@FurCoat I enjoyed the Ennerdale Flake in my clay pipes.
Fending off the biting midges with some Presbyterian Reformation in my Altinay meer claw.
Passing the quarter mark on this bowl of KBV Voodoo Tour in a smooth medium brown medium bend 1950s B.B.B. Own Make 307 apple with a sterling silver band and black vulcanite saddle stem. Writing beta notes, and enjoying a visit by Basil Meadows. I've already loaded him up with tobacco. 
Peterson Old Dublin in an Ardor Venere bent Rhodesian.
Some Nording (McClelland) Hunter Retriever in the little Stanwell Hunter that I restored! Not a fancy pipe, but I love the etching. A retriever observes! 
5 year old Country Squire Kingsfoil in a GBD Rhodesian.
A photo of me with the Redcoats & Revolutionaries blacksmith at Cromford Mill last year! Dad calls him 'the pipelighter'
I was smoking C&D Yorktown in the clay churchwarden - an appropriate baccy choice! Unfortunately, I broke the churchwarden later that day...

I'd have given up the pipe altogether if it wasn't for the loose / tinned baccy a local tobacconist in Chesterfield (and one in Buxton) sells
What if you buy the baccy in tins and pouches, and then recycle them?

@PipeIT Good heads up; I use an empty pipe baccy tin and I'm thinking of using one for my firelighting kit when I get into bushcraft. It would be good to have learned to light my pipe with flint & steel by the Nottingham pipe smokers' meet-up in October!What if you buy the baccy in tins and pouches, and then recycling them?
Decided to drive to Lexington (N.C.) Barbecue for lunch, and drove back feeling fat and happy. Watched the Cubs - Cards London game in my boxer shorts and had a nice long nap afterwards. Now it’s time for a bowl and a drink. Capstan blue in a no name meer, and a pour of rye.
Cheers!
I love the tater sticker on the back of this bottle, too.

Almost at the end of my first tin of Sutliff States of Virginia. Rare for me to buzz through a tin this fast. Good stuff.
Get Grousemoor and Sakura, if either of you haven’t tried these.

Almost half way through this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Down Yonder in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LBS Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This will get me to dinner time.
C&D's Nutty Irishman in a Peterson Deluxe System 2s Natural.
Second bowl in this new pipe.
Uhle’s Blend 00 in a Radice Clear Dublin, with Baldo Baldi briar aged over 20 years.
I thought originally to smoke only VAs to break it in. Many say, smoke whatever you like to break in, maybe not Aros and Lakelands though... LoL
But Burley is suppose to burn cooler, so maybe it’s a good way to go about this on an uncoated chamber too.
Regardless which blend, I barely light a pipe while breaking it in, and just a few small sips and out it goes to cool down.
I’ll be extremely slow breaking this in, especially having nice aged briar like this.
Be well everyone!
Tabaccheria Corti took some really nice pics of the pipe. The lighting shows the grains a bit differently, and when I saw this pic, I was like wow.
