Savinelli Brunello Flake in this Rich Lewis armadillo:
Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
48° and clear. Italian rusticated poker in a British tradition with 5 year old LNF. Lots of caramels and rich, sweet tones. An upper level smoke. 8.5/10
McConnell Pebblecut in an SMS meer dublin for the commute. Had to pull over on the way to work. 9 degrees, but worth it.
Did a set of walking reps on this Summer-ish day, 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
2019 Escudo in the "English cob" today, moving around to wherever there's the least wind. I'm belatedly realizing that I probably get more tongue burn on windy days because I'm drawing harder during relights, and with less attention to where I'm placing my tongue.
Going to have Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Special Reserve Flake in a Savinelli Estella 320 EX Author (correct stem, with an “E” and normal proportions for a 320, unlike the previously posted Estella 320 KS). I love the grey, marbled stem on this pipe—the majority of the Estellas I’ve come across are in the ubiquitous yellow/gold. I’m fascinated by the Estella rustication and how the traditional Savinelli shapes deviate from standard form because of all the jagged, nooks and crannies.
Enjoying a bowl of Kramer's Father Dempsey in my grandfather's figural meershaum. 
I don't know anything about the pipe, except he picked it up overseas while he was in the service in the 50's. I've had it 25 years and only smoked it a handful of times.

Going in the month with Sutliff Black Vanilla with a Missouri Meerschaum Ozark pipe.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and have about a quarter of a bowl left of first release 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. Lavazza Espresso, neat, is my drink.
Wilke’s Lizzie Blood Orange VA in The French Pipe #5
I haven’t been able to successfully acquire St Espresso. What are your thoughts??!!
Now smoking 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.
Stunning carving and nice amber coloring !! Really beautiful heirloom !
1/2 bowl of fresh Rivendell out of bag in my 1980's Erica System Pub Pipe (Pete 2nd) with 22mmx50.5mm chamber. I smoked slowly for 40 minutes before I had to stop. Based on tobacco left I am guessing I could have gone another 20 minutes therefore this seems to be a two hour minimum pipe. There was some moisture around the shank chamber walls from condensation but nothing in bottom. This was the driest smoke I have ever had ... none of my other pipes smoke this dry. I put a pipe cleaner down the draft hole when loading and packed a bit tighter. The dry system worked today. And Rivendell is always tasty but I did sneeze once from the burley.
I pushed a second bowl of Mac Baren Navy Flake in a Peterson: Iora spigot (CP) 120. So goo... squirrel!
Rattray’s Old Gowrie purchased May 2020 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
