Interesting to think that the original pipes smoked in the UK - before clay pipes were produced from circa 1555 - were hollowed out acorns with reed stems . . . a homage to this early pipe seen in clays particularly in the Victorian era:-

Esoterica Tilbury in a smooth Ryan Alden Billiard
Enjoying some 2020 Rustica in a lattice globe meer.
Strong, but not nearly the nic-bomb it’s purported to be. Smoke it carefully for a nice change of pace.

SG Commonwealth in a Peterson Atlantic 
Astley’s 44 in my Castello diamond shank bent billiard.
Gorgeous pipe!
Just finished smoking the last of this sample of year 1997 McClelland Christmas Cheer in a 1980 Stanwell 668 medium bend with a multi-colored ferrule, half black sandblasted, half brown smooth, rough top with a black vulcanite stem.
Now smoking KBV Your Welcome in a straight smooth dark brown 1930s (Comoy’s) Canadian Club 230 eight paneled billiard with a black tapered vulcanite stem. This relatively short smoke should get me to dinner time.
Thank you! It just arrived yesterday, we are still getting to know each other. Getting along just fine though!
Earlier today during a work call, had a bowl of LA’s Tobacco Traders Bright Virginia — a late summer send off — in a sandblast Viking Dublin. The call switched 5 minutes in to a Zoom and I had to tell people I wasn’t Zoom ready so I kept my camera off.
Plum Pudding in an AKB meer Rhodesian on the porch. It's 55 degrees out, let Latakia season begin!
Gawith Hoggarth and Company Best Brown #2 in a Falcon with Meerschaum Bowl
Enjoying a rare bowl of Lane BCA, Hazelnut and something Chocolate thrown in, in a Talamona Bent Billiard.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, French cut pork chops, mushrooms, and green beans dinner with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream for dessert. I've about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2013 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DRA 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Now smoking Bayou Morning in a Savinelli Octavia and drinking 
a Buffalo Trace Manhattan.
a Buffalo Trace Manhattan.
More Nightcap in a Rattray's Devil's Cut....can't sleep urrggh.
