Just finished work, and this bowl of Wilke Coronado Oriental in a straight black sandblasted undated, unbranded Made in France short shank billiard with a long black vulcanite tapered stem.

Passing the first third of this bowl of Wilke No. 515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was the original 515 that Basil Rathbone smoked. It just started raining and I went out to make sure Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave got a good meal before they go hide under the deck. They won't come out when it rains unless they are really hungry. The other ferals don't travel in rain.
Peterson 965 in a Talamona reverse calabash.
Half way through this bowl of Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. This'll end my smoking day.
Granger in a Grabow rhodesian, hoping I don't get rained out at work today. Looks a little iffy
Enjoying some 20 yr old Dunhill Light Flake in a MM General. I found this tin when we moved recently and I repacked my cellar. This is a nostalgic tobacco for me as it was the first straight VA flake I ever tried.

Going to polish off the last few bowls left in this tin of Acadian Perique, using a couple cobs. Finally giving the Pete a rest after smoking it multiple bowls a day for its first 10 days of service.

Would somebody please educate me on what "reverse calabash" means? This cool pipe looks like a "pot" shape. What am I not getting?

Smoking my Peterson “Custom Deluxe” Nov 2016 Craftsman with some Granger. 
Here's a definition I found on the Danish Pipe Shop site:
"Reverse Calabash pipes means that you have an extra chamber in the shank that provides you a cool and dry smoke. Due to the chamber in the shank the Reverse Calabash pipes are chubby, stubby and charming designs!"
