After years of looking, I've found that I like the look of Tekin's Lion pipes as compared to other carvers. I was fortunate to come across this one. I still think it's one of the best lion meers I've seen.

Peterson Pub Pipe filled with Mark Twain blend 
Earlier I smoker Daughters & Ryan Three Sails in a Balandis sandblasted billiard
Dunbar in a
straight Bent. I stood up to take the picture just for a change in perspective and background; I hope the effort is appreciated. I'm going to sit back down now.

Did a set of walking reps under cloudy skies, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Lunch is next!
Almost looks like it has a young tree growing out of it.

I took the trouble to stand up and you mock my photographic and compositional skills?! Which are non-existent?!! My outrage is exceeded only by the shine on my shoes.

Good day all! Started with KBV Raven Eye Flake in a small Upshall sandblast Dublin with smooth rim and eighth-bent tapered stem size 3-4. Mid-afternoon returned for another bowl of Wilke Vermont Maple Cav in the large Vermont Nachwalter Canted Dublin.
About to launch into MM 965 in a Dunhill Root Briar. Cheers!
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am off to the studio with a bowl of Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite. Going to do a little work before the Braves-Phillies game. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Dark Bird's Eye Vintage Cut in a Savinelli Trevi #311 KS Poker with a glass of iced tea.
23’ Carolina Red with Perique in a Premier Northern Briars 4 billiard.
Maybe the best smoking pipe in my collection. Even over my Ser Jacopo’s. It’s draw is noticeably smoother, it’s bite and lip are perfectly shaped and proportioned to my liking. And I can say this tobacco smokes better in this pipe than the others I’ve tried. Really enjoying this session.
