You have posted it before and it is stunning! Will the bowl separate from the stummel?
Near the last third of this bowl of year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. I may end the day with this smoke.
Exclusive in my huge lattice meer. I wish I knew who made it! It was a gift and the case has no label in it.
Then had some burley flake #1 in this Peterson Rocky Donegal 106.
I May throw a little Abingdon in my Boswells freehand yet tonight. We’ll see if the insomnia needs company hahaha.
BriarWorks Back Down South VaPer slices in a smooth Moonshine Stoker.
Like the ferocious solo violin part from Stravinsky's "L'Histoire du Soldat", the half-bowl and AE are now in my repertoire.
@gord have you ever tried "Mad Fiddler Flake"? Asking for a friend.
VERY nice Bos! J.M. Boswell is one of the most underrated guys making pipes today. All great smokers. And he's just a great guy, to boot.
Frog Morton's Cellar in yet another Nording. This is an interesting one, aside from the amazing grain. It has the stamping, 19 300. I contacted Nording in an attempt to discover more about this one, but it was unknown, other than maybe a special run for a group of some sort. It's a lovely pipe which photos do it no justice. I've yet to see a Nording with a similar stamp.
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69. 
Any chance you are working the French contest while enjoying that Haunted Bookshop Cake? I'm hearing (and working) some strong European stations tonight/this morning on 40M including those foxtrot stations the contest.
Codger time, Lol. Mixture 79 in a Linkmans Grabow De Luxe
Haven't been very active lately, need to get on the air. My activity has gone down since not many station are not qrv in RTTY.
Old Joe Krantz in an Irish Seconds Calabash 05.
Ok I see, I've not gotten into digital modes yet but I will have to rectify that soon and try RTTY myself when I figure it out. What I've heard and worked has all been SSB recently. 10M was very busy during the day. Looking forward to seeing your avatar change from the DX commander to a tower and a Yagi.
I have a 2 Element Mosley that will go up in the spring. I took down and sold my Fritzel yagi last summer because it was shadowing my solar panels. The new yagi is going up on the other side. I work quite a bit of DX with the DX Commander. 10m here is hard because of east European stations with large yagis , kilowatts of power and 6khz wide signals.
Very nice! A tower and Yagi might be in my future, but I think a vertical like the DX Commander may be in my very near future. Hope to hear and work you on the air sometime.
