Old Dark Fired in a Uhles stamped billiard.
Some 2015 Silver Flake (I was forced to smoke it, the jar broke when moving boxes around).
Smoking it in the newly acquired IMP. I’m on my 10th smoke and it’s really starting to develop a nice pink hue (not seen in the picture below)

Smoking some 4noggins Covered Bridges in a Medico Ventilator pipe. My first time smoking this blend. It's my usual smoking experience: The first quarter of the bowl is bitter; quarters 2 and 3 are the sweet spot; quarter #4 starts to give burning problems. I'm in the sweet spot right now - nice smoke!
Waking up with some Carter hall and coffee. The crows are noisy this morning, I wonder what the ruckus is ...
Now smoking some W. O. Larsen Signature blend in a MM Country Gentleman. I can't get over what a nice smoke this is!
Remind me.. who made that pipe?
MM. A small one.
Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn model ............... don't recall
Thanks. Altinay… I’ve been seeing that name a lot lately. Does he make his pipes with a nice open draft? That’s been my biggest set back with meers, I do like my IMP, though it’s still a bit more restricted than I personally like but it’s acceptable. I open up the draft holes on all my briars but I’m afraid to attempt that on a meerschaum. I blame Rick Newcombe. Haha.
Good day all! Started again with GLP Telegraph Hill, but this time in a .70" bore small Upshall Bulldog instead of the .75" bore Tillshead Semibent used yesterday. Made all the difference - the smaller bore revealed lovely Virginia notes that were muddled or missing with the larger bore. May try it in an MM Cob this afternoon.
Yes this is much more open than some of my other meers with the screw in tenon pieces.
Worth every penny. And this little pipe, was a lot of pennies for a cheapskate like me.
Going to have Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader in a Peterson 9BC Sterling Billiard that was made in England. The Sterling line formally debuted as a Rogers Imports line in the US in the early ’50s—this pipe might be from 1953–1958.
It's been a while since I've had Carter Hall, and the first bowl went down so nicely, I decided to have another!
That cat and flowers in the background... pure poetry!
2021 CRF with perique in a Peterson Dublin PSB.
