Balkan Sobranie in a Ben Wade Skater
Just passing the quarter mark on this bowl of Peter Stokkebye No. 17 English Luxury in a straight post-1981 GBD Prehistoric 133 billiard with brass accents, the letter K stamped on the shank with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Have enough left for a couple bowls or so. Fed two ferals, and am going to work as I listen to the Dodgers-Padres game on the XM.
Since it’s such a nice evening and it’s cooled off outside, I decided to have the Maiden Smoke of this newly acquired (eBay) Dublin Meer with some 1928ish Velvet Baccy. Thanks @ashdigger !
A wee dram of Teeling Irish as well.

About a third of a bowl left of Wilke Hearth of Galway in an undated smooth straight medium brown made in France Saillard Lord Clerit lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
LOL. I have some for sure. I keep them at my condo in Laughlin. Honestly, they are a little heavier built than a Grabow or Kaywoodie from that era and they smoke consistently well. I think of them as a well built pickup truck. As some may be aware, I collect American made factory pipes as one of my central focuses. I was able to purchase the Lee pipes for a great bargain. Sadly, that ship has now flown. Good condition Lees fron the first two generations are more difficult to find and harder to find cheap. Although I don’t post them here, my Marxman collection of pipes is just as robust. My goal is to acquaint Marxman 400. Crystal Palace is a 4 star blend with a wonderful history to boot.
Just finished smoking D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite p-lip stem.
Now smoking Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Queen Anne’s Revenge in a 1901 Samuel McLardy meerschaum with a vulcanite stem.
Have a great weekend everyone, be well!
Some Queen Anne’s Revenge history! ?

A pint of Guinness, ahh I mean a shot of espresso and a bowl of Mac Baren Navy Flake
Touching on the Lee pipes, would you think that the attention they get on this forum of late, has driven up the price? Does this forum have that much effect on things?
I suspect the increased curiosity/interest has had an effect. Prices fetched have gone up in the six or seven months since I joined the forum.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am a third of the way through this bowl of Chris Morgan Jackalope in a straight burgundy sandblasted year 2019 straight Ryan Alden J billiard/pot with a tapered cumberland stem. Finished work for the day, and working on a review of this blend as I listen to James Stewart as The Six Shooter on the XM. I'll probably end the day with this smoke.
Yeah I agree.
And I had to do a double take on your joining the forums, six months?!
I feel like you have been here years lol.
I mean that in the nicest way possible. ?
BCF in a Country Gentleman Cob and a Cup of Joe on the side.
Treating myself to some of Solani’s Aged Burley Flake in a ENA Brezo, meerschaum lined pipe I managed to get back into a working condition this week; it’s a sweet little pipe. 
FVF in a Morta Cannonball, the last bowl from this 12 year old tin.
