Granger in a Silk Cut Handmade Radice bulldog. 
SG Bracken Flake (I can’t believe SG stopped making this it’s their best blend by a long shot imho) in a AOC Globe which I usually reserve for this blend with the odd exception. 
That is a super combo. It is hard to find nicely grained Ferndowns. I have pipe envy!Wessex Burley Slices in this James Upshall with a Les Wood gold plated silver band.
I should be walking the dog but have to wait for a vacuum cleaner to be deliveredView attachment 235075
Thank you for the complement, that JU has become my go to for WBS actually, they’re a great match. This site should come with a warning about pipe envy, I guess it comes with the territory.That is a super combo. It is hard to find nicely grained Ferndowns. I have pipe envy!
Heading home, 3 hours done, 2 to go! Peterson SH CP Iora Professor and Wilke Cherry Cavendish. 
That’s a cool shape, I’ve seen other things called tadpoles but this actually looks like one!
I have a single Ferndown and the band is similar to this one, I had 6 others but was forced to trade them in for pipes I wanted more. What I’ve found is Ferndowns are hit or miss in terms of smoking quality. The lumberman I have smokes great. How do Upshalls smoke? I’ve yet to try them.
I have four Tilshead’s and three JU’s two of which have Les Wood bands and they’re great smokers all, especially Va’s and VaPers. I have one Ferndown Tudor Root with a gold band that I was lucky to find and found out that it was actually made specifically as gift by Les Wood for a friend of his, not for me unfortunately but it’s nice to know I have something special. Here’s a pic
Mississippi River Bourbon Barrel aged in a Yeti. It’s days like today that I’m glad I put in such a large deck.
gorgeous! I love his bulldogs. I still like the Upshall grain better though.
Kramer's Blend for Cary Grant in a MM cob.
Sun Bear Mountain Flower in Eltang Basic. Pictured with Yesterday's unicorn find, Blanton's Gold Label. The BGL tasting notes feature both tobacco and honey. Will have to remember to pair these two when I open the Blantons.
Luxury Bullseye Flake, in a MM cob. First morning of family trip at the beach. I was told you can’t call it vacation with this many people and chaos!
Enjoying my Sunday morning with Hank and some Sutliff Crumble Kake No.3.
Haunted Bookshop in a Ser Jacopo Maxima Rhodesian.
Experimental home blend, The Doctor’s Blend or TDB in a Dr. Grabow Starfire. This is really an American blend given the use of some aromatics in the blend. Overall, the black cavendish presents a mild base on which the subtle notes of Latakia and Perique can present themselves without coming across as too dominating or swallowed up by strong Virginia Tobaccos.
