dozen Missouri Meerschaums used for sampling new blends, smoking when the weather is bad, or just because I like them and don't feel like having to clean my expensive briars afterwards). We had a decent dump of snow last night, and when I returned to the kitchen my wife joked that I should go back outside and build a snowman to showcase my cob collection. Thought that was a funny idea on her part, but because I'm too old and lazy to do that I just decided to opt for borrowing the following pic from Wikipedia... 
2017 Orlik Golden Sliced in a 1940’s Yello-Bole Premier Dublin.
Decided to have Barclay-Rex Maiden Lane again in an H.G.P. Briar Root Opera with a round chamber, since this pipe has a Barclay-Rex tie-in (H.G.P. made pipes for Barclay-Rex)*.
*This one goes out to @SBC because I know he appreciates the history surrounding H.G.P. pipes.

Esoterica Tilbury, generously sent to me by Scott/SBC, last night in a Rossi 8404 yacht, and later today in a Sav bent billiard 606 briar carved as corncobs. This is a refined Virginia blend with burley as a condiment. It reminds me of the discontinued Nat Sherman 536 blend which was a lively but not overbearing English blend with burley.
Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a navel orange and a Jazz apple on the side. I'm half way through this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a straight 1924 Dunhill’s “Shell Briar” patent pot 7 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Lavazza Espresso, neat, is my drink. Watching an episode of Nova about the Webb telescope.
MB HH Pure Virginia in an Altinay.
Smoking some Sutliff Match Holiday Mixture in a Sunrise apple.
Smoking some Sutliff's Peaches and Cream for the first time. Part of the shipment I got yesterday from 4noggins. Smoking it in a Blatter & Blatter slightly bent with one red dot. As a starter, I bought 8 ounces of the stuff. Thank God I like it! Still, Creme Brulee (from the same shipment) Is the tobacco to beat. MAN, is that a nice smoke!
