Great pic, I’ve heard somewhere that Sutliff SPS22 was very similar, but have yet to try the Optimum.
2016 GL Pease Sextant in a 60’s Shell.
Even though I don’t own one yet, I love the look of the Porto Cervo.Although I'm well north of the fires, the wind has been a pain for the last week or so, finally subsiding yesterday. Had my first smoke since last weekend, Mac Baren Navy Flake in a Savinelli Porto Cervo 122 rusticated pot. Wifey even joined me, which was admirable considering my lopsided Scrabble victory over her this afternoon (we have surprisingly cutthroat matches!). 8/10

One more before calling it a night. Vauen VA Flake No14 in the Boswell.
HU night owl in an Old Antiquari kkkk Castello because of the nighttime.
After dinner, got a fire going in the shop stove, poured a wee dram of anCnoc 18yr and filled a bowl of burley in a Baki meer. Ready for some quality relaxation time...
Now smoking Brebbia Balkan in a Northern Briars. This is my favorite full Latakia blend. Can’t wait til my tins age 5+ years. I’m stocked up due to the recent Mac Baren situation. I feel no need to find an older Syrian version.
Haunted Bookshop for the drive home earlier today. Enjoying some Midnight Moxie in a Pete.
@Roach1 do you notice a big difference between HB cake and regular HB?

MacB Stockton ‘24 in a Peterson Newgrange. Glad I picked up two tins of this stuff.

2019 St Bernard Flake in my Yeti paneled egg. Not yet sick of this pipe.
Beautiful pipe. Hard to believe it's 100 years old.
CRF w/P with a bit of Exclusive added to make a full bowl in a Peterson Derry 69.
The next pipe is a 1911 cased Albert and Co stubby straight Bulldog with a tapered block amber stem, orific bit
