Wilke #622 in a Jelling Dublin.

 

[jaytex1969]

C&D Burley Flake #3 in a Todd Harris Panel Lovat Morta.

 

[JimInks]

About a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2011 MacBaren Norwood in a smooth 2002 medium bend eight sided panel top straight grain Rinaldo Collection Silver Line F Egea 05 Titania bulldog with a black acrylic stem.

 

[JimInks]

Listing this a little early: Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a smooth 1976 Canadian GBD Seventy Six 256 with a black vulcanite stem.

 

[rmpeeps]

Royal Yacht/3 Year Matured Virginia combo in a Blakemar Rhodesian. I’ve always had the habit of mixing blends; very few I like ‘as is’.

 

[newbroom]

Luxury Twist Flake in an LHS smooth Lovat with a flat bottom for sitting.

 

[jfred]

Dunhill Flake in a Ser Jacopo 2012 Sevilla rusticated.

 

[samw74]

I’m starting the day with Amphora Original Blend in a Larsen trumpet with an acrylic stem.

 

[cortezattic]

Dunhill Dark Flake in a no-name meer, with coffee and the morning paper.

 

[lordofthepiperings]

Amphora Virginia in a Marcus MM Cob

 

[bluegrassbrian]

Pease Cairo in a new Radice Silk Cut bent billiard.
Color me impressed by the value.

 

[slowroll]

Morning report, everything as usual, sun is out, beautiful day on the deck, and smoking HH ODF in my goblet stack.

 

[JimInks]

Almost half way through this bowl of 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. A bottle of Cheerwine made with pure cane sugar is my drink.

 

[cigrmaster]

2012 Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug in a Rad Davis Rhodesian.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a grilled roast beef and cheese sandwich, and am now smoking HU Old Fredder’s Broken Flake in a smooth straight early 1960s Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Mad Dog Russo is on MLB TV at the top of the hour.

 

[JimInks]

Smoking Wilke No.192 in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2001 Karl Erik Ekstravagant brandy with a leaf engraved silver band and a black acrylic stem. Watching Mad Dog Russo. Suzy and Molly are batting a catnip ball around the den.

 

[mso489]

Packed for later, Spilman Mixture in a Tsuge tasting pipe, a straight billiard light-blast, full-size pipe and bowl; this is a decidedly mild blend but subtle and complex, if you need a mild stop in your rotation; I tend more toward big burley blends, but like some variety along the way.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Wilke Commander in a 1975 three quarter bend black Dunhill Shell 52021 with a black vulcanite stem. Watching Wagon Train.

 

[cigrmaster]

2002 Solani 633 in a Rad Davis Dublin.

 

[JimInks]

Just finishing this bowl of 2011 Villiger Virginia No. 444 in a three quarter bend smooth 1985 Dunhill Chestnut 5202 billiard with a cumberland stem. Time for some fresh cherries.
