Now you've gotten an idea of my pipe sizes. My IMP reverse calabash, bottom of photo, is on the smallest size of my favored pipes.
Second smoke in this one is Captain Black Grape.
I love all of those too ! Gorgeous pipes Embers!
This is my first IMP and so far I really like it.
Hasnt heated up and tamed down some bite in some
blends for me. I’ll be getting another soon.
I really like my reverse calabash from them as well. You cam actually commission with IMP through Meerschaum Market.
Thanks for the advice on that. I may place a call to do that.I really like my reverse calabash from them as well. You cam actually commission with IMP through Meerschaum Market.
I love that Billiard, it’s just a classy pipe !
More Capt Earl’s Private Stock, this time in my late 40’s Made in Ireland, non-P-lip Pete with a nickel band. Looks like Algerian briar to me.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm almost a third of the way through this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Give Me Liberty in a straight smooth medium brown pre-1920 straight Marechal Ruchon & Cie. Royale apple with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Haddo's Delight in a Peterson Irish Harp Lovat. 
I had my eyes on the same pipe on Ebay from tobaccopipes.com for a while but never pulled the trigger! Is that the same pipe?
The 644 is my favorite Savinelli/Rossi shape. Alas, it seems to have gone by the wayside. Enjoy that most excellent pipe!
A bowl of C&D Eight State Burley in a Stefano rhodesian helped to ease the pain of a 372-333 Scrabble defeat courtesy of wifey. Those triple word scores just kill me. Got my revenge shortly thereafter via gin rummy, however. Delightful smoke, glad I got it in before the snow began. 8.7/10

KBV Van Gogh 2023 in a Savinelli Linea Piu 3. Have had a great day in Taos with my family. Looking at some properties and enjoying some beers.
2022 Carolina Red Flake. Sav 141.
So last time I had this, about 7 months ago, that evening I got violently ill…clearly was not the tobacco, but damn Ive had ptsd about diving back into this ever since. We’re good again, lol.

Allergies/head cold have a put a damper on things a bit, but I’m stubborn.

Smoking The Doctor's Own Blend in a Kristiansen Bulldog. Every once in a while, I have a hankering for something that is more comfort food than Michelin.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have passed the half way mark of this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Been busy taking feral photos.
Old Joe Krantz in a Rossi Billiard. Celebrated the sixth birthday of our youngest of five children today! God is good.
