Love both the pipe and bagpipers dream
I'm with ya.
May I also humbly suggest you put a few 2oz cans back for about 5 years? If you have not already done so, that is
I promise it's worth it.
2019 Burley Flake #3

Bowls 99 and 100 in the Tekin were 2019 Opening Night. I’m probably done with the tedium of counting bowls in this pipe but I’ll continue smoking this pipe almost exclusively and will post a thread about it.
Black point in a Baglan meer.
WCC Santa's Sack! in a new-to-me Prince Amled 189 tall yachtsman.
Fun fact: Prince Amleth was the direct inspiration for Shakespeare's Prince Hamlet. I believe that explains the name of this handmade Danish specimen. Who made it, is apparently a mystery though. My guess would be Kriswill, if not Stanwell.
Great clencher at <20g with a chamber that swallows two thirds of my ring finger.
The Santa's Sack! reminds me of a Lakeland a bit. Might be the "Indian syrup that has a light rose quality". I like it a lot.

Great pipe! Love that black on black. Glad it's working well!
Gorgeous set!!Breaking in my new Ryan Alden 1/4 bent Rhodesian with well dried Anthology 2023. This is one of a two pipe set I just received from Ryan. It got the blind draw on which to smoke first. The other one is an oval shank apple. Don’t hate me because they’re beautifulView attachment 278403

@Tate Do you think I'd be good at colouring a meer? You should try the Luxury Navy Flake in your clay - and bonfire another clay of 5 Brothers
A little KBV Mycroft in a little Pete.
Little and large, just finishing some 2013 Murray’s Yachtsman in the little Drinkless and am having St Nick in the big James Upshall with gold plated silver band. 
Woke up to find the smoking room still attached to the house - phew!

Red, Bright and Booze in a late 60’s/early 70’s no name Dane of my dad’s.
Running late, looks like I’ll only be at work 20min before start time…

Loaded up my morning smokes after I fed the cat herd. 
CRFP 23 in a J Alan and a Manduela. Though very different, both are pipes I’ll keep for life.

Having a little heavier afternoon blend. Some HU White Horses in a Ser Jac. Im going through and tasting all my HU blends again to decide where to stock up. @JimInks Thanks for the review work you did on these. Im definitely sold on this brand along with a few HH blends. The American blends are rare here and what you can find is way over the top in price.
White Horses is definitely going on my next order. I only have the one tin.
