Steamworks in my Shell-Meer Peterson. This is a great combo!!
Telegraph Hill in a Morgason Billiard.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am nearing the half way mark of this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Relaxing with an evening bowl of 2020 Sansepolcro, courtesy @B.Fee, in an HS Studio pencil shanked bamboo billiard. Good stuff! 
Can’t sleep so smoking that celebratory Satou while waiting on a new to me Satou. 
Guess what blend? I’ll get back to some variety over the weekend. TFGIF in a half hour!

University Flake in a Peterson Rosslare 120, purchased in the Nassau St shop on my honeymoon in Dublin! (For such a sentimental pipe, the poor bastard could really use more band cleanings… 
)

Well, first day of post break in fast started today. Not suffering in the least. Lotsa good cheap cigars in my drawer, and I still have a pair of Swishers, Colts (hidden behind the jar of "chew", and which I used today while teaching a couple of violin and piano students. They didn't notice. I'll have that Phillie's Blunt Berry to end the shebang on Saturday night. Looks like it picked up a few stray tobaco bits . . . . didn't notice that until now. Ain't gonna retake the pic, either.
Started the day with a couple of little Captain Blacks and Smokin' Joes. and will do the same tomorrow and Saturday. Like, I'm suffering lol! Looking forward though, to lighting up a bowl of Black Frigate in the Ropp Sunday afternoon. See U then! but wiill check in and see what's going on, In the mean time, enjoying getting a lip and tongue rest. Lips were chapped from a nose drizzle caused by allergies, which I get in the fall. Mushroom spores, I think. Every year. Hmmmmm . . . too much information methinks but i'm not going to edit, either.
Don't forget that tomorrow is World Opera Day. I'm going to celebrate by watching Carmen! 4 hours of bliss!
Cheers!

Steamworks is one of the great tobaccos I've tasted. Have to be careful with it, only have two tins and can't get any more. I smoke mine in a great little McQueen miniature for a short but excellent 20 minute smoke. Have to guard those rare treasures and stretch their life out any way you can, eh? Great looking pipe, too! Great combo indeed!
Great pipe, taking on some fantastic color!
Stunning pipe!
2018 Capstan Blue Flake in an Altinay.
I’ll second the compliment on that Triumph! If I ever get another bike, it’d be a Bonneville Bobber.
Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a medium bend black sandblasted 1925 Dunhill double patent “Shell” 56/10 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
First bowl of the day is Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69.
Now smoking year 2012 Dan Tobacco Treasures of Ireland: Limerick in a 2021 medium bend black sandblasted Peterson Newgrange 80S bent bulldog silver spigot with a tapered reddish brown, black striped acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
The Son of the Eldritch Beast.
Now smoking Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a smooth medium bend terracotta Peterson POY 2023 X160 464/1100 military mount egg with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Daisy the Feral Princess is snoozin' by my feet. Tomato the Brave is snoozin' and snorin' in m'lady's chair.
About to start my daily shift behind the wheel but prior to that having my early morning pipe, Amphora Regular Brown in a Dunhill Shell 3109 Short Canadian
Tonight was a MM cob stuffed with KBV Haunted Viriginia.
Good tasting blend with the sweet, yeasty breadiness one expects from a good virginia.
As the bowl comes together it trades some sweetness for a bit of earth and leather with a very slight citrus undertone.
Be warned that there is a mid-tongue spiciness throughout the bowl that can bite if one isn't careful. So go slow and sip it.
I think a bit of age will go nicely on this blend.
