Ah yes, the small meer Billiard. I’ve just spotted one a few weeks ago, almost the same pipe with a dirty case, the seller told me of an antique pipe. It was a little bit overpriced in my opinion.
But one of those would be ideal for me, I prefer small bowls. My only Meer is smoked once in a half year because of the big bowl.
The May thread got locked up quickly this time, so my last smoke of May was some OGS in Bones Panelled Billiard with my friend here. Big feller for Michigan.
2020 “SRV” blend (WCC Simply Red, PS311 Perique, C&D Black Cavendish) in a smaller James Upshall ’P’ Dublin.
2019 Watch City Slices in an Altinay. Another day of fighting the good fight. By the way, if any of you are sick of seeing this pipe you can kiss my ass.
You know, I’ve suddenly grown very fond of that pipe (because the alternative is not very appealing).
Good morning. GLP Six Pence in a Pete on the way to work, stayed lit with no relights for the 35 min trip. Been enjoying this blend and Paradoxical lately. 
I'm burning 2 flakes of Capstan blue, opened yesterday, tinned in 2017 in my 'O' grade Savinelli Autograph, Freehand, with beautiful straight grain. A gift from forum member, Chris Besse, Alberta CA some 8 or more years ago!
Having some C&D Bayou Morning (ribbon) in a Jason Patrick rusticated lovat with Cumberland stem. This pipe is light as a feather, stays lit well and is bringing out the deeper flavors in this blend. Happy smokes all! 
Best Brown #2 and coffee by the pool on a gorgeous morning. 
ODF in my Peterson Hansom while Rimington naps. 
Last night: Hogshead in a Castello great line.
This morning: Union Square in a Castello 1982 cherrywood.
7 1/2 years aged Dunhill Royal Yacht!
I really disliked this tobacco when I first bought it. Back then, I called it by another name: the Royal Yuk. So into the cellar it went, never to be touched, until now. With several years of aging, I now love it. It has matured into an exquisite balance between sweet and robust. Goes very nice with coffee. I will likely have to buy more tins from Peterson. Will I like it, or will I put it away again for 7 years?

Finishing up the 3/4 bowl I had left of VCF that was in my 308 from yesterday. Loving how to pipe smokes but still don't love the next day bowl. It seems like the ash settles a bit and you get more of it in your mouth, kind of like when smoking the dregs of a bowl.
The dregs of Irish Flake and Dorchester to finish off the tins. Not bad!
