A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2010 Amphora Original (Brown) in a 1990s slight bend black Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root Dark 4 Dublin with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Going to be a very busy day, and I'm ready for all of it!

Inspector Frederick Aberline! If that pipe could talk we'd probably find out who the ripper was. I recall you mentioning this pipe before so lovely to see it having an airing. That pipe needs it own thread Simon!Just drinking my Saturday morning cup of Expresso and smoking a bowl of Coniston Cut Plug 2019 in my 'Jack the Ripper' pipe owned by the detective who led the hunt for the White Chapel Murderer in 1888. The other pipe in the back ground is a more recent addition to my collection from a forum member in Greece. I don't smoke this historical pipe very often as it forms a pair of pipes that are sort of beyond replaceable. I have often thought that if the 'Ripper' himself had smoked a pipe what sort of blend would he have smoked? Probably something that ended with the word 'Slices' no doubt?

As to what blend old Jack smoked, I've often pondered that myself. Bearing in mind the old east end would of stank of horse shit & fanny by gaslight, a pungent aromatic would of been his preference during the night times shenanigans.
Faulkners Nose Gay being the popular aromatic of the time, I reckon he smoked that.
Either way, I’m glad you’re posting on here. Great pics!
@Morrison Jeremiah Did you enjoy smoking the clay pipe?
First bowl of the day is GH&Co Kendal Mixed in my Bari freehand
My own blend of homegrown flue cured Virginias with a touch of C&D latakia to just add a touch of chewiness, a leathery edge…. I call Franklin’s Tower In a Peterson 2021 Rua 106.
Definitely enjoy it thanks.
I'm surprised that it seems to be breaking in the more I smoke it.
From what I had read, clay pipes don't need any breaking in.
Or maybe I'm just getting used to it. I've only had it a few weeks.
Good weekend and pipes to all! Starting with C&D Bayou Morning in a Tilshead smooth Billiard with eighth-bent saddle stem.
C&D Small Batch From Beyond in a Sasieni Family era Four dot natural Lancashire 
@Morrison Jeremiah I'm glad you're enjoying it. Nice pipe!
Purchased from a family member
I don't take it out very often - the pipe I mean. I have a pair of them, both meerschaums, acquired from the same source. Sadly I missed out on buying his wallet, cigar case and warrant card which went to a collector in the U.S for mega bucks. I also have that cased meerschaum pipe owned by the winner of the Kentucky Derby with a letter from the Great Grand Son of the same name - that one only cost me $50.00. I posted about it on here once and someone came up with a load of interesting information on the guy as he died so young!
Packed for later, GH Scotch Mixture in a Rossi Palermo yacht 8404, one of my favorite Savinelli shapes. Going to get some Laotian food to pick up for an after-Thanksgiving occasion and exchange of gifts.
Normally don't grab for a blend like this in the evenings, but this is blend growing on me. It might be just 1 or 2% perique, but this has a very nice spice to it with the orientals. I think the Peterson pipe behaves very well, its normally 9mm filtered which I don't use.
Now on the GH&Co Dark Birds Eye in an Ascorti KS Pot
Walking off some more turkey - Xmas Cheer 2007 in old Barclay-Rex pot.
SG Commonwealth in a Peterson Atlantic
MacBaren HH Burley Flake in a Kaywoodie Silhouette billiard.
Now smoking year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a medium bend smooth dark brown 1968 Barling 5631 London England TVF billiard silver spigot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to have a big announcement thread in a short while.
