Capstan Blue in a Howell Bulldog.

Been an odd day. In keeping with the theme I've got some cube cut Full Virginia Plug mixed with Motzek Sträng in the 1916 BBB.

 

[Terry Lennox]

Once again Solani 633 in a Stanwell second (Royal Danish) billiard.

 

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken and green beans dinner with a scoop of chocolate chip mint ice cream for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DRA 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-Dodgers game.

Diebel’s Oriental Mixture in a GBD Panel-Yacht 76er

 

[Tar Wheel]

I’m finishing a bowl of Wessex Campaign Dark Flake in a Mark Twain and sipping Rare Breed bourbon. A day of college football and visiting with neighbors. It’s cooled down to 55f and I‘m heading inside to warm up. Cheers!

GH&Co Scotch Mixture in a Savinelli 111KS Roma.

Superb dinner of yellowtail snapper lightly crusted with pistachio, mango and pepper garnish and a house sauce with scalloped potatoes and Cole slaw. Smoking a bowl of CVP in a Cermak. This little pipe is a flake smoking monster.

Haven’t posted in this thread in quite a while, mostly because my smoking has been sporadic lately due to a cross-country move.

Made it to Cincinnati. New job is going well. Still looking for the right house so we’re in an Airbnb in Madisonville.

Currently enjoying some GL Pease Sixpence in a Castello Natural Vergin Lovat. And since it’s much more widely available in my new hometown, enjoying a pour of Weller Special Reserve as well.

 

[Mdutson]

Hyde Park for dessert.

Peterson Royal Yacht in a MM straight hardwood/maple, which looks to me a little like Danish modern furniture. It comes as a filter pipe, but I like it without the filter, nice open draw. Some day I'll smoke my remaining tin of Dunhill branded Royal Yacht, though they are made by the same people, just different brands. The Dunhill should be fully aged by then. This little hardwood pipe is a good little cooker, if you need something light and portable. Musicman, I'm sure you've tried the Skyline Chili franchise in Cincinnati, maybe five-way with "the works." Across the bridge in Covington, there's a clock tower that plays out the Pied Piper story with mechanical figures. There used to be a puppet theater nearby; I don't know if it is still there.

First smoke of my afternoon is John Patton's Storm Front in my Savinelli Miele straight billiard.

 

[JimInks]

Have about a third of a bowl left of Motzek (TAK ) Tom’s Special Plug in a slight bent black sandblasted post-1940 KBB Yello-Bole Cured With Real Honey Imported Briar with a reg. mark in a circle canted egg with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

 

[Sanzini]

A stroke smoke deserves a strong beer.

 

[cshubhra]

Ken Byron Ventures Live Wire in a Mike Couch Devil Anse

 

[MidnightPuff]

C&D Big & Burley in a Mark Twain.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have about a third of a bowl left of Watch City Mr.B’s in a straight smooth dark brown 1933-40 Medico Frank patent 1967585 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Working and listening to a Beatles documentary on the XM.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

2010 HOTW in a Northern Briar.

 

[OzPiper]

1st weekend out of a 3months+ Covid lockdown in Sydney, Oz.
Finally able to catch up with family for lunch, and feeling rather replete now

A bowl of Erinmore Flake in an Ivarsson-designed Stanwell 02 egg

 

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking Low Country Pipe & Cigar Natural Virginia & Burley in a 2020 straight black sandblasted Merchant Service “Bing” Standard with a nickel band and black vulcanite tapered stem.
