Capstan Blue Navy Flake in a Rubio Author.
Continuing with my little tradition of burley, cob, coffee for my second bowl of this fine morning. This Perfection Plug is growing on me. It does like some room to breathe.
If you wash it, it can still be used for frying eggs
Some MB Vanilla in a Wilke Canadian this morning. Mug of dark roast. Looking forward to Rubens on dark rye today. Happy St. Patrick’s day to all!
Windy day but the 9s is handling it like a champ
Sir John’s Flake Virginia in an Altinay. 
Some sutliff Victorian (Elizabethan match) in a foundation by musico sandblasted Canadian with silver band. This pipe is super light and smoking like a champ! Happy smokes all! 
A third of the way through this bowl of year 2016 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
I was up in the wee hours of St Paddy’s day cleaning up this Lee Lovat that I received from @Briar Lee yesterday.
Starting it’s life under my care with a bowl of BLWB/Windsor 805M, the closest I have to a codger blend to befit the pipe’s heritage.

Peterson Flake in a Squire.
I bought this pipe on fleabay awhile back. In all honesty it’s not a very skillful blast, in fact parts of it are down right ugly. There’s a big soft section on its left chin, the top ring has a wonky section in comparison to clean cuts otherwise. I nearly returned it, annoyingly putting it back in its box after my excitement quickly turned. The next morning I looked it over again, still annoyed by its ‘flaws’ yet even more so about the effort to send it back. Yeah I can be lazy! So I said screw it!! and packed a bowl. Once lit I started to give it a less picky going over, noticing the good parts. The lovely webbing on its right side mixed in with some decent straight grain. How the over blasted chin section sits perfectly in hand.
It’s (one of) the gimp in the herd and its won me over.
HU JU-52 in a Missouri Meerchaum cob. 
Morning go with Peretti Burley Blend 1072 in the Bones Poker with coffee. First time trying Sumptown 'Clove and Bittersweet Chocolate' French Roast Blend. Don't taste clove or chocolate per se, but round and full and sweet. Very nice!
1995 McClelland XMas Cheer in my new Ferndown! Happy Friday! 
Close to finishing this bowl of C&D The Beast 2023 (Small Batch) in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem. Going to edit my review and post it at TR soon.
Did you buy that Musico from SmokingPipes around 6 months ago? I ask because I had that exact pipe in and out of my cart, what seemed like hundreds of times... lol. I could never quite pull the trigger. Looks amazing!
