MB's Old Dark Fired in an MM Bracken Cob

Decided to have another smoke before I go out to feed sheep. The Dr. Grabow with C&D Briar Fox.

Superb morning here on the farm, starting to get that autumn/fall feel here now. Smoking some PS Cube Cut in a cob with some coffee in the Yeti whilst I run some fences.

MB Navy Flake in a Pete SH Hudson

 

[Ben.R.C]

Cracked 3rd tin of Anthology ‘23, I would smoke a lot of this if it were readily available. In a Satou.

Enjoying a bowl of Briar Fox in a little Devils Cutty corncob after a wonky day.

 

[JimInks]

Just finished cleaning a few pipes, and this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2021 HU Directors Cut in a smooth slight bend dark brown 1940s-1950s Comoy’s Blue Riband 228C prince with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Blessedly, the temperature stayed low enough for snow, as evidenced in the photographs below. Went out to graze the mustang and get in a bowl of C&D Black Frigate (sample) in a MM Dagner Poker.

Bird report:

Horse enjoyed the room note, but preferred the tumbleweeds. Such is (equine) life.

C&D's Night Train in a Stanwell 63M
View attachment 285100

I've got a 63M in their Vario finish. Maybe I'm courting controversy here, but for everything connected with pipe admiration (looks, feel in hand, engineering, smoking satisfaction, etc), I think the Stanwell 63M absolutely HAS to be on the Mount Rushmore of pipes (!!!).

Sam's flake in my meerschaum, but since I have a mandate to smoke it a minimum of twice a day, pictures of it are getting tired.

Instead I thought I'd share a picture of my newly, radically condensed pipe drawer; twenty pipes I like to smoke.

Left hand and center column are all Dunhills, arranged by shape/size and ranging in vintage from 1931 to 1999. Right hand column shows two Italian pipes, a Japanese pipe, two Danish pipes and the meer I'm smoking now.

Greatly enjoyed zooming in on this. I admire your collection. Makes me want a classically shaped bent billiard pretty bad

Earlier today, Five Brothers in the little Peterson. Then Pegasus in the old Lord Kirk


Now on to Pegasus in the G Canadian

Orlik DSK in a Savinelli Luisa Fiammata

 

[alexishector]

Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of D&R Windsail in a straight smooth brown undated (1940s?) Orlik Reject London Made 0 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. All the regular ferals are inside for now, and what ends up happening will determine whether or not I have another smoke before bed time.

It’s been a quiet day with the ferals. About thirty minutes ago, I heard the unnamed bushy tail striped feral moaning loudly. I went outside and Abner the Eager was at the door. I let him to eat, but the moaning didn’t stop. Then, I saw Sam the Scamp next to bushy tail stripes. They always seem to get along with each other, and I’ve seen them together several times. I got Sam and brought him inside in hopes that B.T.S. would come to me since it stayed on the deck with me outside. I put food down, and it started coming to me, but I moved my foot, and that move apparently scared it away. A few minutes later, I tried again, and it just stood there while I talked to it. Then, it started backing away and looking towards my right when it heard Tomato the Brave. It ran under the deck lounge and would not come out CRYSTAL PRO MAX 4003. I let Tomato in the house, but I was never able to get B.T.S. to come near me again. That’s about the way it goes.

I'm smoking Cornell and Diehl Winchester. A very straight forward blend of Red Virginia and unsweetened black Cavendish (Kentucky Green River Burley). Great all day smoke plus available in bulk.
