Today, I popped a new tin of SG FVF - dried out a flake and loaded it into the Roma 707. Chasing it down with a rye Manhattan - a good way to end the weekend.

Now smoking D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank lumberman Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Going to work now.
I smoked some I got from @marconi in my clay!
10 year old Haddos from a freshly popped tin in the lattice billiard meerschaum with a red swirl stem. Funky stuff!
Peretti Tashkent in a Ashton XXX brindle pot.
I thought 10 year Haddos tasted like a Hawaiian Tropic experiment gone horrible wrong. Like cadaver #9
D&R Windsail mixed with 1970s Prince Albert in today's pipe, a Medico VFQ straight bulldog. Very pleasant smoke. McDonald's coffee double double to with a drop of rye to drink.
Just finished smoking year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Taking a very short work break to feed Suzy and Molly. I know they're hungry when they meow above the third octave.
Now smoking Esoterica Woodbridge in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth octagonal paneled billiard meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem.
About to spark up some Dr. Silence in a Scandia.
Three year old LBF in a Danmore.
Did a little snacking, and am close to being half way through this bowl of Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a 1982 smooth straight Dunhill Root Briar 31051 Dublin with a black vulcanite tapered stem.
Mmm they are indeed!
Thankfully it's not too windy here on Wenlock Edge today..
.. Let's me enjoy some FVP in my cob..
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am having my last smoke of the day: Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2019 black rusticated Peterson 312 full bend billiard with a military mount and a nickel band with a cumberland 4AB stem and a N.A.P. bit. Reading while this bowl lasts.
Bien, si tienes acceso también al S.G. St James Flake, aleluya !!
First in morning Mac Baren Golden Extra in Big Ben Senator
Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in my Savinelli 311 poker:
A bit more info on the maker of your beautiful pipe:-
"Charles Leopold Maas was active in London from 1883 at 13 Jewin Crescent, EC as manufacturer and importer of smokers' pipes of various types, including "recherché" and "meerschaum".
The firm entered various silver hallmarks as pipes were often silver-mounted as were manufactured in precious metal many smokers' accessories and walking sticks.
In 1890 (London) and 1910 (Chester) Charles Maas entered a conjoined hallmark with Marcus Maas (manager).
In 1910 the firm removed to 1A Aldermanbury Avenue. Interesting to note that from 1891 the firm used a hallmark "CM surmounted by a crown" to characterize its "Unsurpassed quality Corona Mounts."
