Peterson Irish Flake in my Le Roi bent billiard.

 

[JimInks]

Near the last quarter of this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Give Me Liberty in a straight smooth medium brown pre-1920 straight Marechal Ruchon & Cie. Royale apple with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.


Feral drama forced us to let Abner the Eager in the house to eat so he wouldn't get bullied out of his food. We took the opportunity take a couple of pics with the li'l boy.

2015 Doblone d’Oro in my J Everett bent billiard.

I love this pipe, reminds me of Micheal Parks.

C&D Exclusive in an Abe Herbaugh “Micke” tribute, asymmetrical bent egg with horn.

Pirate Kake. I guess there is such a thing as too much Latakia for me. It’s not bad, just too one dimensional.

Great pic with the monitor, I have a similar one from 11 years ago:

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy medium bend 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Smokes as well as a first and worth the $19.95 I paid for it all those years ago. Watching one of the older Gene Autry Westerns.

Chelsea Morning in a MM Country Gentleman.

 

[PipeIT]

Wessex Campaign Dark Flake in a Radice Clear Bent Dublin with Baldo Baldi briar aged over 20 years.

Be well everyone!



P.S. Still a long way from break-in, maybe only the 10th-12th bowl, and no I haven’t charred the rim, don’t want to, and I’m nervous at times, trying to be so careful not to LOL

Exclusive is gonna be my next VaPer purchase, I haven't tried that one yet.

 

[rsshreck32]

Bayou Night in a Rossi Piccolo to close it down tonight. Just finished "Because of Winn Dixie" with the family, classic!

 

[Ben.R.C]

Exclusive is gonna be my next VaPer purchase, I haven't tried that one yet.

Hidden gem, I heard about it on Pipe Mag podcast from Rick Newcombe. It’s spicy in a good way and quite high nicotine content compared to most current production Vapers. The tins are on sale right now at SPC, 20 percent off. It’s nice that it is usually available in bulk as well.

Now smoking year 2020 Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake in a straight smooth brown 1933-1945 Comoy’s patent Grand Slam 159 *4 apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

ODF in a Radice Billiard

 

[The Amish Tyrant]

Gawith's Black Irish X in a basket billiard while listening to horror stories in the thread by @shanez (nicely done yet again, by the way).

Some say this rope tastes like burning tires, others like barbecue meats. Me, I get the flavor of a grill heating up (and this is not a bad thing). In other words, it has a mellow, smokey flavor with a thickness similar to Latakia, but sweeter (and without the Latakia taste notes).

Signing out with some EGR blend, in a Pete Donegal Rock, one finger of scotch will end my day.

Continuing with the Peterson theme this weekend

My 2 sister-in-laws (Irish-Scottish) are visiting and staying the weekend.
So firstly onto a bowl of MacBaren’s Scottish Mixture
