Kramer’s Father Dempsey in a 1936 Manshire Royal Root Briar with silver band. Still need to finish the stem on this one. If you fine folks have any more info on this pipe I’d love to hear it.

Good day all! Great to be back on the forum after two and half weeks of Covid. On day three, lost ALL taste and smell. This worked out well because after a week I coud sit up long enough to smoke. So I starting working through old tobaccos I didn't like but hadn't gotten around to dumping. The last week and a half I've been chuffing away with old beater pipes happily not tasting or smelling a thing. Note the pleasant pipe buzz is VERY therapeutic. I did not report to the forum specific blends etc., but I will share that I must have smoked a pound of Lane tobaccos. Late yesterday my taste and smell returned so I today I'm eagerly back to the standard routine: starting with GH Brown Flake Aromatic in a dedicated wee Tilshead smooth Dublin with canted rim and flattened shank with matching eighth-bent tapered stem size 3. Tastes great!

Now that’s how ya take a bad situation and use it to your advantage!

Enjoying Stokkebye Champagne in the estate Meer while dodging acorns (somewhat unsuccessfully) on the patio. Another warmer than normal autumn day in CT. Cheers!

A morning smoke in the MM Cob- MB London Blend Nov 20 and strong black coffee. Wonderful pairing. I haven’t smoked this blend in a while and forgot how wonderful it is with coffee.

@AreBee Down here in NJ our acorns came down about 4 weeks ago and were abundant this year. Extremely dry here, no rain in over 20 days. Doing yard work all morning and a quick pipe in a cob with some home mix. Will clean up a bit, have lunch and then send up some smoke signals asking for a rain dance.

Gambler Regular (aka the one in the red bag) in my beater cob, a Missouri Meerschaum Legend. Pretty sure there was grass here just yesterday....

First Success. Briar Falcon bowl in my Falcon International successfully broken in. Had an excellent 45 minute smoke with my favourite codger blend, Smoker's Pride Whiskey Tobacco. The bowl, pipe and tobacco work so well together I think I'll leave them as a unit and put them in a regular rotation. I've found cured tobaccos burn faster than cavendish or English blends, but for the most part, this bowl included, I didn't fill it quite full, only about 3/4 capacity. This pipe combo now goes into regular rotation. By far the easiest and most pleasant break-in I've ever had.
