Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a 1970s three quarter bend half smooth, half rusticated Savinelli Autograph 4 with a pearl grey brown lucite stem and ferrule.
RDF in a full bent Northern Briars Premier Rox Cut bulliard. I'm finding that after 2 years of madcap experimentation, my tastebuds are settling down again into a fairly tight rotation. We'll see.

PS Bullseye Flake (it's been a while for this one) in the first pipe I bought, a Tinder Box St. Ives bent pot sitter with a vertical saddle stem, probably a French pipe, maybe Chacom.
Just finished smoking 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.
Mcc St. Janes Woods in an RVW free hand bent Dublin. This is an amazing pipe. I'm told it is a Wiley second although I can't see any reason for that. I bought this pipe roughly 30 years ago and it smoked so poorly at first the I almost threw it away.
I found it so attractive I couldn't bring my self to toss it. Keep in mind I am pretty sure it was 35.00.
Anyway, after maybe 20 bowls in 10 years one day it just came ALIVE. For the past 20 years it is my go to VaPer pipe and it absolutely sings with StJames woods.
Now smoking Heine's Blend in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.49) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega with a black vulcanite stem. This will get me to dinner time.
