Continuing with my Paronelli Author with a beaded finish and of course, “And So to Bed..,” which I will not sell but rather smoke myself.
Lovely autumn day in Sydney. Blue skies with a very gentle breeze
Previous bowl of Solani Silver Flake smoked down to ash with a 2-match light, no relights needed. With a few Nording Keystones at the bottom of the bowl.
I’m a convert to meer chips and Keystones
Now for a second bowl of
Germain’s Royal Jersey Perique
In the 2nd Tsuge Ikebana smooth egg by Asami Kikuchi 029/20 (her 29th pipe of 2020)

2018 Dunbar in a 1999 Ashton, can’t sleep, smoking and watching Viking movies 
She will be good and fattened up, mouse soup?
seriously, I’m regularly having to save chipmunks from my 4 cats wrath, they bring them in the house more often then I’d like. 
Sounds very Bohemian... Miluji to!
Wilke 515 in a Soren, last smoke of the day. 
Half way through this year 2000 Hoyo de Monterrey.
It’s Friday evening at the Chicago Show. We’re gathered at a table in the smoking tent, a group of good friends ready to sample a vintage tobacco, 70-year-old Durbar. Rolando has acquired a cutter-top tin that he wants to open and share. Fred says, “Are you sure? It’s probably worth more than $1500.” Rolando replies, with a smile, “But if I sell it, I’ll never know what it tastes like.”
The cutter does its job and Rolando peels back the top. Unbelievably, it is still quite moist! And the aroma is intoxicating. Strong, sweet Virginia and Oriental redolence. Dark luxuriant color. We dig in, pack our pipes and light up.
OMG!
The flavor is amazing, full, mellow, sweet, and sapid. We are all of one mind: this stuff is a “magic smoke.” As I puff on my GBD Fantasy 864 Dublin (with a replacement stem made by Jim Cooke, back when he did repairs) one thought stands out in my mind, how lucky to be involved with good friends brought together in a community of folk who enjoy smoking pipes in warm camaraderie and mutual respect.

Nearing the half way mark on this bowl of Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

@Scottmi I've smoked Virginia / Burley in my clay pipes and I've been recommended to try Sillem's Musketeer which is a cube cut Burley / Cavendish. I love the tin art!
GH Cherry Vanilla in a Pollock Irish Harp clay. Going to watch the Coronation online - and wear the Redcoat! Last time we had a King Charles people wore wide brimmed hats and smoked clay pipes. Seems I'm keeping that tradition going strong! The Clay King wishes his luck to the new King Charles!
Not far from finishing this bowl of 1960s Philip Morris Revelation in a mid-1970s smooth brown medium bend Ed Burak Connoisseur bulldog with an acrylic black saddle stem.
A bowl of KBV's Van Gogh in a Nording Hunting Pipe, Smooth Woodcock
Davidoff Flake Medallions in a Radice Rind Pure Billiard and a Cup of Joe.
Rusticated Savinelli 803EX on a cool Scottish morning 
Not far from finishing this bowl of Watch City Queequeg’s Moby Dick Series in a slight bend smooth brown post WWII 1940s Sasieni Ivory 101 Westminster diplomat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This'll do it for me today.
