Now smoking year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
This morning, Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
Earlier this evening, MB HH Pure Virginia in an Altinay.
Presently enjoying 2018 Union Square in a Howell.
Well things escalated quickly...
I sold off a few pipes, and then came across this beauty on Smoking Pipes estate page, and snatched it up. It's a Ser Jacopo La Fuma Smooth Bent Apple. Breaking it back in with some Mac Baren HH Highland Blend.

I recently received a roughly two pound log of Ecuadorian Mapacho (Nicotiana Rustica), which can have up to nine times the amount of nicotine than common tobacco, so I’ll proceed with a relatively small amount to start; when I smoked three consecutive bowls of Sutliff Pipe Force V (which contains Rustica) during a Zoom call with a friend awhile back, I felt the nic hit big time at the end of three hours. I’m going to have the Ecuadorian Mapacho in a Peruvian ceremonial pipe typically used for smoking Mapacho or Ayahuasca, made from Chonta (Bactris Gasipaes—also known as Peach Palm, a hard Amazonian wood often used to make weapons), decorated with cross sections of Ayahuasca vines.

I’m curious to hear what you think of this stuff, as I know you also got a log of Mapacho.

Looks great on you man! Hope you enjoy many pleasant smokes in the new pipe.
Hanging with cowboy while my wife knits and I puff away on 2019 opening night in my tekin pipe.
Thanks! I wasn't expecting to buy a new pipe, so soon but when I saw it, I couldn't let it sit there for someone else to purchase. I had to buy it, and so far so good. Once I get some cake built back up in this pipe, it's going to be an excellent smoking pipe.
Did a little low calorie snacking, and am smoking Wilke No. 24 in a smooth straight brown 1949 KBB Yello-Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Listening to Gunsmoke starring William Conrad from my radio collection.
Rhythm & Blues in an Irwin billiard, tea and a book. 
WCC Rouxgaroux (Fall '23) in Peterson red spigot 80s.
Morning smoke of Torben Danske Orient Special Mischung in a BBB Classic 675 Groupe 4 size long billiard
Half way through this bowl of year 2007 Astley’s No. 109 in a straight smooth brown circa 1950s-60s BBB Contrast 506 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Passing the half way mark of this bowl of Wilke Edwin’s Burley in a post-WW2 straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 3 Shamrock bulldog with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. This blend is Wall Street with much less perique (10%) than the regular W.S. (which was my idea that John Brandt blended). This version was my idea, too, as I wanted a lighter BurPer for this pipe. Finished work for the day.
A third of the way through this bowl of Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a year 2021 straight black sandblasted Peterson Ragaire 150 bulldog with a unmounted army mount tapered acrylic cumberland fish tail stem. I'll end the day with this smoke.
@renfield A good baccy choice for a clay; it's rumoured to date back to the English Civil War in the 1640s! I'll have to get some for when I go to see the Sealed Knot again; I'm taking my pewter tankard, longest clay pipe and some SG 1792 Flake when I go to the Battle of Nantwich next weekend:

The Battle of Nantwich is a reenactment of a battle during the English Civil War in 1644 between th Parliamentarians and Royalists.

Celebrating the break from the deep freeze with Bob's Chocolate Flake in a Peterson meer.
I'm smoking my original MM Legend, purchased about 10 yrs ago. I've replaced the stem a few times and sometimes use one of my vulcanite stems from other pipes. Burning Match VIP this a.m. Using an MM gummy stem.
