Escudo in a 40’s-50’s era Merchant Service “Special” with Ice water and lime on the side.
Thanks!
It was made in the Bellezia tobbacco shop in NY. They did/do custom pipes and tobacco blends for local customers. This was the 53rd pipe made in 2007, judging from the stamp.
Here ya be:
Made a point of wrapping up my end of the day/week chores around the ranch on the early side, so as to wash the day off me and be able to properly enjoy a bowl of Ashton Winding Road in a Savinelli Mattone 614 faux-Hungarian. 9/10. Turkey chili on the docket for tonight; hoping my long soak-drain-long cook strategy with the beans will avert any major flatulence. Since I'm in Southern California, most of you fine folks are downwind of me, so my apologies if my efforts fall flat...ulent. 
Bird report: House finch, California towhee, White-breasted nuthatch, California scrub-jay, California quail, Steller's jay, American crow, Oak titmouse, Mountain chickadee, Mourning dove, Hairy woodpecker, Dark-eyed junco, White-crowned sparrow, Northern flicker, and Spotted towhee. Pleased that more of the cold weather birds are returning so early.
Hope everyone has a nice relaxing weekend, and my best wishes to our gulf coast contingent here.

Thank you,I always thought MS are always smooth..
I enjoy them as they make for a lazy and laid back pipe on the porch.
The wind today has fought with me all day making me work at the lazy aspect a little
They had blast all the way from the go as well. I’d love to find a smooth someday.

2019 Louisiana Broken in my Castello bent bulldog.
PS LBF in a Peterson Donegal Rocky 69. I rubbed out a big pile of it last night so I figure I will smoke until it is gone.
Thank youInteresting stems on those! Did you get the gun shell tamper, too? Hope you had a great smoke.
3rd bowl for me this morning, after breakfast of eggs/sausage. Sixpence in a Celebi meer.

This one sure does smoke great. I have all the things, too- shotshell tamper, Woodcock artwork, sock, and presentation tube that is positively stained from the cigar lounge air from whence it came
Smoking 2020 Fillmore again this evening
The stem pretty much reads as an interesting striped solid
But turn up the flash and macro and it gets sparkly. I've seen one other Nording use this acrylic
Chenet’s cake in a Satou, fell asleep after dinner by accident so it might be a late one,
But I wanna be Blondie….Ruh-roh, the pipe etiquette police are gonna get after me!
Fifth smoke today (Irish Flake again) in the Ropp J11P, and even worse I’ve only used two pipe cleaners
Court Room, Dodge City KS (late 1800's) --- Sobrbiker stands accused of 2 major offenses:
1) Briar pipes should only be smoked once per day, then left for minimum of 24 hours to rest.
2) Per those who dedicate each pipe to 1 blend, smoking different blends is an offense unimaginable, ie, QUES's, How do you even know the flavor of what you're smoking? The pipe is completely confused!
Court (of those offended) finds that Sobrbiker, plus Sandblast, plus BenMN, plus others who stand in unison with Sobrbiker ... guilty of these offenses, and all now sentenced to be hanged at dawn, per the Pipe Purists.
NOTE: See "Good, Bad, Ugly" how Blondie (Clint) saved Tuco, with excellent shot, from hanging. Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef) calmly smoked his pipe throughout various scenes. Justice prevailed ... Hmm, but never found out what tobacco Lee preferred.
Exclusive in a Peterson Irish Harp Lovat.
Thx, I’ll be breezing through for her wedding in a couple weeks, but probably won’t have much free time. I’m sure I’ll be back for an actual visit one of these days though.
Nice! This post appeals to the pipe smoker, beer drinker, and radio geek in me, all at once. Nice to see 220 is used somewhere, not much activity here in the Northeast.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2010 Amphora Original (Brown) in a full bend barley sandblast Peterson 125th Anniversary 1898-2023 No. 172/330 302 brandy military mount with a silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip saddle stem.
Thank ya! Enjoying the weather while I can. Background will be as white as the pipe in another month lolSweet looking IMP !
Not too shabby background either
