Some Silver Quarter in this Radice Silk Cut. Great little pipe and tobacco.
Almost half way through this bowl of year 2024 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. Fed Sleepy Suzy, Daisy the Feral Princess, Tomato the Brave, and Harry the Hairy. Abner the Eager isn't here right now. I'll feed Molly Danger after this post.
Macbaren Classic Rollcake in a Gasparini. 
View to the end of my street this morning.
Fired up a warm bowl of Kendal Cream in a Celebi deep lattice for my morning walk with the pooch.
And off we went...into the chill.
Yep, i'm ready to get back to Florida. However, this old girl seems to do better with the cold than the heat in her golden years. I'm just the opposite!

Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem.
I've been enjoying (surviving) daddy/daughter day since i had the day off. My little one just went down for a nap so I set up the nanny cam and snuck into the garage to enjoy my pipe and a good read.
Joining me on today's epic adventure through the Hobbit is my trusty Pete loaded with GH dark plug paired with a delightfully black coffee. Such a delectable treat
Happy Friday/Valentines day everyone!

Taking my daughter to work and smoking 2012 Crooner.
WCC Rouxaroux in a Vauen Duett bent egg with water. Not looking forward to shoveling again. 
Bald Headed Teacher in this Savinelli Logo 606 KS. Iced Tea. Pleasant and warm Friday afternoon.
Currently smoking my CAO - Sherlock Holmes meer with some McClelland - #2015 Virginia Perique Flake from 2014.
My little one is still napping so in the spirit of solidarity with the dwarves, as they encounter Smaug, I decided to load up my little stout Canadian Club pot with HH Bold Kentucky paired with a decaf vanilla black tea with a touch of cream.
This little pipe is quickly becoming a favorite workhorse of mine.

That's a handsome setup that looks like you can get a 2 hour smoke from!
Enjoyed a Jethro Bodine size bowl of Raisin Bran with extra raisins thrown in, followed by some bean dip and tortilla chips. Dessert was a few freshly made chocolate chip cookies and a golden delicious apple. I'm nearing the half way point of this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Cafe 645, neat, is my drink.
Once I quit clays in the mid 1980s and those types of meerschaum pipes were cheap and plentiful I never looked back. Your observations regarding the pipe and smoking plug or twist is 100% correct. If you are going to use it on a regular basis buy a pack of soft long stem pipe cleaners and don't try detaching the stem from the shank. Enjoy you new friend!- It's a replacement stem, thanks to Mike Billington of Blakemar Briars, and half an inch shorter than the original (broken off at the lip). I shall PM you for details of that cunning artificer of dolls' houses' dinky hinge replacements - diolch yn fawr
I had thought that the canted bowl angle would have indicated an earlier date, as it seems ideal for simply leaning forwards, the pipe still in your mouth, toward a candle flame, to relight it - and otherwise, bloody awkward... however, no hallmark on the band - which is, I think, silver-electroplated Britannia metal so - unless it's nickel silver - thinking about it some more, you're probably about right on the date, as the process wasn't patented until 1846. And of course such a canted pipe could equally conveniently be lit from an oil lamp or a gas mantle.
And another thing: you are absolutely right, that an old design of pipe best suits an old style of tobacco: what was borderline harsh in a fairly short Zulu briar yesterday, smoked beautifully today in a long-stemmed Meer with a more cylindrical chamber. It was a glorious smoke. I had intended the pipe for display only, but... oh, maybe I'll see if I can commission a new Meer in the same style. Thanks again.
2-3 hours with that one. It has a 1"×2" chamber. My favorite of my Falcon bowls.
Enjoyed some unsalted peanuts, and have passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2013 Rotary Navy Cut in a post-1938 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 bulldog with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Nigel Bruce smoked this model in two Sherlock Holmes movies. Please consider asking Shane Ireland at Smoking Pipes and Peterson to bring the pipe back into production. Going to clean a few pipes.
