Passing the half way mark of this bowl of 2017 Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard with a tapered black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Today's treat was Hyde Park in my mystery bent billiard.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking Watch City SEPC 2023 in a small slight bend black sandblast 2000 D.R. Ardor Urano Ninfea author with a silver spigot military bit and a tapered black acrylic stem. This is a private blend for my Sunday zoomers.
Robert McConnell Rich Dark Virginia in my Le Roi bent billiard.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a year 2021 straight black sandblasted Peterson Ragaire 150 bulldog with a unmounted army mount tapered acrylic cumberland fish tail stem.
Last smoke of the day is year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1970’s smooth Savinelli Non Pareil 9574 Hungarian with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in a long time, so I'm giving it some work. Reading while this bowl lasts.

I find that pipe club meetings except from absolute and pure f u n are also a great opportunity (through samples exchange) to taste tobaccos you have never tried before or perhaps never heard of and also, in some special occasions, taste a tobacco that doesn't exist anymore, perhaps for many years, usually a gift from an older, experienced member, out from a tin that is considered "collector's item".
I try to go to most of my club meetings. During the last one I've been, one of the oldest members, Elias, was giving to the others a tobacco he purchased but finally didn't like because it was "too aromatic" for him. He wasn't sure if it was Samuel Gawith Special Flake no 5 or no 7. I took some and I am smoking it now. I like it. A lot. Reminds me a bit of the glorious Condor but it ain't Condor of course.
I am smoking it in "the Last of the Falcons", the last pipe in the Falcon phase of my rotation. Next phase is Corn Cobs phase and I estimate that -if all is well- a new Falcon phase will come again in about 2 months. The stem (a black one) is brand new, I wanted it for a long time and smoke it for the first time. Also the coffee mug is new, gifted to me by my Lady, first time I use it.
I wish you a very nice weekend good people!

Amphora Original in a 1930’s Linkman’s Dr.Grabow.
That's a hyuuuuuuge bowl on that falcon. Who makes it? I've been meaning to do more work on my Cholula bowl for my falcon, but I've got all sorts of things to finish.
Finishing off this pouch of Amphora in the fraternal twin of the Linkman’s Dr. Grabow I smoked earlier.
in my MM cob.
I think (not sure) it's called "Hyperbole": https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/falcon/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=384803
