The next pipe of the duo is a Ferndown sandblasted bent Bulldog

BCF with a bit of SG CF rubbed out on top of it. Cleaning up remnants of the day on my prep board. Smoking it in a Peterson Dracula 80s.
It is quite good for a budget stick. It can stand on its own against some of the pricier sticks, although some others have experienced inconsistency in quality (Though not my experience smoking through 4-5 of them).
The draw is loose, which incidentally I like. I tend to get typical maduro sweetness/ fermented taste). However it is much lighter in Nicotine compared to most other Maduros.
Sutliff Match Victorian from January 2020 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Enjoyed a small, but tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2018 D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Sam the Scamp is scamping at full speed from one end of the house to the other. She's in heat, and since there's no male cats around, she has plenty of energy to burn off. That's the most she's going to do until we can get her fixed.
Ah yes --- at night, after dark, I like to sit outside on my little patio right outside the LR in my townhouse. I can flip on the patio light, just a simple light bulb above where I'm sitting in my (plastic) Adirondack chair & enjoy a pipe, always with a beverage of choice. If there's no wind & the air is still, I love to see the "puffed out" smoke slowly curl upwards, twisting & dancing almost seductively as it moves skyward. I think it's really cool.

Smoking now some Captain Black Regular (white). Totally dry. How did I manage to get C.B. tobacco dry, I cannot figure out. In the pipe of the year 2023, exlusively made for members of the Greek Pipe Club by Tolis Vasileiou.
A nice Sunday to all of you good people!

A couple of minutes away from smoking Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Very, very kewl pipe!
MB Vanilla Roll Cake in an Altinay.
Had a nice walk earlier. Davidoff Medallion in a cob
My wife and I had a great day with my daughter and her family, snuck in a bowl of Dark Birdseye in the Pete Short Army 102 while son in law was smoking brats. Had a blast with my grandson and their new puppy.
Got home earlier this evening and grabbed some JackKnife Plug and a pinch of Navigator and tossed it in a small dish to mix up…that had water from wet sanding a stem last night in it
!
Mixed another up and enjoyed it in a Nording Nordcoat while tending to the horses.
G’night everybody!

Half way through the morning bowl of Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Jirsa. I also need to finish the Directors Cut from yesterday. 
The Saturday afternoon ZOOM meeting with my buddies was lively and fun. I smoked my K&P Peterson rusticated 381 billiard with an army mount fishtail stem, filled with Drama Reserve. Peach/Mango Green Tea with a fistful of bergs and a splash of Honey Jack was my beverage.
This pipe is very like the one
Sherlock Holmes is smoking
in Frank Wiles' famous illustration
for The Valley of Fear.
