Closing out an extremely long day with a cup of Irish Tea and a bowl of Peterson MM 965 in one of my grandfather's meershaum pipes.
I don't know exactly how old this pipe is or who carved it, but it is a wonderful pipe. (I had to have a new stem made for it a few years ago)

Is it just me or did the recent meerschaum threads inspire a lot more sea blocks to float up in this month's WAYS thread?
Either way, thought I'd add to it:
One of my favorite tobaccos in one of my favorite pipes - some Syrian Full Balkan in this Nate King meerschaum prince

Very nice looking pipe!
Wilke Lizzie Blood Red Virginia in a Don Warren Osage Orange Stack.
Last bowl for today , Cringle Flake 2020 into the same Meer .
Wow I knew he carved at least one meerschaum but didn’t know who owned it. I like the delicacy of the shank and stem compared to the typical over-engineered Turkish pipesIs it just me or did the recent meerschaum threads inspire a lot more sea blocks to float up in this month's WAYS thread?

Now on to a bowl of Largo Sungrown in a Wenhall pickaxe/teardrop.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2001 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1938 straight black grain relief Dunhill OX Shell bulldog with a silver band repair with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching The Flash.
Hadn't enjoyed a meershaum for a while and I really enjoyed my earlier smoke so I decided to have one more pipe for the night and read a bit...
Having a glass of Power's Irish Whiskey with a bowl of GLP Quiet Nights in an IMP Meershaum.

Sutliff Balkan Luxury Blend 957 from December 2014 in a La Savinelli Giubileo D’Oro Dublin
Presbyterian Mixture in Royalton, the dedicated pipe to all things Latakia.
Been enjoying Balkan Sobraine in Savinelli 606KS. Don’t know what the “old” stuff was like - but, the stuff I bought early last year tastes pretty darn good to me. I don’t have the comparison checkpoint - so, I’m glad it used to be better. Don’t ruin my smoke. ?
Had a tasty navel orange, and am smoking Granger in a straight smooth medium brown post-1940s Comoy’s Tradition 110B billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Watching an episode of The Untouchables.
Finished the Virginia No.1 and now puffing on Kendal No. 7. This shag burns hot especially in a clay. They should use this for the clay pipe smoking competition I'm thinking of entering, especially with it being in Cumbria!!!
Bill's Blend, purchased from Rich's Cigars in Portland, OR, in a Crown Freehand that my wife bought me as an engagement present many years ago (also at Rich's).
After work on Wednesday, I had time to kill before my weekly table tennis game. I took a walk over to Barclay Rex and picked up their Maiden Lane blend. The gal at the shop said the closest comparison was Balkan Sobranie (which I've never had). I picked up a Toscano Nobile cigar to try on her recommendation, along with a box pressed Nat Cicco Aniversario 1965 Liga No. 4. Maybe I'll light those up before UFC on Saturday. Anyway, I'm going to light up the Maiden Lane in my Oguz Simsek Skull in Fez pipe.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am getting near the half way mark on this bowl of C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
