Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Live Wire in a smooth almost full bend 1981 Briar Workshop round brandy signed by Elliott Nachwalter with a pearl gold acrylic stem. Just finished cleaning a few pipes.

Gawith hoggarth American C V in Ben wade 63
Now smoking- SmokingPipes 20th Anniversary XX Flake Dark in a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Baker Street
HH Latakia Flake in a Dunhill Red Bark Zulu pipe.
Smoking 5 Brothers and 3 Sails 50/50 in a Falcon standard straight with a hunter billiard bowl.
A mix of Mac Baren Va#1 and black cab in a MM cob and a cold Stella.
Now smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Thunderstorms have moved in, so I won't get all my walking in today. The feral cats are in hiding under my deck, too.
Smoking a Virginia house blend, which is probably made by Kohlhase & Kopp in a Castello KKKK Shape 74.
The pipe is the one on the top.

Plum Pudding in a GBD Sablee Poker. Man, this baccy has such a creamy mouthfeel. Delicious! Roku gin martini with a touch of Rose liquor which turned out to be sweeter than I would wish in a martini. 
Great album. I think I actually have it on LP.
Carter Hall in a Shire Cobbit cob -- bought a pouch after years since I last had it on a whim, and forgot how much I liked the stuff. I ordered some Chatham Manor shortly after, to compare later. Drink: A White Claw Hard Seltzer "Pure" (as in unflavored) handed down by my wife who bought and hated it. It's basically seltzer water with alcohol, so now all I need is the squirting flower and the giant, horn-honking red shoes. I'm happy to have picked up this Carter Hall on a whim -- it kind of centers me, makes me realize there's still perfectly fine smoke available down the road, and got me on a codger match blend kinda kick. Now waiting on: Match Sugar Barrel, Match Prince Albert, Match Field and Stream, and H&H Chatham Manor (which I consider Match Carter Hall). Battle of the mild codgers will commence. If the matches on Carter Hall and PA are not better, that's all good -- means I can get it at the drugstore. I suspect they will be a little better though. The Sugar Barrel and Field & Stream, as I understand it are no longer available, but the matches seem to be well-received, so they are in the "Codger Battle Royale" I seem to have set up for myself 
End state: dip cob in, press with thumb, light up, and tell the kids to get off my damn lawn (it has more effect with a pipe, I think).

That sound was me falling over bc you were smoking a meerschaum. Oh, wait, you kind of are...?
That one with the long shank though ?
That’s a cool shape. I love panels. Do you smoke with or without a filter? I have always passed on 9mm pipes bc I don’t smoke w a filter but have no problem smoking a Savinelli 6mm without one. I don’t know what my problem is, lol.
Three of my favorites - Peterson, Presbyterian and Fathead!
I love Castellos but I don’t know why they insist on using the diamond for American versions. Great looking pipe! Enjoy!
Are those the little ones? Sounds like a great day!
Thanks! A GGG size Lovat. It is still waiting for the right occasion to get broken in. It'll be soon, though.
Now smoking G&H Dark Flake unscented in a Castello 55.
Glenlivet is the drink.
That MM looks modified -- which one is it?
