A matter of personal appeal... Given a choice, I'll take Deluxe system over Standard, but then I have plenty of each so go figure...

Enjoying a nice bowl of Nightcap in a Savinelli Elganza 320 KS after a very productive day of installing a 30 amp service at the house to plug the RV into and smoking some nice rainbow trout to feed my helpers!
Enjoy your evening and your pipes my friends!

Esoterica Dunbar in a Monte Verdi Twin Finnish by Preben Holm.
Now smoking year 2014 HU Sunset in a straight 1924 Dunhill’s “Shell Briar” patent pot 7 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
PS Nougat, as I dive into the aromatics world after a long time. In the dedicated Briar Works from recent photos. I don't need to talk through the differences, but I'd say those tobaccos have their time and place. They won't be a go to, but as an occasional change from the norm, it was nice. Lighter, and of course sweeter. And used my new Zippo for the first time after grabbing some fluid for it this weekend.
Good afternoon everyone! I'm enjoying some Mac Baren ODF in a basket pipe. Happy piping! 
D&R Two Timer, a twice toasted blend of burleys, in a Iwan Ries house pipe sourced from Edwards/Benton, a Group 5 straight tapered billiard, Algerian oil-cured briar in a smooth finish. This was one of the earlier pipes I bought and is probably about 35 plus years old. Since then, IR has sourced house pipes from Savinelli and now Genod, and perhaps others along the way. I have similar IR house pipes in a Canadian shape and a pocket pipe Oom-Paul that is also a good smoker. In my opinion, house pipes are usually high quality at their price, since pipe shops are usually trying to win over people to pipe smoking and want it to be a good experience. That is certainly true of an old outfit like IR.
After knocking @charf for 6, I decided I better have another bowl of the burley plug. Only game enough for a small clay, half way through and already feeling it. 
Now smoking Evening Flake in my AKB Meer.
