Morning everyone starting off the day with Party Line in a Kaywoodie #51 large billiard from a seven day matched grain set.

Three Sails; finally got around to trying it in a pipe as opposed to rolling it. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever smoked a shag in a pipe. Nice light morning smoke.
No stories today; I'm running late and those dang chickens ain't gonna milk themselves.

Virginia Gentleman in a MM Country Gentleman.
Finishing yesterday evening with WCC off the rails in a Remington.
Amphora Original in an Altinay.
Steamworks in a Rossi Piccolo. First smoke in almost a week. Another round of viruses made its way through the household.

C&D Exclusive in an Ashton Old Church Stack and Cuban Coffee.
LJ Peretti's D-9507 in a basket straight billiard
Dark Bird's Eye in a MM Night Rider this morning. 
Over slept so smaller bowl before work. ODF in a Satou.
I think it would! I like this vintage cut better than the shag (it's still a pretty thin ribbon), but they're both great.
GLP Montgomery from a Mark Tinsky sandblast 
Esoterica Ramsgate ( I think I bought it 2011/12) in a MM General.
Briar Fox in one of the Marxman Jumbos
Thanks. It's a little bigger than my usual preference, but I sure love smoking this particular pipe.

Just finished cleaning up my latest addition, a London made Kaywoodie Straight Grain Dublin #13. By many accounts Comoy’s made K’s for the London store but I can’t see them doing an entire line with the synchro stem and unfortunately so little is known about UK made K’s that it’s hard to know for sure. I’ll post a thread later in the hope someone on here can help with this.
Anyway I was the only bidder and snapped it up for £9 ($11), it’s cleaned up nicely with just the hint of a ghost in there but from age not tobacco, you know that musty funk if you’re an estate buyer. I’m having some MacB Vanilla Rolls in it atm to try and smoke it out but I think it’ll need a bourbon bath and salt to cleanse it properly. That said I couldn’t be happier with it.

@bluegrassbrian I enjoyed the Full Virginia Flake in my clay pipes; Appleyard's in Buxton sells it loose. Got 20g of Coniston Cut Plug & a sample pack of Bob's Flake last time I went there, another plastic free day as I got some washing up liquid refills & filled my water bottles at the Pump Room drinking fountain. Not much single use with me!
