That's a cool pipe!

Thanks Carol. Nice smoker as well. I have two of these. The other I bought from a fellow forum member.

 

[AppalachianPipe92]

Sampling more homemade blends that have been sitting for a while. Tonight, a VaOr from a Cristian Galeazzi billiard.

 

[JimInks]

Just under a third of a bowl left of year 2022 Stonehaven in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem.

My Brulor pipes finally showed up from Germany (Cigarworld) today. These Brulor are "found old stock" from 1940s that Bruno Nuttens bought up and brought to market. Been waiting for these to pick one for trying with Semois. Chose the "Brulor Standard Pot" which is a dainty little thing. First bowl with the pipe, first time with Semois. Wish me luck!

Wow, wind is picking up and Gusting around me. yikes.

 

[Laurent]

Escudo in my Vauen with an old fashion.

 

[Sidehatch]

Catching up on forum. Happily puffing away on Crinkle Flake 2020 in a Tsuge Dublin Horn. Awaiting dinner made by the Jetsons. (One of those Tovalo meals you stick in their special microwave).

Freezing my tail off to smoke some Mr. C's Bright Side in a little old Kaywoodie Thorn.

English Luxury in a Peterson XL02 Killarney

John Marr in a little unbranded calabash with Irish cream spiked coffee.

 

[Scottmi]

The semois was nice. Now onto the main course: Vanilla Flake in the dedicated brebbia Noce.

 

[renfield]

Some 6 year old G&H Sweet Coconut Twist. Pipe is an unfinished Sav 320. Again.

 

[trouttimes]

Nitecap in this Castello, a little Buffalo Trace., listening to smooth jazz.

 

[Briar Tuck]

Sutliff D40 Vanilla in an unbranded Italian made Canadian. I really like this pipe.

Careful there. Don't blow out to sea! Orcas Island is a beautiful place. Have ridden my bike all over that island, back in the 80s. Lovely place!

Smoking Brunello Flake from a Sergei Cherepanov apple. Enjoying with a light roast while sanding and filing a stem for a pipe in progress

Homemade "crumble plug" in an HS Studio squat tomato, still having spiked coffee on the side.

Edisto in an unmarked African Meer.

Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik.Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik.

I finally got the bug. My Englishes sit dormant; my Penzance, neglected.

I await delivery of diverse and various VAs and VaPers to diversify.

Until then: Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik. Orlik.

I regularly ask myself in internal dialogue, "have I devoted too many pipes to Englishes?" as I presently convert one over to VAs. (I am not pipe heavy, so to speak.)

Sounds to me like you need more pipes.
