I noticed a couple of beautiful Wiley’s on the thread, so I grabbed mine. 
It’s a terrible picture but I’ve thrown some Le Brumeuse in my huge Donegal Rocky. It’s time for some funky burley!
Kohlhase & Kopp Caribbean Blue/Drake will be the inaugural smoke in this Nording Signature... I was going to give Nordings a rest for awhile but this one just arrived a couple hours ago and I'm not waiting!
Smoking on some GLP Cumberland in a Peterson, watching the rain come down. At least it's not snow.
Bowl of dregs here. Last of the tins of Chenet's Cake and Kajun Kake mixed with some Bayou Morning Flake left on my prep board. Not half bad, comes across a bit more floral than any of the three components. Smoking a Peterson POTY 2024.
Yup, a pretty lassie indeed. Nice pipe too . . . one of the beauties of a Falcon is the availability of custom bowls from different sources - I have a couple, and frankly they outperform a lot of the "house" bowls available when you buy the stem. That one you have on the pipe looks great. I especially like my Falcons for Navies, Englishes and codgers. Terrific for anything with lat in it especially, at least on my tastebuds.
Why thank you! I really like the "design your own pipe" customization aspect of Falcons too, and as luck would have it I actually just got a custom block meerschaum Falcon bowl from CPW Pipes in Turkey in the mail today! I still like the look of the Bantam Dublin bowl the best, but I think this meerschaum bowl will be really practical for all day everyday smoking; and it brings the weight of the whole pipe down to just 0.9 ounces so it should be great for lunting.
I'm currently breaking in the new meerschaum bowl with (you guessed it) Kendal Dark.

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2016 Newminister 400 Superior Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown year 1948 Parker Super Bruyere patent 23 88/F bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
We have two cats: Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. The other four are community cats who think that this is their main home, especially Daisy the Feral Princess.
Love this stuff in an Altinok bulldog
G&H Scotch Flake in a Howell.
10 year old C&D Old Grove in a Baglan claw and egg meer again.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am off to the studio with a bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing! Neo is keeping me company while I smoke this Night Train. I couldn’t decide what to smoke for a while, but this is hitting the spot!
On the menu for my evening commute home was CS Angry Cornishman mixed with a sprinkle of ODF loaded in my trusty Pete.
Hope everyone made it home safe

I smoked FVF a couple days ago and accidentally left out a portion of a flake. It was pretty dry.
I got the bright idea to rub out a partial flake of Peterson Irish Flake and mix the two.
I'm smoking it in my Peterson bent billiard.
It's not terrible, but I won't mix the two again. lol

New Nording Signature smoked so good the first time, I've loaded it up again. This time with Kohlhase & Kopp Caribbean Blue/Bellamy.
