Having a bowl of Lane’s BCA in the Bones Big Volcano for the evening puff. Enjoy your pipes and your evening folks!View attachment 86809View attachment 86810

@Latakia Dave I think I stuffed tobacco into my clay pipe too tightly as I had to suck too hard on the pipe and I've had 'pipe tongue'; I've found out this can be avoided by not stuffing the pipe too full leaving room for the baccy to breathe.
I'll remember that for when I take part in or visit living history re-enactment.
I like to smoke my clay pipe in the dark so I can see the glow of the fire ?; the Sealed Knot enquiry officer says I'll probably need a 50g pouch of tobacco to keep my fire ? going all weekend - and it would be great to light my clay pipe from the fire ?!
When I went to the Georgian Weekend at Cromford Mill, the blacksmith kindly lit my clay pipe from his forge; another living history demonstration that added to my day out!

Good evening, all. I’m finally getting outside after a very busy day. Packed a MM Country Gentleman with Samuel Gawith Best Brown and I’m going to enjoy the breezes pushing a front through, bringing much needed rain.

Going for my evening lunt around the neighborhood with a Savinelli Canadian and some Black House.

Early 20th century A.D.P economy range ...
("A.D.P is a trademark of Adolph Posener & Co. standing for Adolph David Posener. Brothers Adolph and David Posener were associates until 1877. When David left the partnership, the trademark remained A.D.P. but the hallmark on silver work was A.P. imprint.")
It's also written that the pipes were marketed under the label A.D. Pierson suggesting an anglicisation of Posener in the way of for example Rabinovich sometimes turning into Robinson or Robbins

2013 FVF in a Peterson System Silver Mount 3s. This is the first briar pipe I ever purchased. Had just started dabbling with a friends pipe and a purchased Missouri Meerschaum. On trip touring England, Wales and Ireland with my wife we made a stop while in Dublin. Great memories with this pipe.

Found this devil eating a skull meer by Sadik Yanik waiting for me in my mailbox when I got home so I'm breaking it in with some Dunhill Dark Flake and a glass of Park Borderies Mizunara Cask Cognac:

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chcken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Expresso #9, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-Mets game as I give the Conrad apple a deep cleaning.

Was outside today with some 2018 Plum Pudding Special Reserve - great stuff.

Chatham Manor, what some think of as an improved Carter Hall, a mild tobacco forward aromatic, in a Bob Hayes bamboo shank straight rusticated Dublin with smooth stained brim, a lovely piece sold to me by the carver himself the last hour of the TAPS pipe show about five years ago, at a dream price. I wondered if I was hallucinating.

Thanks. I had really coveted that pipe, and to my surprise, I ended up with as a gift from @ashdigger . It's beautiful and a great smoker.

I read things like this and I realize that I am privileged to be part of a pretty good community. ??
