Day off today, so time to enjoy a bowl after going to the shops with the wife and some yard work.
A well-earned bowl of Semois (chopped up cigar)
In a 1979 Cadogan-era Loewe pot spigot.

Now smoking Peter Stokkebye No. 17 English Luxury in a straight post-1981 GBD Prehistoric 133 billiard with brass accents, the letter K stamped on the shank with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Listening to Crime Classics as I work. One of the better written series in the 1950s.
Smoking some Dunhill Rum Truffle in a Salim meer.
Thank you @JimInksThat's my kind of pipe!
I feel a lot of the critism of Cadogan-era British marquees to be unfounded.
This is exceptionally well-made. A nice piece of briar, spot-on drilling and silver work by Les Wood.
Every bit as good as my pre-Cadogan Loewes.
Kendal Gold Banana in a meerschaum banana.?
Pegasus in the morning out of a Rossi Vittoria Billiard. In the evening, Yorktown in an unfinished Savinelli 645, and goodnight smoke of Haunted Bookshop in a Rossi Vittoria Apple.
Close to finishing this bowl 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. Snacking follows this smoke!
Enjoyed some snacking, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2021 KBV Your Welcome in a straight smooth dark brown 1930s (Comoy’s) Canadian Club 230 eight paneled billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Wow just Wow!
Great job on that wood my friend
Morning Y’all, Edisto in a Stanwell
Duane,
I'd call that a cornucopia ?
Had it been a basket weave horn I probably would have too.
The paneling and the texture of the rim made it look like a banana cut in half.?
Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke Golden Sceptre in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ended work for the day.
Decided to treat myself to a bowl of 1960s Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a medium bend dark brown 2017 Don Warren 17 smooth straight grain rough top Dublin with a multi-brown cumberland stem and ferrule in the military mount style. A friend gave me a small jar of it three years ago, and it was time to have a bowl. The pipe I'm smoking has only seen original Edgeworth so it's getting some overdue attention. It's so interesting how fermentation over the years gave this particular sample a light fruity wine essence that overshadows the cocoa and to a small extent, the molasses. It's retained some moisture, but still burns a tad quickly as I'm nearing the half way mark already.
HH Burley Flake in the IRC Blackruf apple sitter.
@Ag®o , thank you sir! This was a first in two ways for me. First time using Grecian briar and first time doing a blast finish. I was content with the results on both accounts.
