Good Sunday morning all. Up way too early because Liverpool host Arsenal in FA Cup footie. Smoking Hal o' The Wynd in the new Rossi 8804.

Picked up where I left off last night. Another bowl of Luxury Bullseye Flake in a Peterson Dracula bent bulldog.
Straight 5Bros trying to smoke the stank out of a El Morjane (El Cheapo) Algeria briar. Not sure if it’s the stain, or handling of briar…
A salt/alcohol soak seems to have helped.

Surprisingly well matured FVF from 2018. Looks all the way there. Tastes about 2/3 there. In the Regina S 5crown.
Today is the last day of a 2 week vacation from work. I didn't go on a trip but I did a lot of odd jobs around the house. The weather was good and so was the time away. I enjoyed keeping up with the forum, especially this thread. It was a lot of fun.
I am about to load up a Peterson 317 system standard with some 2018 Solani ABF

That’s like a group 1/2 ?
Easily the smallest pipe I own. I still get a good smoke out of it if I am careful with the packingThat’s like a group 1/2 ?
G&H BestBrown No.2 in the Barling Straight Grain 3639, from James J Fox in London.
I like small pipes as well.
I’m contemplating dinner and thinking something simple like sausage and mash with grilled onions maybe.
Anyhoo while I’m thinking about it I’m having a bowl of Germain’s 1820 Cross Cut in a 1911 M&T Ltd cutty with amber stem. This pipe and the blend are exclusive to each other, going steady if you will.
I’m having a drop off Jura Rum Cask to stave off the chill, a good single malt like this is perfect with the 1820, they compliment each other beautifully.

Kristiansen Bulldog with the remains of the day, Elizabethan Mixture. Palm Sprinqs is if anything, a place of grand leisure.
Have you tried the McClelland I sent you yet?
"Less is more" as some say and I have a 303 and a 314 which are not much different in size that I really like.
Thanks. I’m going to order a pair. One reviewer said he used 2-sided tape to mount one to the wallet valet in the car dash, which would really be helpful.
@Birddog66 Saving it for a special occasion!
HU Soraya in the Mitakidis (Pipe-Dan "Marcellus" inspired) bent and blasted Arbutus (strawberry) wood. Yorgos really has a way with blasting this wood..
Also, his stems/buttons remind me of some 50s/early 60s Dunhills. No complaint there.
