Enjoying a bowl in a very good flake pipe. 5 yr old SG St. James Flake in a Peterson’s Aran Sooth 268 Fishtail with a cup of Wawa Cuban dark roast 
️...great combination!

First smoke after restoration of this Wimbledon medium Dublin Borkum Riff coupon pipe made by Dr. Grabow circa late 70’s to mid 90’s is my best guess. Thought C&D’s Engine 99 would be a fun ride today.
I'm smoking some Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug out of a beater pipe, a little Rossi Vittoria bent brandy. I was afraid the topping would be a bit strong after sniffing the tin, but it's playing really nicely with the Virginias. Perhaps virginia based tobaccos stand out under toppings better than burleys?
While running errands, I smoked a couple of bowls of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1980s smooth slight bend Wally Frank Dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Having lunch now as I listen to Lum and Abner.
XX Dark Flake in a Eltang sailor, drinking black coffee.
Robert McConnell Black Parrot in a slightly bent rusticated Pascucci
2011 Dunhill Flake in a Rad Davis Brandy,
Trying out newest restoration, Ben Wade Hand Model Smooth Bent Dublin made by Charatan circa 1973-1978. Has some neat lines to it with a pinch at the bottom. Went with Charles Fairmorn’s Lancer's Slices.
Almost finished smoking this bowl of year 2013 H&H Classic Burley Kake in a 2013 medium bend Spillproof corndog cob with a triangular briar shank and a black vulcanite saddle stem.
A couple of minutes or so away from smoking HU Nyala in a 1970s black sandblasted slight bent Savinelli Autograph 05 Horn with a black vulcanite stem. Haven't smoked this pipe or blend lately.
Smoking some Solani Aged Burley Flake in a KKK Castello Sea Rock.
Cigar time- 601 Blue Label Maduro
HH Navy Flake in a MM Cob.
1998 Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky in a Scott Thile Bulldog.
At the Stag. Having some 2015 McClelland 5100 in a nice little morta I picked up. ?
A mix of Grousemoor and Black XX in a Dunhill 4103 County (the upper one).
