OJK in a Jirsa 210.
Interesting looking pipe.....
I know that Spanu was known for using a lot of different woods in his pipes and even growing his own briar. He used Olivewood, Lemonwood, certain oaks, etc.
Which is this made of? It looks like maybe the lemonwood.
It is made of lemonwood from his property and is marked “Limone” on the bottom of the stummel. This is the first time I’ve smoked a lemonwood pipe and I’ve got to say it performed very well.
The pipe is kinda fugly but I like it and the price wasn’t bad.
Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Fed my cats, and three ferals are eating. Haven't seen Abner the Eager yet. I have neglected to mention that I've seen Shy Stripesy for the last three nights after midnight. I suspected for three or four days before that, that it was coming here because the dry food outside was getting eaten too fast. That cat's still afraid of me, and after more than four years, I realize that will never change.
Chestnut in this Savinelli Eleganza 606 KS. Iced tea.
HU Edward G in a Merchant Service Big Billiard and Diet Coke on the side.
Oak Park mixture from Jon's Pipe Shop in Champaign, Illinois in a Dunhill Bruyere apple with saddle bit. According to tobaccoreviews.com this aromatic blend includes black cavendish, Burley, cavendish, and Maryland tobaccos. It's sweet and delightful, and I believe that it was named for the birthplace of the late author Ernest Hemingway.
Amphora Virginia and Burley 50/50 mix in a House of GBD Masterpipe. 
I would be interested in how it "turns" and darkens as it is smoked and handled with time.
Thanks for sharing.

Evening smoke of B&H Special Virginia in a Peterson Irih Harp model. 15
The only way this morning’s smoke could be better would be if it weren’t so hot on the patio.
A sample of Esoterica Stonehaven (thanks @FurCoat!) smoking itself in a Roush pot.

Late morning coffee, with Red Virginia in the Bones Poker.
Did a set of walking reps in the heat and high humidity, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. An off diet lunch is being made now. 
Low Country Edisto in a Savinelli Zulu
Irish Cask in a Trypis with iced coffee on the side.
German tobacco in a 92 Dunhill. A small little town’s park and beer garden.Families and their friends singing, laughing, and having a good time.
I’m thinking of grabbing the best made but still cheap one off Amazon to be the base to a trench digger I’m still working through in my mind.
I don’t have enough implants to make a QH feasible otherwise.
Beating the heat with 507c Virginia Slices in a MM cob and a cold Guinness on the deck.
