Stokkebye Danish black in this Sōren hand made, perfect match. I brought the pipe 47 years ago. It’s a trusty companion, enjoying it with tea 
Just finished smoking year 2020 H&H Chatham Manor in a straight black sandblasted, smooth dark brown top bowl 2021 Jim Brown stack bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Watching an episode of Asia on BBC America.
Now smoking Seattle Pipe Club Virginia Jazz in a smooth medium brown medium bend 1950s B.B.B. Own Make 307 apple with a sterling silver band and black vulcanite saddle stem.
Now smoking Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. Only have a few bowls left, and then, I'll clean this pipe some, and smoke the original No. 515 in it. Fed all the ferals except for Abner the Eager who didn't show up today. Tomato the Brave was on my lap for an hour, and as soon as I got up to feed the cats, Sleepy Suzy got by my side. Molly Danger has been on m'lady's lap for several hours.
One of my favorite pipes has a name, "Plain Jane," a BriarWorks black, bent, sandblasted pot with saddle stem. 9mm, but as you'd expect, wide open draw without a filter. BW Back Down South VaPer was tonight's entree', and the beverage was Community Coffee, black. Because of course.
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69. 
Just finished smoking first production Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a smooth medium bend terracotta Peterson POY 2023 X160 464/1100 military mount egg with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
Now smoking first release Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a straight smooth brown 1920s-30s Sasieni patent 8 dot Marborough lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching Green Acres. Haven't seen this show in many years, but it always made me laugh. Especially Mr. Haney. I used to know a fella who did a very accurate impersonation of that character.
Something, maybe, for March Pipe Club?
Another Nording. I hope ya'll aren't getting tired of them. But you see, this one is special. Years ago now, Peckinpahombre sent me a message stating he was sending me a little something. I was excited, thinking he was sending me some tobacco blend samples. I remember when the package arrived, I had an awful day at work. Getting the package that day made my day so much better. Upon opening the package, I was shocked to find this Grade 13 Nording along with a Nording Tamper. I will always remember that act of kindness and be thankful when I look upon or smoke this wonderful pipe. Loaded up now with some Frog Morton's Cellar. Thanks again, Peck.
Having Sutliff The Old Boss 175th Anniversary in one of my Birthday Haul 2025 pipes, a marTelo (Gustavo Cunha) Sandblasted Swan Neck Bent Billiard with Ivorite accent and purple and pink swirled Vulcanite stem.
Now smoking year 2016 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown post-1964 Parker Super Bruyere 88/F group 3 bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.
Morning smoke of Barens Golden Extras in an Ashton XX Old Church Long Canadian anno 2020
I noticed a while ago that Poo-Bah has a pipe called Emina. Are all named pipes feminine, I wonder? In Welsh, French, Italian, German and Spanish, the noun 'pipe' has the feminine gender ascribed to it, and in no language I know, is it masculine. I mentioned this curio to Mrs Badger the other day: she reckons it's because most men don't want to be sucking on a masculine appendage.
Near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2010 Mac Baren Burley London Blend in a smooth medium bend 2011 Rinaldo Collection Fiammata Silver Line 7 Odea 04 flame grain bulldog with a silver band and a tortoise shell acrylic saddle stem. This ought to do it for me today.
Started the morning with Bob's Chocolate Flake in a cob
