Penzance in a Herbaugh recovering from Halloween.
LOL, poor Jim is going to wake up soon and feel ten years older! On the other hand my Jeep Wrangler doesn’t look outdated or futuristic, lol.

Aaaah! The comforts of home: Coffee and Mark Twain/ Hyde Park (Mark Park?) in a MM Legend.
Sutliff Christmas Spice out of my Missouri Meerschaum Ozark.
The mailman just delivered this little nose-warmer, a 4” French Clap Pipe De Luxe with horn stem and gold band (can’t read the hallmark unfortunately). I can’t find any information on it and it’s probably a sub-brand of another maker but for £9.50 it was a steal and probably only smoked a couple of times. No idea of the age but it’s a decent little pipe and I’m having some 633 for the maiden voyage. 
Indulging in a delightful bowl of the Squire’s Yazoo Witch in a new Baraccini Strattura Ebano 344 that I picked up from P&C for a song. Proving to be a nice little pipe for the money. Yazoo Witch is one nice juiced up VaBur worth the smoking.

Trying out some BriarWorks Peach Cobbler for the first time in a Peterson Junior Rusticated Billiard.
My initial impression is that there's nothing terribly peachy going on here. It's a basic aromatic with a flavor that's mostly sweet Black Cavendish, nutty Burley, and a little grassy Virginia. There is something vaguely fruity in the background, though I don't think I would have identified it as peach had I not been told it was supposed to be peach. There's also a hazelnut and amaretto cream kind of note that drifts in and out. The smoke seems to be making me salivate and spit quite a bit too, which is odd. The tobacco burns very quickly but is smooth as can be on the retrohale, and has a nicotine content that I'd say is on the lower end of medium. I don't think this one will be a keeper though if for no other reason than the weird saliva issue and overall lack of peach flavor. I'll try smoking it again with some dry time before passing judgement, since it was pretty wet straight out of the jar.

Good All Saints Day! Starting with GLP Telegraph Hill in a Tilshead smooth Canadian EXL (prize pipe). Those Satou pipes are glorious, Ben.R.C., and I never get tired of looking at them!
The mug inspired me to choose this tiny straight apple pipe made by Jared Coles with Meridian by Pease.
Starting November off with Peretti Thanksgiving Day Blend (this year's batch now on sale!) in a pre-Cadogan Comoy's Sandblast medium billiard, with coffee
Only a pipe smoker would look at this and say “ that’s beautiful straight grain ham.” C&D Oriental Silk in a Chacom. 
Eso Tilbury in a medium billiard by Kaywoodie, one of the matched grain set, -I’m seeing how often I have to write that before the predictive text picks up on it, bloody lazy phone, and me I guess. 
Having some Bayou Morning in the Super Briar. Probably some Exclusive after that!
Near the half way mark on this bowl of early 2000s 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.
It was wishful thinking on my part.
