Is there a date stamp on the silver?
Anthology 1/2 Carolina Red Flake 2022 1/2 in a Bjarne. Nice flavorful pipe this morning.
H&H black house in an eltang mini aj, reading a book about Japanese monsters.
Old Joe Krantz in an Altinay.
It may be a bit too warm for this blend. I think I’ll stick to smoking it early in the morning or in the evening when it is a bit cooler.

No, just faux hallmarks. I suspect these were made to emulate an earlier turn of the century style pipe.
Some G.L. Pease Union square from 2013 that a friend gave me as a sample in a Sean Reum natural blaster billiard with Cumberland stem. This pipes is light as a feather and the tobacco is excellent! Happy smokes all! 
Back home to my refuge after spending the last few days traveling and spending time with family. Had an enjoyable trip but it's good to be home. Smoking 2018 Best Brown Flake in a meer.

First time smoking this pipe which was great, almost tempted to go the smaller pipe route.

Finished a bowl of Royal Yacht in my meer. Now for some Davidoff Danish in my BC
What does your processing process entail?
For no good reason this is the first time I’ve smoked this pipe in over 10 years. Made by Andrew Staples with a mastodon ivory accent (is that the right term?).
Also found an old jar of FMOTT when digging out this pipe. I had it left over because I didn't enjoy when I first had it maybe 8 or so years ago but I think that was due to an undeveloped palette. I’m sure the age didn't harm it either as I prefer mellower smokes. It reminds me how good McClelland tobaccos really were but definitely not something I would chase to pay $50+ a tin for.

That is a beautiful pipe!!Yesterday's Bayou Veermaster was a bit nic-strong for me! This morning going with just straight Hamborger in the 6 panel bent lattice meer, with coffee. I am really hankering for the honey sweetness of Peretti Ampersand Flake but it is tucked away in it's paint can in the cellar -- and the Hamborger is open...will it satisfy, I wonder?

This morning I gave some MM965 a go in an Erik The Red bent apple. The jump from aro's to english has been a little jarring. I really enjoy Country squire aro's, but am trying to branch out. It didn't help that I have a mild cold and couldn't smell much.
Looks like my favorite pipe, the 803EX!
W.Ø. Larsen Mellow Mixture from 2016 in a very large old K&P Peterson Standard Meerschaum pipe.
Back home for lunch and smoking Carter Hall in a Cayuga Rhodesian.
In honor of @woodsroad’s Ehrlich thread smoking some 1994 Christmas Cheer in an Ehrlich meer with 14k gold band.
