Some F&T Blackjack a little while ago. Exceptional shit, the $2 beer was fine.

Now smoking Wilke No.178 in a 1982 smooth slight bend straight grain Ben Wade Martinique freehand sitter with a wide top and a black vulcanite stem.
Reiner's long golden in a Sebastien Beo.
I got this new, from the horse's mouth, at the Chicago show.
Another one where the price was right and smokes like a dream.

Smoking some C&D Bayou Morning in a Ropp churchwarden.
After 2 bowls of C & D Sansepolcro in an Ali bent billiard meer, I can say this blend has definitely piqued my interest. It's good fresh out of the tin, but I'm going to put my other tins away and let them sit a while (at least 6 months). There's a small but persistent harshness to the mixture, that really seemed to become predominant halfway through each bowl, and I bet some age would settle that down. As far as plain old piping matters go, it burns very well in the bowl - I usually false light, tamp, and then second light, and that procedure was entirely sufficient for the tobacco to burn nicely down to the chamber bottom without any more intervention than an occasional light use of the tamper. I'm looking forward to another session with it this evening!
Now smoking Wilke Chocolate in a 1979 no name French briar smooth full bend egg with a black vulcanite stem. This may get me to dinner time.
Briar Fox in a Bones Outdoorsman Sitter. Just ordered a Peterson bent pot from the summer 2019 line, as it was on sale at smokingpipes.com and I couldn't help myself.
Pre-‘96 Tilbury with a dash of Germaine Uncle Toms Mixture in the ‘63 Group 1 Tanshell billiard.
TAK - Kieler Foerde in an Aboriginal African Meer.
Dude are those BluBlockers???!
Two army/military mounts + two from Danske Club - WHITE LUXURY and BLACK LUXURY:-
1) "COMOY'S STERLING" "Made in London England" on the shank / shape 25 Straight Billiard in a Walnut Finish / mount stamped HC (Henri Comoy founder of The House of Comoy), 900 w/ marks for London 1979.
2) "BARLING LONDON ENGLAND 5297 T.V.F." on the shank / Dublin shape w/ rubbed crossed Barling logo on the stem / E.B W.B (Edwin and William Barling) STERLING SILVER and stamps for London 1976 on the mount.
The army or military mount is accepted as an appropriate term even though they were used on pipes in the 1880s and thus well before The Boer War and some twenty years before WWI and I'd prefer to term them sport mounts due to their practicality when out riding, hunting or shooting as opposed to the impracticality of the bone screw tenon for those pursuits. Analogous to the pocket watch with the open face for regular use and the half or full Hunter when out and about in the field.
An example by B.C (one of the 19th Century's long lost pipe makers or early nomenclature for Butz-Choquin?) stamped for London 1899:-

D&R Two Timer in a Rossi Vittoria pot. Lots of little pesky flying bugs about, but they don't like burley.
