My smoking partner looks over my selection for this morning. Some SAB in a Peterson 2023 POTY. It’s a nice cool morning to enjoy some coffee and a pipe. 
New month, new pipe. Tracked down a new Bing’s favorite with the limited edition Miele stem. Breaking it in with a sample of Savannah, the house aromatic that the shop included with the purchase.
Haunted Bookshop in an "Irving S. Cobb" cob.
Aaah cooler weather is here at least for today. C&D Haunted Bookshop from 2018 in an IMP Meerschaum. 
September already? Last bowl of the Bayou Veermaster batches I've made up to date. In the Bones Poker with coffee. Good Morning!
Cobblestone Burley Plug in an Abe Herbaugh. First time with this blend, quite serviceable.
Absolutely! If you squeeze it gently the pipe gets sexually excited.
On a serious note there are several theories about the foot on the 'cutty' pipe. The one that makes the most sense is it is copying the foot that appeared on clay pipes which was designed so that the pipe could be held without burning your fingers since clays can get really hot. I have also been told that the foot on the older meerschaums was a type of primitive radiator to somehow cool the pipe down or in the alternate a way of holding the pipe without getting finger prints on the bowl. Take your pick of the explanations as any of them seem quite reasonable.

Some Rouxgaroux in a Irwin made in England 
I love my Bones poker. Something about it makes it one of my most smoked pipes lately.
The pipe that got me into all of this. Savinelli 321 and some Holland House.
Just finishing C&D White Burley in a MM Country Gentleman with a mug of black coffee.
My first English blend! So excited! Davidoff English Mixture in a MrBrog No.23 Knolle.
Cobblestone Burley Plug in a W pipe
That church in the background has an interesting history with the High Line seen behind it. An earlier iteration of the church had to be demolished because of the construction of the High Line.
Not far from finishing this bowl of early 2000s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
First bowl in a brand new Peterson Donegal Rocky Fishtail! Barbados Plantation 
Excited for the long weekend with some Capstan Blue in an Ali Spigot Billiard.
