Sunday evening I love it! Loading up a 50/50 mix of PS Navy and Grand Prix that's been drying on the tray for about 4-5 hours. The pipe is going to be the second example of the Ed's 21 shape I have. Red Diamond and Big Trouble in Little China.

Thank you. It's a Cogswell & Harrison 12 bore / gauge
Bought in 1974 as a total wreck from the owners of Hoghton Tower near my school in Lancashire for £30 when the estate was owned by friends of my mother. A few years later I had the gun cosmetically restored by Cogswells when they had a store in Piccadilly, W. London.
Spent a week on the road traveling from old house to new house and back. Smoked 4 cigars over 5 days.
Now, having first pipe in a week, Pegasus in a BriarWorks Poker.

HH Vintage Syrian in a smooth WDC Milano poker.
Enjoyed a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with orange slices and a few grapes for dessert. I've about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2007 Astley’s No. 109 in a smooth brown straight circa 1950s-60s BBB Contrast 506 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Going to work after I check on the ferals.
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. Listening to Walter Isaacson's book on Leonardo da Vinci as I work.
A day of Telegraph Hill, HH Burley Flake, and now a goodnight smoke of Old Dark Fired.
Just mixed the last little bit of Capstan Blue RR in with some Luxury Twist flake that has about a 1.5 years of age on it. Enjoying it in my Rusticated Peterson 301.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of D&R Penhooker in a 1990 straight dark brown Commemorative reproduction of the 1890 Peterson Patent System 12393 stack billiard with a silver band and a bowed black acrylic 32 AB long stem p-lip.
Haven't broken out the Sun Bear in a bit, so it went into a little Peterson's pot, along with a West Coast IPA from Untitled Art.
So far I have only smoked a Balkan or a Mild Aromatic blend in it with proper drying time and it lasts 20-25 minutes.Maybe you can squeeze more if it's packed with a flake.
Smoke in the eyes when clenching not an issue and construction is solid.

A smoke of Argy twist mixed with Virginia/Burley/ Condor in a Falcon while cooking a chunk of Argentine beef.
@halfdan wants to know if he can stick his clays in that fire, get rid of his captain black cherry ghost ?
Not far from finishing this bowl of D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a black tapered vulcanite stem.
Morning smoke of Mc Barens Navy Flake folded in a Castello Searock kkk Liverpool
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 222 in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Because of all the mask wearing the last couple of years, I haven't waxed mine—prior to that, I've sported a handlebar since about 1991. I imagine I'll get back to it sometime this year if some semblance of normalcy returns.
Good morning. We start with the second tobacco of the morning with. mb: Navy Flake, in a Calabash Stanwell, and a mug irish coffee...................
Kind of an overcast day after a week of glorious spring like weather, afternoons of 10+ degrees.
