Here's a shot of an old invention ??in the background that I kind of got sucked into
I call it simply the "Fan Rack"

Not far from finishing this bowl of the very dry year 2010 Villager Virginia No.444 in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem.

Now smoking Wilke No.111 in a smooth medium bend 1950s Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Going to do the rest of my walking now that other chores are done. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Part way through this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a 1980s White Pipe straight lattice apple meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem.

Trying a bit of plum pudding aged bourbon barrel in a tiny cob. I am liking any derivation of plum pudding. Still fighting too many relights though even after drying a bunch.

Gave the dogs a bath on this beautiful June day, did some light, recreational plumbing repairs, and celebrated the absence of leaks with a CAO Brazillia, not sure of the vitola but it's corona-esque. I'm not really a fan of CAO, but the Brazillia has always impressed me. Great smoke, and cheap; I should buy a box. Now I'm drying out some McClelland Blackwoods Flake trying to decide what to smoke it in. First world problems!

 

[MrTom]

Rattray's Hal O'the Wynd in a Rattray's Nimbus Calabash pipe.

Salty Dogs in a Wally Frank Old Salt.

Part way through this bowl of Sutliff Prince Andrew in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Second bowl of Wilke No. 111 in a MM unplastered Diplomat apple. I'm enjoying these Wilke blends...by the way, @jiminks , is "Wilke" pronounced with the final 'e' sounded ("wilk-ee"), or is it "Wilk" (rhymes with 'silk')?

The No. 111 blend packs and burns like a champ - after a false light and a second one with tamp, I haven't needed to do anything to keep it going, except a light tamp occasionally. Good stuff!

If breakfast-for-dinner is a thing, why can't this be?

'15 Dunhill Nightcap in a personalized Morgan Bones "Zulu Dog"

As this blend ages, the "strength" is starting to fade, both in terms of the nic hit but also the flavors - neither is necessarily a bad thing. The lakatia is smoother and much fainter now - than even a year ago (the difference seems much more dramatic when compared with the fresh Peterson tins).

Did you put a finish on this pipe, or have you been smoking plenty of "stank"? (that's what my grandfather used to call any strong-smelling, oily pipe tobacco).
