Good weekend and pipes to all! Started with GLP Stonehenge Flake in a Savinelli Autograph flame grain Billiard. Followed with an always enjoyable afternoon bowl of Peterson Elizabethan Mixture in an Upshall P pencil shank Dublin.

Straight Oriental in clay, I mixed in more of the brighter leaf and all of a sudden it's a really nice smoke.
Used to have a really nasty bite before. Enjoying some sweet North Macedonian red with it, nothing going on this saturday so I got M*A*S*H, The A-Team, Popeye, Becker and NewsRadio on shuffle in my playlist.

Breaking in a birthday gift to myself I received today, a Sergei Cherepanov bent apple. Breaking it in with some aged Interlude and a cup of light roast to go with it. 
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” 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. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
That's a beautiful pipe, man. Congrats! And Happy Birthday!
University Flake in a Big Ben churchwarden.
I purchased this pipe several weeks ago at a local Antique Mall. I finally got around to sanitizing the stem. It appears to have been very lightly smoked. A no-name meerschaum pipe for a very reasonable price. It’s a nice small pipe four times when I may want to enjoy a shorter smoke.
I packed some Country Squire, Merriweather tobacco for the first smoke.

@Dyakoff How's things in Ukraine; are you safe? I thought most of the population were in Poland and Romania...
There's a Ukrainian family in Sheffield go to Tribe Bushcraft at Holmesfield in Derbyshire, they've got a Ukrainian flag there. Shame the flags have gone from Donetsk Way tram stop though...
Happy birthday man! Hope you have/had an enjoyable one.
Peter stokkebye luxury navy flake in the ropp j07. One of those tobacco/pipe matches made in heaven. One flake fits beautifully after being loosely rubbed out. The pipe also has a wide open draw after being originally drilled to accommodate a stinger so the thing practically smokes itself.
I got a three hour smoke out of the GBD while I worked on some Thanksgiving silliness for the Secret Santa thread, and watched the first two hours of the UFC prelims. Took a break for lunch, and am now watching the main card (which unfortunately lost its main event). Going to have Dan Tobacco Devil’s Holiday in a large Ropp Cherrywood, with a bent vulcanite stem, with black and silver logo. Twelve ounce (355 mL) Coca-Cola can shown for scale. This should be a relatively long smoke as well.
Happy Birthday to @AppalachianPiper92 !

A bit chilly, but this will be the last bowl of this tin of PP. Took long enough to finish it. But now I kinda like it. Plum Pudding in Peterson SH Original P-lip. Still have two different versions of PP.
C&D’s John Marr in a noname bent billiard
G&H Bob’s Chocolate Flake in a Savinelli Design 207
Some 2020 KBV Verge Engine Overdrive before I try out the 2022 version. Been smoking this new production Barling Bent Billiard a lot. 9mm filter. 
Three Sails in a cob with cold decaf. very satisfying volume of smoke, pleasant light taste, a touch sweet. Quick smoke
I would but that large pipe is the size of my smallest ones. Why would I have to hit someone up for tobacco? I've got just under 50 years worth in my cellar not to mention I wouldn't be around anyone when I'm smoking.@Chasing Embers should try it out some time!
One of my smaller meerschaums.

And since I'm here, Auenland at work.
Thanksgiving Day in a Falcon. Equally great with coffee, and with IPA…
@Chaukisch If that was me it would be a giant 'cadger' clay pipeSome freshly cut Latakia Virginia Bright in my sawn-off hunter pipe, a cold pilsener to wash it down.
It's as good a smoke as it always was. Can't believe it took me so long to try this leaf straight.

My damn washing machine broke yesterday and flooded the bathroom and parts of the hallway, two days after I gave the whole place a good and thorough scrubbing.Thankfully there was no other damage and the mess was quickly cleaned up. Still...
On a happier note, I recently got hooked on old pipe tobacco TV ads. Many of you have probably seen them on the tube back in the days. This one is probably my favorite, it definitely made me want to try some
St. Bruno. Just look how enthusiastic that guy handles his pipe.
Followed by this one.
That's a neat trick the old fox is pulling off, @Chasing Embers should try it out some time!
I also like how they all pack their pipes in those commercials, they don't give a shit!
@Carol - Hope you get well soon, I'm sure your pipes are missing you!
Sent you a PM.
