Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a Sasieni 4 dot
Golden slice in a Comoy Blue Riband, 50s or 60s
22°, sunny, and clear. Stanwell with 5 year old LNF. First smoke of the week. A decent smoke. 7.5/10
GL Pease Cumberland in a Savinelli 315 KS. 
Sutliff 507C VA Flake in the KW Meer Billiard.
I usually cube cut flakes and gravity feed. But, decided to revisit fold and stuff. Followed the @hoosierpipeguy technique from “How to fold a flake” thread.
I ended up with a “ plug” that fit nicely into this pipe. Due to the length of these flakes, the bowl isn’t not full- about 3/4.
A cup of strong black Kenya tea accompanying.

I had to double check the email archives to be sure, sometimes get confused. Got into all this because of a pic of this model pipe in Pointing Dog Journal - sort of a centerfold, lol, accompanying an article about all the stuff some guy carries in his vest. Something about it intrigued me, then found out it was almost impossible to find one and magically a US supplier (EA Carey) had one. So, it was the first pipe I ever puchased. While on the hunt for this I was already lurking quietly around here and being a Sherlock Holmes geek of sorts finally decided I needed a Peterson Rathbone which arrived within a few days of this one and I'd found the No. 515 at Wilke and so that was my first bowl. Blah, blah, blah, just reminiscing, lol. Old dog has a little intestinal problem, so luckily I can work from home because we've been out four times in the last 6 hours, napping peacefully now and after bit I'll feel safe leaving him until the wife gets home from work since I need to go in. So . . . Nording Woodcock and the rest of the Wilke Santa's Blend I held back from the jar. This is on my "great smoking pipe" list. Sorry for the long post.

Cool!!! I had just gotten this pipe out to be at the ready for when I return from a meeting this evening from which I'll definitely need to unwind, lol. Now reviewing posts because I'm behind, so glad it's Feb. 1, saves me several pages, nice coincidence, could be a cousin to yours. This one is a 1976 Tanshell in an unusual 31CY "tall billiard" shape - now my only Dunhill (it was a great summer, haha). Some Kramer's Blend For Cary Grant seems right for it.
About half way through this bowl of year 2014 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.
PS Luxury Navy in my Peterson Kinsale XL 11.
Good February all. Starting the month with Troutstream in a Brigham smooth rhodesian. 
Cringle Flake 2021 in a Castello Sea Rock 65.
GH&Co Dark Plug in an old Yello-Bole Thorn.
Working on this bowl of War Horse Bar that I started yesterday. Mm, mm, just ordered another tin.
Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this 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.
Three Nuns tonight in my 1st pipe which is a classic model from the MM Corn Cob pipes offering.
It seems that after all, winter came here. It gets chilly after sunset in Athens, around 7 Celsius. The mountains around the city and all over the country have started to be covered with snow.
As I was doing my slow jogging routine tonight, I found a -bent- pipe on the -dirty- pavement. It seems that it fell from someone. Or he left it there. I did the same. Perhaps he will come back to collect it.
The second to last thing I wish it would be taken from me is imagination. Last is humour.
A happy month to all, good people.
