Sutliff Virginia Slices in a 1901 Sam McLardy Meer
Good day all! Starting with Savinelli Brunello Flake in a small fly-weight Tilshead smooth tan Dublin with flattened shank and matching tapered stem size 3-4.
Sutliff Virginia Slices in a 1904 BBB
GLP Stonehenge Flake in a Castello great line le dune calabash.
Since I smoked a white pipe yesterday (the clay Peterson Shape 8 loaded with some Esoterica Penzance from 2021), I thought today would be a good day to shift to the Dark Side and load some Esoterica Pembroke (2021) in my Oguz Simsek Darth Vader Figural. I meant to break this in and light it up on May 4th, but, I was nowhere near my pipes at the time. Better late than never.
I originally commissioned two of these last Fall with the intention of giving one to my friend, Chris, for his birthday at the end of March this year (he's a big Star Wars fan, but, loves Star Trek even more). I did, and he was going to light it up on May 4th, but, I haven't had a chance to talk to him or see any photographic evidence.
(Pic sent to me by Oguz Simsek when he completed the pipes)

By the garden. Having some Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake in a Ropp. ?
F&T Cut Virginia Plug in a Rubio Bulldog.
HU Nashville County in an Ashton brindle. Such a great, consistent, all day smoke.
Good evening. Germain's SLF in a Pibe Dan.
Those are the Chugach Mountains, on the other side of the house we have the Talkeetna Mountains.
A very rainy and snowy day in Idaho. With the morning chores done, I’m sitting down for a relaxing smoking and a hot cup of tea. Got the Savinelli Oscar pot packed with some C&D Derringer; cup of strong Pu’erh tea is my drink.
2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a Jack Howell Apple.
Lazy'd out this am, and bought coffee at BK. yech.... had a nice bowl of Artisan pirate's cake blend (1/2 artisans, 1/2 pirate cake).... of course the coffee was so bitter that I blew through the lightly packed bowl quickly and had a little Peterson flake in a clay to round out the morning.
I've been watching that crack since around 2010, happened on my last deployment, but is still fine... one day I will have to make a bridle for it, but I guess I'll wait till it leaks/cracks through first.... this is a 17 year old cob that has been smoked hard and put up wet.... she has been around the world multiple times and seen some craziness, but is still going strong......
HOTW in a Rattray's Chubby Jackey and some Black Tea with a splash of milk on the side.
