Haha! It gets put through the paces! I really enjoy it. I need to pick up a couple more of them.

Thanks I got the pipe from smoking pipes about a year and a half ago but it wasn’t from a limited set.
A quiet and uneventful Saturday. I thought I would put these two ancient meerschaum 'cutty' pocket pipes through their paces with a chunk of Cannon Plug. One has its original amber stem and the other is a well smoked example acquired in the South of Ireland many moons ago. It probably had an amber stem that was replaced with a Vulcanite stem sometime in the 1940s since the stem is threaded. The silver band was added by Briarville about seven years ago to cure a hairline crack in the shank.
Thank you the Punto Oro is a beautiful pipe. I hope you enjoy your 673 I really love the shape!
Now smoking year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a post 2007 Castello straight brown Sea Rock KK US made in Cantu (Kimo) apple with a tapered black acrylic stem. Haven't smoked this pipe lately. Getting ready to watch the Braves-Mets game.
MB HH Pure Virginia in a Peterson Dracula 80s. About the end of this tin. For me Union Square gets the nod for a straight Virginia but this stuff is really good.
Thanks. It came that way. Probably had an amber stem of some sort originally. It fits in the case and I like Bakelite, so no complaints.
OJK in an 1897-98 Irish Silver pipe. The stamp is an antique font and mostly worn away so I can’t read it.
Now smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink on this exceptionally humid day.
C&D Bayou Morning Flake in a Talbert Ligne Bretagne I call “Moonscape.”
It
You took the phrase “wider bowls are best for complex blends” to a whole new level!! Haha.
Is it a chimney? Cause it looks more like a Poker to me

Washing cars. Smoking Newminster 403.
So this just happened. The tenon in my horn stemmed Ropp disconnected from the stem. Still works, but im going to pack it up for now. Already have new stem plans for it anyways, so I'm not that upset.
So having some burley flake 4 in my J07

Well, it's 2:23 Pacific Time and I just had my afternoon smoke. At the inspiration of our own FurCoat, I remembered that I do have one corncob, that I bought for display. So I just smoked it. I will be buying others 
. Won't take long to break in this fella! Might need to build up a residue on the acrylic stem, which I tasted throughout, but my own simple English fared well in the baptism. Thanks, FC!
Gonna take a break for a day or two. Too much breaking in of pipes and my tongue and lips are taking a bit of a beating. Back to Pirate Kake for an evening smoke if I have one, and a cigar or two. Smoking a pipe and this kind of thing have a distinct similarity with developing callouses on your fingertips as a violinist, or guitarist. Takes time.

Passing the first third of 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. Running low on this bag, but I have a great replacement for it when I finish it.
