I've had a good run of aromatics lately so decided to reset with my own take on the Va/Bur/Per classic. The smoking items come from the '50s (pocketknife), '60s (lighter), and'70s (Yorkshire pipe).
Now, that's a sweet little thing. Must try a small clay one day!
Don't know why, but every time I see that tin of tobacco, "Two Mules for Sister Sarah" comes to mind. Kinda irritating, like a banal tune running through your mind.
Just a Peterson Saint Patrick's Day 2013 XL90. Nothing all that special, right? Well it's very special to me actually. It was one of the first pipes I bought, along with my first Nording Signature. I wasn't making much money at the time so both pipes, although relatively inexpensive, was seriously splurging! One of my first "real" pipes, my very first Peterson, and it's been a companion all these years now. I would never part with it. I'm finishing off my day with this pipe filled with The Country Squire's Old Toby. Happy smokes, everyone.
Now smoking Gawith Hoggarth’s North Star in the Luigi Viprati Collection Silver Dragon 
“B” pipe (#coldrab)

C&D Kajun Kake in a Tsuge.
Dan Hamborger Veermaster in a Sasieni Four Dot “Warwick “.
Thanks. I like my little clays a lot. The black one is reserved Pirate Kake. Just seems to fit.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught cat fish and snow peas dinner. I'm smoking year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a slight bend 1968 group 4S Dunhill Shell 475 cherrywood with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Daisy the Feral Princess has spent the last ten minutes or more fighting a rug and a cat nip toy, separately and together. At one point, she had the toy caught in her claw, and was beating it against the rug. She'd make mince meat of Tarzan.
2019 Capstan Blue Flake in an Altinay.
Just opened a 10 year old tin old C&D Old Grove (Cellar Series). Pipe is a Baglan claw and egg meer. Only had 2 bowls but the initial impression is favorable.
GLP Cumberland in a trusty Peterson bulldog.
This Exclusive is making me realize how much I like perique.
A graphic artist I certainly am not. In fact, the final result of my other related experiment was a little off-putting, even to me (the tin art, the tobacco blend is fantastic).Don't know why, but every time I see that tin of tobacco, "Two Mules for Sister Sarah" comes to mind. Kinda irritating, like a banal tune running through your mind.
2015 gaslight in a Boswell freehand. Picture messed up haha
2019 Louisiana Broken in my Former bamboo billiard tonight.
Prince Albert in a Grabow 03 Free Hand Blast. This is a stellar smoker, and incredible grain, especially for a Grabow.
