I was just reading his insta post on this pipe and wishing it was mine, congrats!2015 Mind Meld VA in my new J. Everett bent billiard. Accent is polished elk antler. Jason makes a great pipe, smokes like a dream from the first light.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm nearing the last third of this bowl of 2021 Watch City Simply Orange Virginia in a black sandblast medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 182/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Watching an episode of Mike Hammer. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Last bowl of a Canal Boat tin in a MM Country Gentleman.
It's a extremely smooth blend but not impressed me, probably because of the taste delivered by black Cavendish? I found myself hardly enjoy any Cavendish-include non-aro blends, including some highly praised blends like Pegasus, PS LBF etc.
I guess it's just how my taste buds work.

'23 CRF w/ Perique in a Savinelli Dolomiti 311KS.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Going to finish touching up pages on this Archie story in a minute or two.
Vintage Algerian briar colored with age and smoking, this Marksman Mel-O is still a pleasant smoke after 72 plus years of use.
Now smoking Wilke Surbrug’s Golden Sceptre in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Having Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding in a Briar, Sweat, and Tears (BST) Large Curve (LC) 3/4 Bent Billiard. I’ve always liked Genod Swan Neck pipes and the Dunhill LC. Dunhill LC pipes rarely turn up, but it occurred to me that a new one could be made! After drooling over @tfdickson ’s BST LC by Todd Bannard aka @sasquatch , it became clear to me that I preferred Todd’s fleshier, thicker curved rendition over the sort of anemic Dunhills. Fortunately, Todd had a big enough block on hand that had the Birdseye grain I requested. I asked Todd to try to get the biggest pipe out of the block (as I enjoy a long smoke)—essentially, he said he would try as long as it didn't compromise the form of the pipe. I’ve been traveling a bit, but finally have a chance to sit down and smoke this big ’un. The chamber is 2.75" deep; measuring from the front of the stummel to the end of the bit measures about 7.0". This is a pretty large pipe—see the Savinelli 320 KS Author for a sense of scale.
Thanks to @sasquatch for tackling this project and teasing the best out of that hunk of briar; thanks to Mrs. sasquatch for the King Kong sized furry pipe sock!

"West is Best"Was smoking some of P&C Scotty's 'Angler" while sitting between 2 rocks at Lake Tahoe. Set the Peterson Standard System 302 to my left (west) & took a pic, then set it to my right (east) and took another. Couldn't choose, so here are both!

Now smoking Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
What a beauty!
Peter Stokkebye LBF in a MM Dagner Poker.
Eventually, this will look like the reverse of a calcined pipe and have a white rim at top and the rest of the pipe dark brown. Fascinating to see how deep this has gotten.
Just finished smoking year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Now smoking Wilke No. 111 in a straight smooth medium brown 2016 Brigham Klondike 16 bulldog with a tapered black acrylic stem.
Morning smoke of Amphora Burley in a Dunhill Shell 31 09 short Canadian
Finished that story, and am half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend.
