Morning everyone, starting off the day with Bankside in a nice bent Tilshead and my usual Lavazza coffee and watching the Woman’s World Cup

Half way through this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2018 full bend smooth Terracotta Peterson XL315 System Standard military mount with a nickel cap and a flared black vulcanite p-lip stem. I'll end the day with this smoke.
50/50 mixture of Bayou Morning and Three Friars in a Savinelli 401.
@Birddog66 Have you ever tried it? Currently smoking Erinmore Flake & SG Black Forest in my clay pipes.
Pfeifen Huber - Virginia Golden Flake in a Radice and a Cup of Joe.
Reading Mind Parasites by Colin Wilson while the bowl lasts.

Been up and at work since 4 AM this morning dealing with a couple of client cluster f*cks caused by them not reading the instruction on the packet so to speak. I cannot believe that this thread has run to almost 200+ pages in one month and will revert to zero tomorrow. Well, if anyone cares I am smoking a bowl of Bobs Choc Flake in one of my late 19th century BBB meerschaum 'cutty' pipes as I contemplate breakfast. I think this morning feels like a beans on toast day with a couple of vegan sausages thrown into the mix to ensure a good report. I'll see you lot later when I check in at coffee time.
Good Ole St Bruno RR in a Stanwell Royal prince discontinued model of 61 medium billiard.
Good morning. Before lunch. I start with a bowl of lpg, Spark Plug, in a MM Diplomat. One of my favorite blends, just a few tins I keep in my austere tobacco cellar. My treasures are Byzantium, Spark Plug and Pirate Kake. I wish you a happy start of the week.
Old Fredders Broken Flake in a Altinok Lee Van Cleef meerschaum.
I’ve got several of their blends but not Brighton. If you want something similar you need to find a B&M tobacconist that has Germain’s in stock (it sells out immediately online so it’s hardly worth trying unless you have a good relationship with a particular retailer) and go for one of their Va’s, or their Plum Cake would be up your street I think. G’s make Eso and the Gold Flake is similar to a Esoterica Va.
Just got in from walking the dog in the rain, it’s been pissing down here for a week. Having another coffee and GH Burley and Bright in a 1901 Charles Maas with oval shank and orific bit which is a replacement by Geoff at Cambridge Pipe repair, he did a fantastic job as the previous owner had used epoxy to secure the band and generally buggered it right up. a
HH Bold Kentucky with just a pinch of HH Rustica this time, in a Bruce Weaver which is a very reliable pipe so far.
Squadron Leader in my Savinelli Oscar estate… nice little Lakeland ghost from years back…
It was glorious out on the patio last night. Moon and fireflies were out and the temperature dropped off to manageable. Watched starlink pass over and smoked two bowls of C&D Star of the East in a Tekin meer.
This morning Balkan Saseni in an Ashton Pebble Grain Dublin with Community Coffee.

a little bit of Capstan Yellow in a lithe KK Castello Searock
The beagles brought me to the lake to see ducks. I have Kentucky Burley WholeLeaf in a Terracotta PubPipe. I just sold one identical. I should get more.
Hello my good pipe-friends.
A lot of work the last weeks - but now a little time to relax
Enjoying a good pipe and a cold beer!
One of my favourite pipes; an Altinay Meerschaum rusticated billard silver spigot.
I usually smoke VA and VApers, but I love the smell and taste of Burleys. I have smoked Mac Baren Golden Blend (Golden Extra) but I got a weird mouthfeel after every bowl - a "dry" feeling
Now I have blended it with Orlik Golden Sliced - 50/50 - and what a beautiful smoke. I get the sweetness from the virginias and the goodness from the Burleys in the same bowl.
It will absolutely be a mix I will keep in in my tobacco rotation.
Anyone had similar experience with Burleys?

Frog Morton Cellar in a Kaywoodie Red Root Rhodesian. A TWSBI GO stub with KWZ Warsaw Dreaming, for those who watch the pen, too.
Yep - burley dries out my mouth and makes me throat scratchy. Also can have a bitter taste to me.Hello my good pipe-friends.

Never understood the beans on toast - sounds like a vegan nightmare. But I'm just a kooky yank, what do I know?
Old Fredders might just be my favorite VaPer all time.
It's Monday morning motherlovers!
McConnell Mature in the Mitakidis stack. Having a cortado to get me moving.
