Keeping the morning alight with a bowl of Murray's era Erinmore flake i picked up in 2012 in a Cinar cherrywood.
Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Driving home from getting a ticker tracker glued on for a few days.

HU Asmara in a Viprati One Clover half-bent pot.
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Gatlinburlier Christmas pipe from 2007.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star mmmMocha, neat, is my drink.
Been burning Chenet’s for the past couple days. Bowl number 381 in the little meer is more of the same. 
HU Director's Cut in the Mastro de Paja 3AL Egg, and nogged decaf.
That one goes through a 50 g tin with around 4 smokes. Say it's been smoked 60 times, then 1.65 pounds.
I know you meant poor but felt the need to share useless information. A pood is an old Russian unit of weight measurement. 1 pood is about 35 pounds.

Morning smokes, as I like them. Mad Fiddler in the McQueen Barrel Rider Miniature, and Black Frigate in the Ropp J05. Both dedicated to the respective fodder, and the match is perfect. Get my best smokes with these two matchups - pipes and tobacco love each other.
Both pipes are a little quirky - in spite of the size of the barrel, the McQ has a tiny capacity - about 1/3 the Ropp, which looks smaller but has a very deep and wide bowl. All that briar on the woodstem keeps the burn well distributed, and gives the short 15 - 18 minute smoke with MF a coolness it doesn't have in other pipes - and in the other McQ miniatures I only get about 12 minutes (they all have the same size bowls) The Ropp is ditto with Black Frigate - I get the best flavour out of this great Navy by using a somewhat loose 2 pack and using slow smoking techniques. I can now draw an easy 35 minutes without any dottle stage and the burn is clean as a whistle. Spending time with each tobacco and pipe has really paid off with the best quality smokes I've had. And I don't really want long smokes this early in the day. Both were perfect.
However, we're not having quality weather. More snow, it's colder than a witches nose, dark at 4:00 and my dog is being a pain in the keester. Time for a nap.
