Keeping it "light" this morning with some Amphora Original. Such a simple, easygoing smoke.
Is this the only picture ever taken of a pipe sitting on a brush?
Quite possibly. Please refer to this way of standing your pipe the "AroEnglish Method" here forward.
I'd never done this before but was what was around and figured if it was good enough for car paint it’s probably good enough for a durable piece of wood.
John Cotton Burley in a Ferndown. Loving this blend! Can’t wait to try the Kentucky next. This is how I’m spending my long weekend 
Stokkebye 4th Generation Small Batch Aged Virginia (2019) in a Castello Sea Rock.
Smoking some jm boswell old schoolwhich is a burley and some northwoods.
Oldschool Witch. Now that’s a fun blend name. Well done!
Stratford in a Briarworks in front of Basilica Santa Maria Novella. Had a dinner of Sea Bass in a small piazza while it rained. Finished the bowl while drinking wine and ambiance with my daughter. I wish you all the same.
Love seeing all the places you two are going! Thanks for sharing the adventures
Last night, it was Esoterica Tilbury, thanks to SBC, in a Nording Zebra hunting pipe, a long-stemmed Dublin with carved zebra stripes my wife gave me some Christmases ago.
Had a weird experience going to a medical appointment yesterday, getting there early only to see the sign taken off the building above the door and the interior lobby darkened with workmen inside. One told me they'd moved, and he didn't know where.
Ordinarily I'd have poked around and talked to neighbors and done my usual hyperactive nosing about, but it was so odd, I went home and got on the phone, not having the number with me.
I finally emailed, and the doc emailed back, actually they'd moved shop right next door, just didn't have a sign outside yet. They were understanding, but what an odd experience. If someone moves, you don't expect to find them in the house next door. Such is life.

Sounds like a Twilight Zone experience. Thankfully only temporarily.
GLP Penny Farthing in my itty bitty Boswell shotty cherrywood.
The nice mail lady just brought me this Peterson System Standard 303. This is my first System pipe and first P-Lip so I'm curious. Going to go old school and run a few bowls of 5yr old Carter Hall through it to start out.
Not far from finishing this bowl of early 2000s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Fed my cats and the ferals. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
Granger in a Grabow. Dangerously dry in our neck of the woods with no real relief in sight; maybe a passing shower Saturday if we're lucky. The upshot is I've hadn't had to mow the grass in almost two weeks! Enjoy the afternoon everyone. I'm pretty close on reaching for a cold beer!
