WCC Glass Slipper in a James Upshall.
G&H Coniston Cut Plug in a Savinelli Tundra 644
Bosun Cut Plug in my little Altinay. It smells lovely out on my back deck right now... just like the Avon lady was sitting right here with me.
Sutliff Edgeworth Match in this Meerschaum.
Peterson - Nightcap in a Talamona Reverse Calabash. Before and after handcrafted.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am nearing the last quarter of this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. No walks for now, and not likely later either due to rain. Watching the Yankees-Padres game. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink on this chilly, rainy day. I just discovered that Daisy the Fearl Princess somehow snuck in when m'lady left to go shopping because she just plopped her head down on my foot. I should put her back out, but she really wants warmth and attention. It's a good thing Suzy and Molly are snoozin' in the bedroom because they hate other cats, so I'll leave sneaky Daisy where she is until I get up to get my next smoke.
Double header last evening, Esoterica Tilbury in a Ser Jacopo blast Dublin with a serpentine shank and saddle stem, and GH&Co. Irish X black rope Virginia in a MM maple hardwood apple shape bent Zenon with a nickel band and forest green stem.
Thursday I took an AARP Smart Driver Course, in person, about three hours, a well-taught (depending on the volunteer instructor) refresher and update for drivers over 55. Interested? To find a nearby classroom course, visit aarp.org/findacourse40, or to register for the online course visit aarp.org/driversafe14.

Half way through this bowl of year 2014 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth dark brown 1916 Barling The Hunt with beautiful silver work and a black vulcanite saddle stem with an orific bit. It smokes as great as it looks.
Made a bucksaw at Tribe Bushcraft in Derbyshire; I'm helping build a replica Viking roundhouse there like this one in Norway: Rundhus Avaldsnes Vikingtid - https://avaldsnes.info/en/vikinggard/rundhus/?fbclid=IwAR0EoKViWNCUJDDAVOxYMv4OslNTbfc0hqhnxL2vnfkkYzQN-NWwr1UUtSQ Got 4 of the 8 pillars in now; I helped fell the birch trees for them using my bucksaw! Would be good to sleep in it once it's finished! When I go there, I like to wear my Viking shirt and arming cap; I fit in much better in the woods than in town... Taking my clay pipe and Ennerdale Flake when I do the firelighting tuition; it would be fun to light my clay pipe from the fire without matches or a lighter. When I went to the Redcoats & Revolutionaries event at Cromford Mill, the blacksmith lit my clay pipe with an ember from his forge! I could use an empty pipe tobacco tin for my firelighting kit.

Half way through this bowl of year 2013 E-soterica Tilbury in a smooth medium bend 1999 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Watching the Braves-Phillies game. Just finished cleaning a few pipes.
Peretti D-7485 in the SMS Big Bent Lattice Meer.
Here's the gift mentioned in my earlier post. Savinelli Punto Oro Mister 806, oval shank, saddle stem. A delightful smoke with first, Old Gowrie, then HH Burley Flake. Thank you @edger.

MB HH Pure Virginia in an Altinay.
Enjoying my first taste of Capstan Gold flake. Time to get a second meerschaum pipe so I can post some different pictures!

Passing the quarter mark on this bowl of year 2014 Strang in a 2003 smooth light brown medium bend straight grain Ardor Venere Extra signed by Dorelio Rovera Dublin with a black acrylic saddle stem. Haven't smoked this tobacco or pipe (which is dedicated to the mighty delicious Strang) in quite a while, but it was time to do so. Glad I have an aged stash of this blend. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
It's Merschaum madness tonight! Fun fact, these are all @ashdiggers cast offs. Hey, one man's junk is another man's treasure. And, I treasure all of these bad boys. I got St. Espresso in 2 and my own blend, "Chesterton" (as in GK), in another. I need 3 pipes to get through John Wick: Chapter 4 this evening.
Oh, and these pipes will be paired with some Blantons. Yeah, baby!
