Now smoking Wilke No. 515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was the original 515 that Basil Rathbone smoked.

Bayou Morning x Peterson Dracula bulldog

I need a new phone. My pictures are crap.
Close to finishing 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. Spent too much time dealing with the ferals. Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave chased Sam the Scamp down the driveway and across the street. They have obviously decided that Sam and Abner the Eager invade their territory too much for their liking. They weren't that way so much until the last few nights. While they were chasing Sam, Shy Stripesy ran out from under the deck, ate and ran away as quickly as possible. I left food out in case Sam gets another chance to come back and eat.
A third of a bowl left of Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. This'll end my smoking day.
2015 Salty Dogs before bed in a pipe gifted to me by Bruce Weaver several years ago. A sandblasted dublin with a cumberland stem and hippopotamus tooth shank accent.
Morning everyone, starting off with Pelican in a Kaywoodie long Dublin #17 from a matched grain set. Decided to try a different coffee and brought some Columbian sun dried Quinchia but it has been ground for a cafetière (French press) and I had to re-grind it for the espresso maker. I’ll just stick with Lavazza in future, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. 
What's the make on that lighter?
Brown Sugar Flake in an old Stanwell
Looking through the site while enjoying the coffee and tobacco (breakfast of champions) I came upon this response in a thread where a relatively new smoker was looking for input on American pipes:
"As far as artisan pipe making goes, it has to be said, the Americans are turning out the best stuff. It's actually a no contest between them and everyone else"
...and I thought, "Bingo, we have a winner! Dumbest thing I've read today!"
Don't misunderstand, nothing at all against American pipe makers; if you substituted any other noun for "artisan pipe" and any other nationality for "American" the statement would be just as dumb.
Or maybe not...maybe I'm just too indecisive and wishy-washy when it comes to expressing my opinions on inherently subjective matters. Maybe I need a little more confidence in my convictions. Maybe I need to have some convictions.
And I decided right then and there to be a new man...a direct man...a bold man! So no time like the present, what? Here goes:
The rutabaga is the finest vegetable ever grown and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is simply incorrect.
Wow! That was so...liberating! No unnecessary regard for reality, for logic... just let fly and sling it!!
It feels like the start of a whole 'nother way to live; I'm very excited

There's a smooth in the same size and shape on the smokingpipes website.
Yup, that's them. I still listen to their stuff on a regular basis.
Bayou Morning in a Tekin Meer.
Bayou Morning in the Sterncrest. Epiphany is the smoke for the work day. Hopefully I'll get some good ideas
