Haddo's Delight in a Savinelli Dolomiti 311KS this afternoon. 
Almost half way through this bowl of year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
Just finished smoking a cigar: San Lotano Requiem Habano
First smoke of this 1969 P for this pipe smoker with some Sam's Flake.
Great looking Bulldesian brother!
HH Pure Virginia in a Miscoi Canadian
1792DKF in a Short Army.

Thanks, pal! Too late to edit, but it's a '59. Sloppy typing.
Ok, shit show’s over! I mean work. Pipe Force VI in a Manduela
Just finished smoking Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Dunhill Elizabethan in a Castello 1982 great line.
Hogshead in my Falcon gold & black with white bit and meer bowl. Cherry coke too.
Now smoking year 2015 Mac Baren Virginia #1 in a pre-1923 smooth dark brown early Comoy’s Prior (Gros, Grenier, Ostero & Cie.) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
First break-in 1/2 bowl of Lane 1-Q in my new Peterson sandblasted Pub pipe with 9mm filter, 22.20mmx51.50mm chamber. This Pub Pipe is much larger and heavier than my other pipes. If I were to go to a Pub (that allowed smoking!) with it, I would probably bring a small stand with me until I get used to the weight and girth.
I also noticed the draw was a bit tight. I pulled the stem and noticed the 9mm filter was 3/4th of the way out of the stem. I put it all the way in and about 1/4 protruded and that produced a full wide open draw. Too much. I adjusted it to 1/2 in the stem and found a draw similar to my other pipes. So that was a pleasant discovery -- that I can adjust the draw as needed. It was a dry smoke all the way to the end when it went out naturally.
The new Peterson bowl coating had no flavor and the ash is already starting to cling to the walls halfway down and to the bottom ... also a plus. This is a high quality pipe (for me) and I will enjoy it. It will take a few smokes to get used to its sheer size though. Lane 1-Q is always sweet and pleasant. Final note: the finish is sandblasted on the left side like a Savinelli rusticated, and Ring blast on the right side, front and bottom so its like a jekyll and hyde in a sense ... the best of both finishes.
