2nd bowl of May is some McC #2020 in this self-salvaged S. Bang biliard:
On the menu for my morning commute was a bowl of C&D Billy Budd loaded in my trusty Pete and paired with a delightfully black coffee.
Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Good day all! Finished the weekend with Reiner Professional. Started today with wonderful Peterson Flake in a large but small-bored Tilshead Semibent.

I was told I could benefit from a Virginia tobacco only pipe! This one arrived today. Savinelli Pisa 804ks canadian. Enjoying it with Capstan Blue.
Peretti 52 in the little Bones Poker
Morning coffee and a bowl of Solani Silver Flake in a 1950 shell briar shape 60 billiard.
Love your Mariana Trench parallel. I have 3 of these bigbowl jobs, and up 'till now have vastly underused them. They are all superb smokers that give me 2 hour smokes if I too, have the patience to persist. They are also the premium pipes in my collection, a Pete, a Savinelli, and a Brigham. I'm not going to "tweak" them out of my collection - they're just too good and beautiful to do so and would have to by pried out of my dead hands. But definitiely preferring a max 40 minute smoke, I've gravitated to smaller pipes as the norm.
They're now in my rotation. Solved the problem (if it is a problem) because about 3 times a week, evening, usually, I really enjoy a long smoke with milder or more aromatic tobaccos. I have enough of these that "protected species" will not be involved. When I finish my fiddling and farting around, I'll be doing a post on this, probably in the "Pipe Collection" forum as well as here. I'll also upgrade the usual snapshot by taking out my studio strobes, which are also uder-utilized. and going for it.
Just as a "tip of the hat", the "Mariana Trench" moniker you coined will now be used as a reference in addition to what I've already nicknamed "The Three Kings."

I would say the same here on my end, but that'd be a temptation too irresistible to certain people I know...
Got a late start to my day, and am a third of the way through this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. M'lady and I fed our cats, and all the ferals. When I came to the den, Abner the Eager was right where he was when I went to bed. I wonder if he ever woke up in between those times, the silly li'l fella.
