About to smoke this new to me Castello #33 filled with MB Burley Flake. This pipe is a Scotti era pipe but what makes it a wee bit special is it's only got the Carlo stamp in the oval and not Carlo Scotti. Not sure how it's come to be but I've not seen another like it.
Now that I own a Marxman Straight Grain pipe as fancy as the other boy’s pipes, I cut up a good piece of Happy Brown Bogie rope and added a pinch of Five Brother’s for ignition and I’m on a nicotine binge.
Essence of Vermont in a rusticated Kaywoodie 95B saddle stem, with an Irish coffee and Bulleit bourbon.
Bill Bailey’s Balkan Blend in a Tonni Nielsen No. 5 Nautilu.
Going to have Sutliff Molto Dolce in a Meerschaum Figural Skull (with a replacement acrylic stem) from the late 19th or early 20th Century. The “VCF” hallmark on the electroplated band suggests this was probably made by Vincent-Coutier et Fils from Saint-Claude (it came in an Au Pacha tobacconist case with a Geneva, Switzerland address). One day, I’ll repair the hinges on the case and get a proper replacement stem made that fits in the case. For now, at least this pipe is smokable and can be enjoyed.
Finished work for the day, fed the ferals, and am close to finishing this bowl of C&D Virginia Gentleman in a straight smooth dark brown pre-1940s Comoy’s Jost’s Olde English Supreme J299 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. That'll do it for me today.
Drying out a little Makhuwa with a sprinkle of lat...waiting for the sun to hit the yard. This will go in the Rover Art/ardor brandy.
Morning everyone, starting off with my usual Lavazza coffee and Wessex Burley Slices in a 30’s Sasieni Four Dot Amesbury. I absolutely love this pipe, a gift from a good friend. 
Thank you. I enjoy being outside if it's decent weather.

@Birddog66 Are you feeling better? I hope so.
3:20am, early morning with Early Morning Pipe in a MM LFR.
The horses can’t wait for their mom to get home because I roust them out of their beds too early.

There is no 3:20 in the morning on my clock!
Off to work with 1-Q in the WDC briar claw on this cold morning.

Enjoying the last of my Peterson's Irish cask in my newly repaired Rattrays shop pipe.
This blend is becoming a firm favourite of mine and smokes exceptionally well in this humble little pipe.

Pipe Force V with added Rustica in an Eltang acorn snail. I want to smoke this but I also want to stay warm. 
I have larger plans to turn the carport into a heated smoking garage but have to stop the PAD long enough to pay for it.

Just a tip for you, prior to loading up I'd advice to leave tobacco air dry for about half an hour and pack it in on the lighter hand, this is beneficial with all Amphoras and St Bruno .,especially if you have gotten a fresh batch of aforementioned products.
