Visiting my home state of Colorado. Smoking Solani ABF in an Il Ceppo Dublin. Odell's 90 Shilling is my drink. It's good to be home, if only for a few days.
Love me some Wombles! Did Great Uncle Bulgaria smoke a pipe??I don't wear the Redcoat while litter picking.
Received a box of clay pipe fragments from @Birddog66; I can imagine litter picking a place where people still smoked clay pipes
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have a third of a bowl left of New Watch City Beta Test #1 in a smooth unfinished brown slight bend 2015 Savinelli 320KS author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to work soon.
Off to work with a bowl of year 2017 Esoterica Dorchester in a straight smooth brown 1920s KBB Rocky Briar 1582 patent no.298978 with a B in a circle bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to listen to The Lone Ranger.
Currently smoking C&D Exclusive in an Everyman Bulldog. This is my first time with this blend and i like it a lot so far. 50% Perique!
Gawith Cherry Twist in a Savinelli Siena 315 KS. I enjoy this as a chewing tobacco and figured it was high time to put it in a pipe. 
Closing in on the first third of this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Two bowls of SG&Co. Squadron Leader special edition with Perique in a Peterson bent Dublin and a Nording zebra hunting pipe carved with stripes and with an extra long stem.
Enjoying a bowl of Peterson Flake in the 313, drinking a New Belgium Trippel as I ponder the work week ahead.
Just finished smoking Low Country Pipe & Cigar Natural Virginia & Burley in a 2020 straight black sandblasted Merchant Service “Bing” Standard with a nickel band and tapered black vulcanite stem. Fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. The ferals ate earlier. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Now smoking Wilke Coronado Oriental in a straight black sandblasted undated, unbranded Made in France short shank billiard with a long black vulcanite tapered stem.
@PipeWI Not that I'm aware!
@PipeIT The Brighton is out of stock at Smokingpipes; I don't think Esoterica is still going. Looks a nice Virginia for my clay pipes though.2021 Esoterica Brighton in a Dr. Grabow: Commodore 65 Zulu, dated from 1967-1969, vulcanite stem, metal screw-in tenon, no stinger.
I was just thinking, there’s a Brighton in England.
Wonder if it’s named after this town... hmm

This one goes out to @halfdan if you haven’t smoked Brighton in your Clays, I strongly recommend getting some of this!
Be well @halfdan and quit sucking down cigarettes in one drag, LOL, you making me nervous for your health mate!
My grandfather on my father’s side once told me;
If you haven’t got your health, what do you have, or maybe it’s, what’s life without your health?I’m getting old, LOL I forget exactly the words, but that’s the point!

Half way through this bowl of year 2022 Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a straight smooth ebony post-WW2 LHS Sterncrest 91 bulldog with a sterling silver band, a diamond shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Listening to an unedited 1949 episode of You Bet Your Life.
A third of a bowl left of year 2016 Sutliff Revelation Match in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII Kingsway (Comoy’s) London Made 61 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Work's done for the day, and it's on to other things that I have to do before bed time.
I think all the Esoterica blends are named for English coastal towns, Brighton is just down the road from me as is Peacehaven, another Eso blend.2021 Esoterica Brighton in a Dr. Grabow: Commodore 65 Zulu, dated from 1967-1969, vulcanite stem, metal screw-in tenon, no stinger.

It’s still going Dan just sells out immediately so there’s little chance of getting it I’m afraid. Made by Germain’s for the US market only.
