Inaugural bowl of dark fragrant in a Mimmo Provenzano chimney egg. Debating on sanding the coating out of the bowl. Anyone know how olive wood will hold up without the coating?
We’re getting grass!
C&D Yorktown/Exclusive about 50/50 in the Sports 2. I’m not a huge Yorktown fan (has a little over 2yrs on it), but this makes it better for me.

WCC FUSTG in a Peterson Donegal Rocky 69. Good stuff and reasonably sure it is not 507C or PS LNF.
Finally caught up on posts. It's been a pretty busy week. But on the menu for my morning commute today were the remnants of 2 PocketJars I keep in my work bag, GH&Co Kendal Dark and ODF. I really love these two tobaccos and prefer them separate, but they tasted pretty good mixed!
For my commute home I had the last bit of another PocketJar, GH&Co Rum Twist loaded in my Thayne 33.
Hope you all had a great day!

You should probably quit lighting your pipe with a blow torch! Just kidding, beautiful pipe!!

Well, today is a special day for me. If my dad were still living, he would be 98 years old today. Sadly, we lost him in 2014. He was in the U. S. Army and one of the photos below show him wearing a hooded, water-proof coat while crossing the Atlantic aboard a ship, near the end of WWII.
Great reflection. My dad (passed '92) would be 100 this coming Sept (1925). I remember he had 2 stinky old Falcon pipes in the garage. No idea whatever happened to them, but I'd love to have them today, to clean up & smoke.
The pic is meaningful to me, since I did 3 years US Army. But the thought of crossing the Atlantic aboard a ship? No, no, no. Motion sickness would do me in. Never did rides at the State Fair. And as a kid on a ride in the car, worst thing was to kneel on the back seat looking out the rear window. OMG ... smoking a big black cheap cigar wouldn't have given me worse "spins". Gangster movies where somebody is grabbed, tied up & thrown into the trunk which is slammed shut while they then drive around for hours, fast turns, quick stops ... absolutely horrific to imagine.

Ye Olde Signe in Ye Olde Birthyear Dunnie Shell, and water in my Great Aunt Peggy's favorite glass. Was going though some old family photos today. Peggy was my grandmother's sister on my mom's side and was a diehard White Sox fan, and a Derby Fan. I was four when she got this glass. It's the one thing I chose from her humble possessions and I treasure it. 
Bowl of PSLNF Sutliff 507-C VA Slices Generic Flake Tobacco #493A in a Foyard Rhodesian, after an especially annoying outdoor chore day. Really looking forward to this week being the rearview mirror! 8/10

Pegasus in Stanwell second, great smoker! Coffee
Thanks to & courtesy of a Pipe Club brother last night, I've enjoyed a pipeful of Sextant. WOW ... very unique, complex, full of "flavor". (Thanks, Ted). Smoking it in a Stanwell 62 (Vario finish), an excellent smoking pipe, a pipe I take much "pride of ownership" in.
NOTE: To clarify my comment, I'll quote the fine gentleman in British Columbia:
" Remember we are not pipe owners; we are pipe men and women who hold our pipes in trust until they pass on into the trust of the next generation."

Bosun cut plug in a Pete Irish Made 999. Always a nice break from other blends.
So glad you enjoyed it! That 62 is a beauty!
Just finished smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight 1960s 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Now smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1984 medium bend black grain etched Savinelli Non Pareil 9310 pokerish dublin with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite flared stem. It's time to check on the ferals.
BriarWorks Pete’s Beard’s Blend in a Ron Smith extreme Anse morta with brown stem.
OJK in a Santambrogio Bent Pot to start the day.
