Low Country Edisto in a Savinelli Zulu.
Hebi Smooth nose warmer pipe with Three Sails tobacco
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am passing the quarter mark on this bowl from a freshly opened tin of Sutliff Phantom Privateer Crumble Cake No. 6 Barrel Aged Series Limited Edition in a smooth straight 1930s unbranded Austrian 1930s zulu meer with a replacement tapered orange/brown acrylic stem. Working on a review of this blend which goes on sale July 4. First time smoking this new-to-me meer that was previously owned by my friend, the late David Ward, a.k.a. Weezell. RIP old friend.
Balkan Supreme in a Tom Eltang cherrywood.
Finishing off the FVF from last night. Perhaps it’s the dampness, but this particular tobacco takes particularly well to relights and multiple day journeys. The flavor has shifted more into the savory/umami sphere, but still retains some sweetness and lemon tea quality.
Is three sails just the tobacco for you? The price has me wondering about it! In terms of taste, what would you compare it with?
Love your pipes by the way!
GLP Samarra in a Peter Heeschen "A" cherrywood.
Union Square in a Castello great line.
I’m presently in negotiations with a bowl of Warrior Plug, donated by a very kind forum member.
The negotiations so far are are going like this: ‘would you care for a match?’
‘Oh, yes please, very kind.’
‘Would you care to stay lit?’
‘Oh, no thank you…but I’ll take another match.’
Repeat the conversation.

Solani Silver Flake in a Castello epoca.
I was slow sipping some Lane 1-Q in my Barontini 1/2 spigot bent billiard and pondering an article I had just read and a point with which I disagreed, when I noticed a large spider running towards my face ... I flicked my pipe away and didn't see anything. Then I saw the tiny spider running across the driveway. It had come down from a tree and landed on my pipe shank and was running up the stem to my mouth when I flicked it away. They look really large up close !! I was enjoying the smoke so I wasn't entirely bothered. I find Lane 1-Q attracts bees and butterflys and now apparently spiders.
DNR in a Castello great line fiammata.
Afternoon bowl of Sutliff Cringle Flake 2022 in a Tilshead smooth Cutty with eighth-bent tapered stem. This blend is settling down nicely.
@AroEnglish Not quite my pipe style but I like to look at different pipe styles - as long as it's my favourite pipe material
Picked 5 bags of rubbish off the streets of Chesterfield today; got given GBP10 and a few cigarettes to smoke with my beer!
Got given a few Parliament cigarettes:

Cavaliers wouldn't smoke them but Roundheads would

I thought it was fitting to smoke some Sutliff's Taste of Summer in my Aldo Velani Rhodesian to celebrate the summer solstice.
Downed a cigarette in 45 seconds; the cigs always go down faster when I've been drinking
Should I attempt to smoke a cigarette / cigar in one big drag at the Nottingham pipe show????
