WCC American Cut Plug in a Peterson Donegal Rocky 69. Dark roast on the side.
Carter Hall in a Savinelli Roma Lucite 673
Some ODF in a Castello after errands
Just finished smoking year 2019 C&D Derringer in a late 1890s, early 1900s straight smooth brown unbranded billiard with an A&D silver cap and ferrule with a tapered amber stem and orific bit. Still couldn't sleep, and have been chatting with a good friend.
HU Makhuwa in a Merchant Service Big Billiard. Diet Coke on the side.
Waltham Broken Cake in a cob. Wife wanted a lazy rainy day brunch, so just finished up gorging and abiding in a brunch cocktail Kir Royale (Chambord version). The sweet drink is pairing nicely with the burley. Happy Saturday and stay safe everyone!
SWRA in a unstamped LHS(?) bullcap 
My own Burley mixture in a Stanwell, espresso and enjoying the sunshine 
Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
Chelsea Morning in the Northern Briars Jade Rox Cut Dublin.
We might as well just all admit women are better at making things look good than us hairy legged boys.
This morning I’m kicking myself for fifty years of trying to make a pipe look good, when all I had to do was buy some cotton balls and 100% acetone at Dollar General, and imitate my wife doing her fingernails.
Look at this formerly brown turd of a Marxman 400 attempt, I’m smoking with Danish SWR.
You want 100% Acetone at Dollar General.
It eats up tars and oils and grime and stem oxidation, right now!
Apply Obsidian Oil if you have it, mineral oil if you’re a tightwad, or olive oil or grapeseed oil or coconut oil, and polish with a cloth, they all work.
Be careful with acetone.
But you know that, you know?

@ukbob It was a good smoke in the King's Clay at the Battle of Nantwich last January.
Erinmore Flake in a Clay.
(3 different clays actually).
After having my clays lit from the blacksmith's forge one of the site staff / volunteers asked me not to smoke on site, a shame as Jason lit my clay from his forge. Man it went down well!
He'll still be able to light my clay at the Viking event as it's in the bottom field.
Drank some Bass & Landlord out of my pewter tankard at the Boat Inn, Cromford.

Black & Gold in my L'Antara Gigante.
I know a lot of Sealed Knot members like their beer & pipeweed
I'm sorry but I can't say what Model. There is no Model number stamped. On Pipes and Cigars it is listed as a 004 if that helps.
Escudo in a Tsuge while playing Dragonwood with my daughter on the front porch.
MB Virginia Flake in an Irish Seconds System 302.
