Looking back at your post #37 I have to agree. I don't clench so I was thinking which maybe isn't my forte.
@Bright Orange Red , Best of luck on the procedure, and may you heal quickly!
2018 SG Best Brown in a Stanwell Hand Cut
First evening of the month so I'm going with some Blackpoint in my Pete XL02.
Lane LL-7 in a Kaywoodie Shellcraft.
Thanks, I dig it—but, it’s a far cry from an “H” grade pipe.
Granger in a MM Little Devil while grilling up some Porterhouses and asparagus. Sweet potatoes are almost done baking and the onions and mushrooms have been nicely caramelized.
Some 2020 GLP Fillmore, in my tidy little Jensen, ignore the Dorchester in the photo!
Beautiful grain on that!2018 SG Best Brown in a Stanwell Hand Cut
C&D Bayou Morning in a BriarWorks Poker.
Some Vanners Mixture in the Bruno Nuttens Twiggy to start the month.
Good Night all. It's late, I am tired and there is so much more to do. I'll see you all tomorrow morning bright and early with some fun pipes, unusual plug tobacco choices and maybe even some humorous commentary!
Trying for the first time gifted to me from @Akoni808 
Peterson Royal Yacht in a Radice Rind Straight.
When I first started smoking a pipe in the early 80s, Dunhill Royal Yacht was one of the first blends I tried. I got back into pipes four years ago, from my first start in the early 80s, but I’ll never forget how amazing this Dunhill version was.
Now ‘Consistency’ is a word that pops into my mind, as in, how consistent has STG possibly been with this blend, year after year since it’s been under the Peterson name, to compare against what I now have before me, that I don’t know.
What I do remember is that the Dunhill version was more copper in color, and the smell was stronger, and slightly sweeter than this, with it’s unique aroma.
Also, whatever that Royal Yacht flavor was back then, this doesn’t have that flavor.
This is barely a faint version of the past, and with a brand as old as Dunhill, for as long as Dunhill had been around, and the manufacture of this blend, it’s not fair to compare it the original.
And for those of you who missed the original, it was a legend unto its own back then!
Actually, now that I think about it, I‘m not sure if I had the Dunhill version in the early 80s, or the Murray version? Hmm
Either way it was amazing.
Be well everyone!

About to go out on a walk with my lovely bride in this perfect evening spring weather in the northwoods of Wisconsin. Will be smoking 4noggins Weybridge in my new Chacom 102 Nougat (which came from the same purchase in March). 
Cross Eyed Cricket in the Parker again. Good stuff!
