GLP Laurel Heights in a Castello Sea Rock

Had a go at some Verge Engine Overdrive in my Bones Bulldog. Quite tangy once you get across the half-way mark. Decent. Needs some time in the cabinet to open up a bit.

 

[Chasing Embers]

I have one and I've thought about it. The finish on there is pretty thick, I sanded off the finish and another MM cob by hand that took a while. Also it needs a good blast.

Contact MM. They may be able to get you an unfinished Dagner. Most of their pipes are available unfinished but only directly from them.

Finished the burley, and have moved on to Wilke Tobacco Company Peanut-Butter & Chocolate in the apple orchard. Mmmm so tasty.

McClelland Christmas Cheer 2011 in an elderly Linkman's Dr. Grabow DeLuxe Bruyere billiard No. 9714.

About a third of a bowl left of Mac Baren HH Burley Flake in a straight smooth dark brown 1918 Pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 2 apple with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Been going through unsmoked straight pipes to smoke Wilke English blends in for work smokes. Just finished photographing them.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the U.S. folks on here. Am having a quiet restful day. Didnt do any special cooking today. Friends and family are gathered elsewhere. Didn't want anybody getting sick, since I'm still coughing. Watching a little World Cup. And reading this forum. Have a great day all.

I hope you are feeling better Carol.

Le Petit Robin in a Savinelli Roma 704.

The rain has moved in, the temp has ticked up and the wind is down.. back to the screen porch for a 'first bowl' of newly arrived Peretti 432 in one of my father's old billiards I have just cleaned up.. first time trying this blend and first time this pipe has been used in 50 years. Only says 'imported briar' on it. Some 'freehand' carving in a few strips. Basket version of a custombilt? Smoking great! ...with iced decaf

F&T Vintage in a new Clay. I'll take a better photo when it is daylight. This is AL Peltier, it is a real pipe. Stem is mediocre and it pushes into some cork which sucks. It is double walled and is smoking sweet.

Three Friars in a Cardinal House Brandy

Relaxing before dinner, Wilke “Gramercy park” in a Morgan bones tankard , nice robust pipe, smokes great.

The Haunting in a Savinelli 412KS, on my way to the battle of Helm's Deep. Reminds me of Bosnia 1999, so wet and muddy.

I had a wonderful visit with my Saturday ZOOM buddies while I smoked my Upshall blasted, ring grained, bent bulldog filled with a variation of my "Dino's Balkan Blend" (Sutliff 515RC, Gandalf & Hogwart's Latakia, D&R Ramback and D&R Yenidje).
A mug of Barrie House Morning Ritual coffee went well with the smoke.

 

[LeafErikson]

Just cracked a tin of 2020 C&D wintertime reserve ‘Dancer’ and smoked it in the new Ahmet Govem meer. It’s fantastic stuff and it’s a real shame it isn’t regularly available. It’s a straight Virginia (mostly bright) crumble cake with a bit of a honey topping. It has some citrus notes, honey notes, and satisfies on the nicotine front.

MM 965 in a Pete 69

 

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, steel head trout and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching an episode of McCloud.

Irish Flake in a Peterson System Standard B42.

More Bas Matica tonight in the big BST.

Another night with Mac Baren Navy Flake, folded and stuffed, in an Alexander Hasty billiard. One of the kids is sick, so it's going to be a long night.
