Edward G Robinson in a no name billiard, packing all day for coastal camping and fishing. Packing lots of pipes, tobacco and coffee

 

[FoggyMorning]

That pipe is beautiful.

Thanks! I really like some virgin briar lines of Savinelli.

 

[Lucro]

First bowl in my just-arrived Savinelli 673KS Oceano. Smoked wonderfully from the first draw! Enjoyed some Boswell's Best.

I have been eyeballing one of these. I love that stem

A big favorite after a chicken dinner with the family and my dogs.

Those are often the best.

The wheels on the lawn tractor go round and round... back in business. Got a third of the field mowed before hail came down. Now, Steamworks in my Merchant Service Short Dark Cutty.

 

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. Just finished smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. The Braves-Padres game was rained out, so I've been watching the Angels-Rangers game.

Cornell & Diehl Palmetto Balkan 2024 in a La Savinelli Giubileo D’Oro Dublin

 

[FoggyMorning]

Original Steamworks in a no name meer.

 

[Sobrbiker]

Hangry horses and 5Bros in a MM Let Freedom Ring RobRoy.
Stem is standard bent replacement, the original Danish bent grew loose and chewed up. I ordered a Danish replacement but it was 1/2” longer than what came on the pipe

Billy Budd in a Falcon Squat

 

[seanv]

Winchester from 2022. I've been smoking this one all week. Today and like most days, I'm enjoying it in a Tekin meer.

OJK blue in my Rossi Sera 8614

Not far from finishing this bowl of 2017 Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard with a tapered black acrylic stem. This pipe has only seen this blend and does very well.


Yesterday: Abner the Eager showed up today with a completely healed leg, and a big appetite. He got plenty of attention, but left because Harry the Hairy made him nervous. Harry’s spending a lot of time here lately, and tries to sneak in the house, too. Tomato the Brave was afraid to go near the back door this afternoon because of Harry. It was raining, so I picked Tomato up and brought him inside for about an hour. On two occasions, he wanted to go out, but when he would see Harry on the other side, Tomato ran back behind my chair. He stayed on top of it for a while, which seldom happens. I figure that was his safe spot from Sam and her two scampers. After m’lady cleaned out the scampers’ litter box, Daisy the Feral Princess showed her contempt for them by laying in it.

On my danish bits, when they get loose, (the rings usually fall off by now) i slowly give more force. I turn many of them into army mounts naturally that way. Yet never split a shank yet!

I love the 'rhodesian'ish shape, but it was the stem that pushed me over the edge. Beautiful. I have their Oceano tamper as well. Nice set.
