Sitting on the backyard swing and watching my daughter and the dog play whilst having some C&D 2020 Sun Bear in the meer.
Regarding visible moisture traps: accustomed to the 'Cavalier' pipe where the trap can be made of anything from vulcanite to brass to horn to cherry-wood ...
... and familiar with at least some of the many metal pipes such as the Falcon/Alco etc. where the moisture collects and is trapped in a reservoir under the bowl . . . there are of course pipes with hidden traps of which style the most famous and long-lived is surely the Peterson System pipe where the moisture is collected in a chamber under the draft channel
Slightly more unusual is a moisture trap on a 'Dublin' shape in the place of what should be a spur and yet the idea seems a good and practical one and maybe that's why the pipe is stamped The Perfect:-

I tell ya, it's been a little warm and humid in my neck of the woods today, so I broke out my small cobs and enjoyed several bowls of Carter Hall and didn't even break a sweat between smokes, Bring on the dog days of summer, I'm ready!
Levant Mixture in a Winslow Crown 200 with a side of Aberlour 12. Finished up the bottle and no need to buy another. Had high hopes for it, but just meh.
Finally getting around to testing this Scottish mixture I blended two days ago. Blended from whole leaf, it has a base of lemon, bright and red Virginias from a 2018-9 crop, two Oriental tobaccos; red Virginia Cavendish and dark air cured Cavendish; Périque and just a bit of Latakia--enough to tie the mixture together without overpowering the other ingredients.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, lemon glazed tuna and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm smoking Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a brown sandblasted medium bend 1970s Savinelli Autograph 5 freehand with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in quite a long time, but I wanted a big, wide bowl as I work on a review of this blend. Watching the Braves-Cards game.
An evening bowl of Esoterica Brighton in a Savinelli Silver 101 Billiard with Sterling Silver Band with tapered stem. A great smoke for a great night!
Ascanian No. 2 in my Eltang dublin.
Esoterica Tilbury in a Sasieni Four Dot Hurlingham S
Ken Byron Ventures Live Wire in a Mike Couch Devil Anse
Day off but it was a long day of honey-do’s at our new house. Needed a no fuss smoke, so smoking this here bowl of Cap’n Black Original (White) in a MM Mark Twain cob with a swirly caramel and chocolate colored Forever Stem.
Enjoying some Wilke Blood Red English in a mermaid meer by Yanik. The chamber on this thing is so cavernous that I started with a glass of Dos Maderas 5+5 rum and I have now moved on to a glass of Kirkland XO Cognac while smoking the same bowl!
