Now smoking Wilke No. 222 in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Working and listening to Fred Allen.
Time for another coffee and pipe. Scottish Cake in a Charatan’s Make.
My evening smokes were 507-C Slices and Briar Fox. Goodnight smoke was PS Proper English in a Savinelli 506. I may have finally found this pipe's sweet spot, crumble cakes.
Another “mix”, this time some Grasmere Flake along with some Spirit of Scotland in the Dracula.
Today I’ll try my first hot water flush of the Drac when I’m finished to see what all the hype’s about!

Now smoking D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Working and listening to one of the great radio westerns, The Six Shooter, starring Jimmy Stewart.
Not far from finishing this bowl of D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite p-lip stem. I should be able to end the day with this smoke. Fed Suzy and Molly, and two ferals who tolerate the cold to be near us.
Got a new pipe from Chris Besse in Red Deer Alberta Canada. It is a beaut! Smokes like a dream!
I've got a diy mix going in comprised of D&R Cockstrong, Sutliff red va ribbon, Sutliff stoved VA, Sutliff mixing Perique, and a small amount just to empty the jar, of some Lane's Vanilla Cav.
I must say that this pipe is an instant favorite for several reasons. Obviously, it's a gift from a fellow piper, so, there's that. The pipe itself though, is wonderful! Size, shape, finish, stem, ease of use, everything is right there where you want it. I haven't had but one bowl that required any relight, and that was my own 'fault' becuase I don't smoke flakes all that often and failed to tamp near the bottom.
Check it out!

Woke much too early, and eventually loaded some Amphora Virginia in my Saseini. Smoked about half of it, broke for breakfast - homemade hashbrowns with HP Sauce, some Canadian bacon (back bacon), frozen mango, and a homemade corn muffin with apple butter - and am now finishing that DGT'ed bowl.
Corn cob pipe and a button nose in a MM cob
A lunchtime bowl of the mighty Condor in a Morgan Bones Medium Cano. Sheer bliss from a problematic morning “inside”
Happy smokes

Smoking through some MacBaren Vanilla Flake in a small bowled cutty-esque SMS meerschaum. Black espresso on the side.
A bowl of Samuel Gawith St.James Flake in a Rattray's Chubby Jackey with some Coffee on the side.
You take great photos - I always enjoy seeing your posts.
Thanks
Apparently your a pretty good guy… regardless of what people say (kidding).
I hope your daughter has a quick and full recovery
I wasn’t aware that Americans use HP sauce?
It was the go to back home in Canada but I haven’t come across it here in KC.
Second time smoking the Altinay today. This go around I’m enjoying Marlin Flake by the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
A simple cob of Two Timer with some coffee on a gray morning.
