Ingenious pipe stand!
Match Victorian in a new Ropp Mid Century Skater
Almost a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke Back Bay w/o perique in a straight smooth brown circa 1950s-60s BBB Contrast 506 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Here is a better look at it. Made from a standard 6 inch pipe cleaner. I got the idea from this site years ago although I did add the bends for the feet.
Marketing my friend. "Fur Coat pipe stands" $12.99/dozen MADE IN U.S.A.
2021 HH Burley Flake in a Ropp Vintage with horn stem
First smoke for July and in the last week. Been working on a fence project that kept me busy.
Enjoying a personal coder mixture, Big R, with a glass of ice water.

Bowl #5 today, 507C VA Slices. The funky flavor is diminishing…
I think break in will continue with straight VA’s, they’re easier for my palate to be able to tell what’s going on.

Predinner smoke, Chenet’s cake in an S Bang.Hope everyone is doing ok today!
Nice pipe, do you use the stinger?
Close to finishing this bowl of year 2014 Astley’s No. 55 in a 1915-1920 straight smooth dark brown BBB Own Make 150 apple with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
A bit of ODF this evening. BTW, 1878 8TF
I took a couple necessary days off after trying to match Dr. Amish's rate and irrigating my palate, or plallate as autocorrect wishes to spell it, as a result. This evening I took a baby-step with relatively mild 1999 Navy Flake in a poorly maintained Savanelli Punto Oro that somehow acquired a longish, slightly bent vulcanite Dunhill stem, also poorly maintained. Heineken Silver compounded my poor choices so far, and at the moment an ember amongst the white ash has lit a pipe cleaner to smouldering. Damn you, JimInks, you set a high bar.
Almost half way through this bowl of Watch City Original Crumb Cut in the third pipe I bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight dark brown French briar Hadley NEBPC apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
That is a beautiful Ropp too! I think I’m going to start a “Show Us Your Ropp” thread sometime this week, unless someone wants to beat me to it. There have been some beautiful pipes posted in here in the past few months. Need to get em all together for the Ropp fans

Castello Sea Rock with Hyde Park in the Santa Rosa Mountains overlooking Palm Springs and parts of the Salton Sea. This is the same area that the opening scenes of the car chase in Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World takes place. 
Great suggestion!
