Nearly finished the first week of Stoptober and just been to Buxton Crescent for an overnight stay:
Really enjoyed it especially the rooftop swimming pool but Buxton doesn't seem to get the weather for it as it's usually cold & wet; I was lucky weather wise:)
Just my luck during Stoptober to find a local tobacconist's shop in Buxton that sells a good range of pipes (including clays - I bought 2 new ones that look like Markus Fohr pipes; a shame to smoke them)!
They also carried a range of meers including a skull shaped one that made me think of @chasingembers:)
The only way of keeping clay pipes clean is not to smoke them:)

Finishing up from last night, Semois thick cut in a MM/Dagner nose-warmer poker. The pipe though compact has a good capacious chamber for this blend, so it burned for a while. It's a Belgium burley variant, one of my favorites.

Just finished smoking circa year 2000 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Between the chance of rain and the baseball playoffs, this will be the only chance I'll get walking reps in today, with a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.

A third of the way through this bowl of Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a straight smooth brown 1920s-30s Sasieni patent 8 dot Marborough lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching Mad Dog Russo. Just posted five reviews at TR, including Warped: Scarecrow.
