Super cool meer. Is it a Muhsin? It reminds me of his work.View attachment 375767
A little Burley Flake #3 in this tiny meer and a spin of the new Darkthrone record.
Thanks! I don't know who made it! The case has no label on it, and the store didn't say either. It smokes like a little champ though: my other meers are pretty big bowled, and so I hope this one will be good for nights when I want to smoke a few smaller bowls.
Half way through this bowl of year 2018 D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Fed Daisy the Feral Princess. Harry the Hairy ate earlier, and has been snoozin' for a hour or so. The other fellas are out and about. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is in the bed room.
That's almost as chaotic as my smoking area lol! At least yours are in order. I do try, but . . . .Smoking a little bedtime Bayou Morning against the backdrop of my cluttered bookshelf of Tobacciana. This is proof I need another bookshelf
And another bookshelf won't cut it. Been there and done that!
Yeah it sounds like a great pipe. My pipes are almost all exclusively in the 1.2-1.5 inch chamber depth range. I love smaller pipes. You can always pack another one if need be. I usually don’t even pack full bowls on the pipes that are closer to 1.5-1.6 in depth.
Been crazy busy for three days, with no let up for at least two more. Currently analyzing my pistol targets and would like to chronograph velocities with my guns for field target knockdown power with the selected fodder. Will probably post that in a day or two. In the mean time, here are two brand new toys of another nature . . . .
I mentioned a couple of days ago that I gave Stu my cob, and here's the replacement. And Sobrbiker has been torturing me with visual images of a little Pete he has in some of his terrific slice of life posts, and decided I was going to buy one like it as a birthday present to myself in April. So when I picked up the cob and a few packs of cigars for Lenten festivities at Sheffield's, I noticed a small Pete on their display walls, and foolishly asked to see it. Not exactly like his, but fairly close . . . an apple bowl (I think?), sandblasted, petite and elegant but surprisingly with a medium sized bowl. I was offered a very good price because it was the demo model and the last one. A better price than I could get from down south or England. . . . . no shipping. I was about $60 bucks short and went home a bit disappointed.
So made the decision yesterday to withdraw my weekly food budget, which is about $60, got a ride downtown to Sheffields hoping that the pipe was still there. It's not. It's in the photo below.
I'll complete the story and smoking report maybe tomorrow after some paperwork and chrony analysis if I get it done before my self-imposed deadline. In the meantime, here it is by itself. The cob'll be put on the back burner for a bit.

SWR Aro in a cob. It is quite tasty!
Yesterday was a four-bowl day for me plus a bonus cigar! I had tried Bob's Chocolate Flake early in my journey and wrote it off because I was expecting/looking for an aromatic with a strong chocolate flavor (like Boswell's Chocolate Cream). Revisited for the first time in almost a year and absolutely love it! I chalk it up to an evolving palette that has recently 'discovered' blends like Mac Baren Dark Twist Roll Cake and Vanilla Roll Cake. Amazing what happens when you combine excellent tobacco with a light quality flavor that enhances the tobacco. The Bob's was smoked in my Peterson PotY '24.
Followed that up with MB Scottish Blend in my Ashton Pipe Club of London PotY '25, MB Dark Twist Roll Cake in my Parker Bulldog, and then some Boswell's Northwoods in my LCS Briars Rhodesian.
That apparently wasn't enough, so I ended up smoking a Romeo y Julieta 1875 Madellas de Oro Reserva Real cigar.

Hahaha yeah. I was recently castigated for buying more jars that won’t fit on that shelf, and I clearly need at least one more pipe rack. I try to be circumspect in my hoarding, but it’s a losing battle. My SO has her own obsession with ball jointed dolls so she has little room to critique my proclivities. It’s like an alcoholic telling a pothead to cut back on the green stuff.That's almost as chaotic as my smoking area lol! At least yours are in order. I do try, but . . . .

Those Gawith chocolate flakes are so good! I actually prefer the Sam Gawith version because I find it has more of a dark chocolate note.
BriarWorks Cannonball in action, so to speak. C&D Eight State Burley
Near the last quarter of this bowl of first production Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a straight smooth brown undated Gesandt Canadian Made in England with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe was originally owned by Poul Schluter, who was the Prime Minister of Denmark from 1982-1993. Snacking follows this smoke.
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69. 
Enjoyed some snacking, and have passed the half way mark of this bowl of year 2020 D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a tapered black p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Tomato the Brave came in to eat, and play. He bit my right foot and ankle several times, very gently, and then batted a cat nip ball around the den. And then he came back to grab my foot and bunny kick me. That hurt just a little, so I made him stop. Tomato looked up at me like he knew he did something wrong. I scratched his head, he gently nipped my hand, gave it a lick, and went back to batting around cat nip toys. He finally ran out of energy, and laid his head on my foot for a snooze. Sleepy Suzy was watching him, and kept looking back at me, probably wondering why I don't make ketchup out of a Tomato.
Final bowl of the evening tonight is some old McClelland 2015 in an apple meer.
Now smoking first production Watch City English Ernie-ental in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem.
C&D Morning Drive in a Peterson 2004 pipe of the year.
A third of a bowl left of year 2020 C&D Virginia Gentleman in a straight smooth dark brown pre-1940s Comoy’s Jost’s Olde English Supreme J299 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. I'll end the day with this smoke.
Makhuwa plus lat in a Peter Klein.
