WC Blue Ridge Special in a Cavicchi
A mix of GH Kendal Gold Vanilla Shag and Five Brothers in a Paronelli Volkan Morta Sandblast 
HH Arcadian out of Savinelli 806
Escudo in a Stanwell No.242 - it’s like a No.11 that was scaled back to specifically hold one slice of escudo. Literally.
G. L. Pease Quiet Nights in a no name Meerschaum.
PS Bulleye in a Ryan Alden Devil Anse
What did the pipe smoker smoke back in the day if he/she lived in intemperate climes?
Maybe something like this:-

These examples stamped St. CLAIR / PATENT / LONDON MADE for bowl sizes 1, 2 and 3 made in aluminium and in silver (the silver caps stamped F.P ( Frederic Purnell) with marks for London 1906:-

Bengal Slices in a Paykoc Meerschaum Bulldog
Black Frigate in a Rossi Rubino Antico 8320.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught catfish and asparagus with red grapes and cherries for dessert. I'm now smoking Prince Albert in a 2020 smooth light brown, slight bent J. Everett straight grain chubby author with a spalted birch ferrule and a black saddle vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Going to clean a few pipes before long.
Enjoying some Revor Plug in an Emerald MM with dark roast coffee with a tab of butter...surprisingly good. My neighbor’s pup Hunter in the background being lazy.

Red Flag Blend (Exotics/Orientals) in 2 Amadeus (Greece) pipes, a diplomat (right) and a bent apple (left).
To all my military Veteran brothers, thank you for your service. I salute you.

Blend of 1q and 5 Brothers in a no name basket pipe.
Lightly aged PS Luxury Bullseye Flake in a Stanwell Danish Reserve on the damp FL porch with black coffee.
Now smoking year 2014 HU Directors Cut in a smooth straight Lane era 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. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. I wish the manufacturer hadn't changed the formula on this blend, and reduce the perique content. Cheap so-and-sos didn't even have the common decency to tell the blend creator, Hans Wiedemann.
2007 Sam’s Flake in my Nuttens belge.
Now Smoking Captain Black White in a bent basket pipe. Diet Coke is what I'm drinking, as I enjoy a warm evening on the front porch.
Savinelli Janus in a Rinaldo Lithos apple bowled Lovat....or Lovat shanked apple.
