I’m having some Boswells No Bite Delight in a cob on this chilly night. Some Grand Marnier to drink too.

Now smoking well aged Gallagher Three Crowns in a small 1982 three quarter bend meer with a smiling turbaned Turk's head and gold acrylic tapered stem.
1/2 bowl CS Old Toby in Irish Second Hungarian with wide comfort saddle stem after reaming and cleaning bowl a second time, as well as removing rim char and oiling and waxing stummel ... most of the 40 year Balkan ghost is gone and the pipe smokes very nicely now but has a very wide open draw like a corncob. Chamber is actually 19mmx38mm ... I stated 17.5x37.5 incorrectly before. Its difficult to slow sip as the stem and draft hole are so open. But I'll figure it out eventually.
First smoke of 2018 Tordenskjold Virginia Slices in a Former Apple. This gets mixed reviews and I can see why as the perique is very light, but present. VaPer enthusiasts could leave wanting more and Straight VA smokers won't like the addition. Really enjoying this one and looking forward to letting the tin breathe:
Part way through this bowl of year 2020 Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake in a straight smooth brown 1933-1945 Comoy’s patent Grand Slam 159 *4 apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
I just jarred up new tins of SG FVF and St James Flake, and decided to combine the shake from both and smoke that in my Big Ben Ranger. Well, once I get it to stay lit…
Edisto in a J.Alan, enjoying a break in the seemingly constant light rain of the last 3 days.
Seeing the the mention of Sam Gawith, I am smoking their Full Virginia Flake in a 1920 Peterson 01 with extra long stem. It's a recently complete refurbish of bowl (bought only) and finally finding replacement stem. Looks wild but is truly an amazing smoke.
On my way to get sweaty at Mount Doom, Mordor, w/some SWR and chilled red wine for comfort. Happy smokes!
Golden Triangle Paulina in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple, and have passed the first third of this bowl of year 2022 Mac Baren Burley London Blend in a smooth medium bend 2011 Rinaldo Collection Fiammata Silver Line 7 Odea 04 flame grain bulldog with a silver band and a tortoise shell acrylic saddle stem. Watching a Jimmy Wakely western.
C&D Wintertime Reserve (2020) Vixen in a Gepetto.
Now smoking year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem.
Year 2010 GL Pease Jack Knife Plug in a cob. Drinking Makers 46. 
About a quarter of a bowl left of year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a slight bend 1968 group 4S Dunhill Shell 475 cherrywood with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Fed the ferals, did the dishes,and cleaned some pipes.
