Rivertown Sir Vanderberry in a Meer. Moist out of the bag but not wet like some aromatics but not dry. Burns well and getting the berry taste as promised.

Up later this evening will be some SPC Plum Pudding BBA, after being allowed to dry for at least a couple hours. Just put some into the drying tray, and the smell might as well be a fresh bucket of fried chicken. Our dedicated tool will be the second bowl ever in a Genod bent brandy with bone stem.

And while we wait on the Plum Pudding to dry, how can I have any pudding if I don't smoke my Briarworks Country Lawyer oriental blend? Loaded and ready to go is the dark green Vauen '21 Model 8181 slightly curved apple with oval shank and saddle stem, miele insert, and some shiny, chrome-but-not-silver metal on either side. For my preferences, the bit on this thing is exquisite.

Love that pipe...
LOVE the Genods for the money. Virgin, or fresh off a refurb? Regardless, beautiful Rhodesian-ish Bulldog! Love the swirls on that medium brown stained briar!GLP Navigator in a Genod Bulldog

From Beyond (2023) in my first name brand pipe, a Sav Deluxe Milano.
Thanks much! Only several made it to retailers here, but of course I was late, and all were gone. I was determined to have one, so I found a dealer in Germany who had everything Vauen in stock.
Pegasus in an inaugural run of a big Whitehall billiard. It's only the first smoke but I think I'm gonna get along with this pipe.

Well done, both pipe and tobacco! Since you did the pipe, you'll know the answer to this one. What is the center part of the stem to shank ornamentation? I'm insanely picky about ornaments, because I want the wood to take center stage in a pipe where the wood grain is highly visible. I'm assuming unstained wood? What variety?
Thanks, and again, very nice work on the pipe.
Thanks for the compliment! Its actually a bit of whitetail deer antler.
