Morning Smoke with Mike: fired up my Lubinski Olive Military Mount with Brigham English Mix, a barnburner if you like a stiff English. Its called Mr B's English up here, and is available at our local outlet. All fine by me, and I had a great smoke. A short but perhaps interesting Skippable Drivel below the picture.
Skippable Drivel: Correction - in my shambled mood and picture of my morning festivities, I accidentally put my Ashwood McQueen Russet in place of my cherrywood version. I did smoke my Cherrywood with the Sav 140 - but I put it back in the top drawer rather than on the deskrack where it should of gone. Sorry about that. All of my ash pipes are biased for Lats, so I'm glad that I double checked my post, because I would have had a miserable smoke if I had smoked the Sav 140 in a lat pipe.
I noticed, after I gave yesterday's Kewpie to a new thread follower, that his pipe very much resembled my Lubiniski. Prabably why it struck me as quite stunning. I did some research on the company this past while.
Founded in 1962 in Poland by Lubinski himself, it is a premium pipe company whose products are not really cheap. On average, 3 - 4x the price of Mr. Brogs. And much more traditional in their design for the most part.
I'm left wondering, at the price I paid for it (in the $45 Canadian range) that my pipe is a knockoff from the east. As a matter of fact, I'd bet money on it.
However, it smokes very well indeed, it has a most interesting piece of olivewood, and it is one of the easiest pipes I have to clean, matched only by my two Falcons. Just love Military Mounts! So, all's well. Maybe one day I'll get the real thing, but not today. I need another pipe like I need another hole in my head.

Hey thank you! It is rapidly becoming one of my favorite bent pipes, that little Pete is.I'm telling you, a little splash of cigar leafmakes the world go round ...
Add it to anything for a little zing in your step ...
Btw, love that sinuous Pete 338 you have ...
Dude you are right on the money with that statement regarding cigar leaf. I keep returning to that cordial/cigar leaf combo, especially in the clay.
Currently smoking my Ismail Baglan Old Man meer with some 4Noggins - Trout Stream.
Part way through this bowl of year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. This will get me to dinner time. Everybody ate, and went out. Norton the Nosey is snoozin' on the floor. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is snoozin' on m'lady's lap.

Earlier I smoked a Nub Connecticut torpodo while walking the dogs
Also, I was snooping around the pipedia page for Mark Domingues’ Lone Star Briar Works, and I found a picture of the very same seconds pipe he sold me at the Texas Pipe Show! I don’t know how long this pipe has been in his inventory, but I sure am happy it landed with me
