D&R Ryback in a homemade cob with corn root shank.
2006 Samuel Gawith Best Brown Flake in a 1966 Dunhill LB Billiard
Sutliff Field and Stream match mixed with Peterson Irish Flake, in a MM and C&D special edition collaboration nose burner with a tomato red acrylic stem. Sometime you just have to smoke a cob.
Sunday morning bowl of Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged in the Hercules. 
I’m afraid to learn to post pictures of my pipes and tobacco on this thread. My wife is suspicious of pipe porn already. All this talk of ”graceful lines”, “beautiful shapes”, “smooth ebony shank” has gotten her nervous.
“What are you smoking, Jake from State Farm?”

2007 Esoterica Stonehaven in a Jack Howell Billiard.
Smoking Low Country Natural Virginia/Oriental, just came in the mail ...should've bought a pound as cheap as it is, great smoke! Initial impression takes me somewhere between a mellower C&D Yorktown and Sutliff 515 RC-1
McCranie's Red Ribbon in a Mark Twain from the 2010 Collectors set
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am now smoking the last of this sample of Peter Heinrichs Curly Block in a smooth, medium brown early Radice full bend crossgrain/bird's eye 2 dot Clear with a black acrylic tapered stem. I should smoke this pipe more often than I do. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink on this cold, rainy day. Getting ready to do my weekly Zoom meeting.
Just got back from a week-long camping/hiking trip in a remote part of southern Utah. We found a campsite on the rim overlooking Natural Bridges National Monument, with views all the way down to Monument Valley and Navajo Mountain, and over to the Kaiparowits Plateau, with countless canyons and a few mountain ranges in between. I brought:
Sam Gawith SJF
C and D XX Flake
GL Pease Sextant
KBV Sakura
and enjoyed them in:
Mastro de Paja Classica bent billiard
OMS Cherrywood Poker
Sasieni two dot bent apple
Bones hangin' brandy
It was a most excellent week, made even better by the nightly routine of dinner, then a smoke while my wife and I read and enjoyed the peaceful silence of a very special part of the world.

There’s an old saying around here: “Pictures, or it didn’t happen!” Got any pics? ?
