Interesting and beautiful pipe. It (to me) avoids being ostentatious by the quality of it's components and the design shape itself. It simply "works" !
Mac Baren Scottish blend from a tin circa 2004 in a BC faux bamboo
What a great day it's been at the Salton Sea, good friends, good food, and good smokes. After coming in from a little off roading with my son I had a hankering for something sweet. Cue C&D Chocolate Supreme in my cob. A little while later I went back to my Canadian Club loaded with Baker Street.
Unfortunately, I didn't see a rattle snake rodeo @gord. Hopefully next time time though!

I was bummed (but saved some money) by them not doing a 53 P-lip.
Couple of Danish apples today.
1st this short oval-stemmed Refbjerg with a slightly forward canted bowl
With a bowl of well rubbed out Escudo Navy de Luxe

Last pipe of the day and I think I am ending up where I started. Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in a Falcon.
A few firsts this evening...
Trying a sample, graciously gifted by @Fralphog, of WCC Waltham Broken Cake. Smoking it in a new Chacom smooth brown reverse calabash. Excellent smoke! Burley isn't usually my go-to, but this is having me rethinking that.
This baccy is pairing very nicely with a little Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva rum.

Having Cornell & Diehl Exclusive in my “Second Chance” pipe, a sandblasted Savinelli Autograph Fan (with a finger hole) that serves as a reminder to me of the most precious things in life—family and friends, while I work on some art for a Weird Tales Presents book cover.
I also wanted to share Susan’s Valentine’s Day gift to me, an assortment of tobacco seeds. I will attempt growing some Yenidje, and these six this year.

Nice! I didn't know anyone else even knew who Steve Roach is. I had the pleasure of seeing him live in Portland 20 some years ago. I nearly always have ambient music in the background while I'm smoking.
Likewise! I mean, he's been making music for nearly half a century, but ambient is not the most glamorous genre, I suppose. Saw him live in Santa Fe 2018 (got to meet him and Linda, which was a real honor), and in Pasadena 2019, which ended up being recorded and released as "The Sky Opens." Title track of Western Spaces always reminds me of visiting my maternal grandfather in Palm Springs as a kid...even makes me tear up from time to time!
Continuing to use more inexpensive pipes since we have 20 mph sustiained winds with 40 mph gusts. I thought why not MM Country Gentleman (Burley, KDF and perique) in a MM Country Gentleman.
1792DKF in a Kaywoodie Capmus White Briar Belgique, under a waning moon.
Man, that is one very different Dunhill stummel. Did you select it for that reason? Much more character than most sandblasts.
The next pipe is a Peter Hedegaard slim shanked Apple
With a bowl of Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls - the STG stablemate of the previous Escudo
