Smoking some FUSTG in a Pete XL 90. This blend is a winner.

I'm curious , Jim , is that spur just decorative ? Or is it a kind of sitting base ?

Helping a cousin open the beach house this weekend. Taking a break with Amphora Burley Blend in a Peterson Irish Harp #53 Sandblasted Lovat with a mug of black coffee.
Completing some ranch jobs this morning, and enjoying Cowboy Coffee in an Old Dominion Laughing King cob.
I wish I had ordered a dozen more of these with the narrow bowls and reed stems back when they were available. If anyone has extras they’d like to get rid of please let me know.

Perfect day today, so sat outside and smoked a bowl of Balkan Sasieni in a Dunhill Shell LB 8 double patent (1930).
Why don't you try making one of your own? I know a guy who did and he said it was fun, and worth the time and effort. I'll be trying it myself this summer when corn becomes available in my neck of the woods. We all need a project or two.
And cobs really do smoke great!! How to vids online on YouTube!
Peretti 333 sets me up for "burley, cob, coffee."
IMHO it's really good. I mentioned on my visit to Huber that I really enjoy Perique and the young man suggested this. It an English type blend with Perique instead of Latakia. Good for me because the wife dislikes the aroma of Latakia.
Been there and done that. The weeds are eventually gonna win. Bigtime. Then you spend the rest of your life regretting the time and effort you spent doing yardwork that shoulda been spent on fishing, hunting and reading.
Yeah, the neighbours then start talking about you and avoiding you. That's another plus.Huber Englisch Perique in a Radice. 
GH Coniston Cut Plug in a Boswell.
Lots going on today. Stopping for a few minutes to do an after-breakfast bowl of 1792 in a Stanwell Nanna Ivarsson, then off to Seattle and a visit with a friend later in Tacoma for dinner. Wishing you all a great Saturday...
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. Fed my cats, Tomato the Brave and Harry the Hairy. Abner the Eager spent the night inside, and just wanted to go outside. Same way for Daisy the Feral Princess. Watching the Yankees-Rays game. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
That is really an exquisite pipe. One of the nicest short pipes I've seen. Your beverage choice is a perfect pairing. I've noticed, with my own pipes as well, that Peterson really has nailed sandblasting like no other pipe maker. Eye candy!
Yeah, I sympathize with posting problems on forums . . . lighting conditions, color balance, the pipes and their differences in texture and the whole schtick. I don't use cellphones (hate them) so each shot is a separate issue. I use a DSLR and have just settled into a compromise with an on camera flash sometimes bounced or covered with a white handkerchief, a few special effects filters like canvasing to cover up the slop, and let it be mediocre. Forum moves too fast to be as picky as I'd like, and I've got too much detritus in my house now to clear out a place for my studio strobes. It is what it is.
Beautiful and unique pipe . . . not seen anything quite like it here that I remember. I'll post later about what's up, but your question is a great lead in to a few anomolies I've got to correct before I begin using my indoor shooting range. Has mostly to do with potential pellet ricochets off of steel traps. Hope your weekend turns out great, as well.
