Sutliff Voodoo Queen in a Peterson Deluxe System 11FB.
Half way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jupiter Slices in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson made in Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. This bulldog model was smoked by Nigel Bruce in two Sherlock Holmes movies. If you're interested in owning a copy of this model, please consider asking Smoking Pipes to put it back in production.
Have a slightly irritated throat today, so no smoking. But am enjoying reading the thread and seeing all your fine pipes. Those of you getting all the rough weather, please be warm and safe. The best to you all.

I have an interesting Carey (of Magic Inch fame) pipe with a switch on the stem. Flipping the switch slides open/closed the air holes that are common on Carey Magic Inch pipes. It's actually a really nice pipe. Today I'm smoking a new home blend that I was experimenting with for about a year, it's called Point No Point. It's a light English using the "vinegar-ized" red Virginia's and some bright Virginia's that I topped with sugar and left in a jar for about 8 months. Plus Macedonian Prilep and latakia. All pressed together for 2 weeks. It's really good.
Hope you feel better soon Carol. I'll smoke a bowl for you, lol.
Good evening All
A bowl of Samuel Gawith’s Squadron Leader in a Savinelli 703 KS. I wish all tins could exhibit their art instead of the usual “health” warnings.
Happy smokes

Enjoying some Tilbury in a Pipe by Lee three star lovat
2020 Carolina Red Flake with Perique in a Rossi 8701. 
Enjoyed a very tasty cinnamon raisin French toast lunch with a few orange slices, and have about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a medium bend smooth dark brown 1968 Barling 5631 London England TVF billiard silver spigot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. A cup of hot tea has made way for ice water and bergs.
Sutliff’s Heavy English in a Peterson’s System Standard Smooth 317. (What a romantic name for a pipe, but there you have it.)
Kramer's Father Dempsey in an old Astley's 72w billiard.
2012 Astleys no 44 Dark Flake in a Bruce Weaver Volcano.
We got 8” total where I’m at. Glad it stopped with that. It is indeed heavy and wet . Tough to snow blow when it’s like this, but I got my 2 driveways and a neighbors 1 done. I’ve heard of a lot of folks without power on the east side of the Blueridge, but it hasn’t been a problem around me here in the Valley.
Just got in from snow blowing the driveway. What should have taken an hour turned into three from having to clear the blades every other pass. I heard of some outages around Charlottesville and lots of trees down on route 20. With a low of 11 tonight there should be more problems tomorrow on the roads.
Aged Burley Flake is the first bowl in my brand new, pre-owned Big Ben (made in Holland) Puur bent apple. It looks like it had a single half-bowl smoked out of it, and that has left it with a delicious chocolate hazlenut smell. I can already tell it's gonna be a great pipe.
I was unfortunately intrigued by @cosmicfolklore saying that perique and semois mixed together actually tastes like shit. I’ve mixed up a bowl of triple play and brumeuse in a cob. He needs to change what he feeds his horses as this has a strong, but pleasant crab apple note. When I get the courage I’ll try again with straight st James perique.
I don’t remember saying anything about perique and semoise blended. I have said that I love “perique’d semoise,” which is semoise that has undergone the perique fermentation process.
