5 year old Byronic Fragments in a blasted Willmer billiard.

Sutliff Balkan Supreme in a Karl Erik Ekstravagant “A” horn.

Seems to be the season for horny pipes! I loves this one! Looks like it belongs in the back row of a symphony orchestra. Bravo!

And I used to gripe about commuting 70 miles, round trip, for work. Had nothing to complain about.

Actually, I travelled about the same distance twice a week for 15 years or so, from Prince George to Vanderhoof. Yes it can be an ordeal, but you have to make it work for you . . . I took lots of photos, sometimes did a bit of road hunting in season . . . that kind of thing. You seem to have a lot of imagination and appreciation for beauty. Bet you made it work for you, too!

Just finished smoking year 2013 Capstan Gold Flake in a straight black 1932 Dunhill R double patent shell pot with a vernon tenon and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Been listening to the Braves-Red Sox game on the XM because I won't pay to watch Apple TV+.

First bowl of ‘25 Sansepolcro tonight. I’m of course using my Boswell pipe. Glad it’s time to start the weekend

Smoking 2012 HH Old Dark Fired Flake in my Peterson Kinsale XL14 while roasting some Kenya Premium AA coffee. Good times in the late spring.

Bada-Bing in my stack billiard BST.

@tfdickson Wow!! is this a new one, don't recall this one. That grain is FABULOUS!

Thank you, not new but I haven’t smoked it in a while.

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful rack and a half of baby back ribs and deviled eggs dinner. Dessert was more Boston creme pie. I just finished smoking 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. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Exclusive in a Savinelli.

2019 GL Pease Odyssey… it smokes almost exactly like Abingdon but maybe a notch or two below Abingdon in the sweetness department. I love them both though

 

[onepyrotec]

Finished my work week with some From Beyond in an Al Pascia meerschaum

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of KBV Jupiter Slices 7.1 in a post-1938 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 bulldog with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Nigel Bruce smoked this model in two Sherlock Holmes movies. Please consider asking Shane Ireland at Smoking Pipes and Peterson to bring the pipe back into production.

How do you get along with aged Gatlinburlier blends? I have a jar of Cherokee Cherry and Frank's Blend from about 2015 harred up. I also have each a large jar of Iwan Ries Gourmet English ad Aromatic jarred in 2011that I forgot about.

This one is still decent. A little more burley forward at this point, which is fine by me. I've been smoking rarely from the jar through the years. I don't smoke many lat blends these days but got the hankering to go back and try a few lately.

Lots of time out and about with guests the last couple days. Back to the solitude of the shop with a bowl of 2025 Sansepolcro in a Tekin squashed tomato. Quite nice...
