Good on you - been wanting to do better with this type of thing as well. Thanks for the inspiration.

Kristiansen Bulldog with 88s - a Virginia/Oriental forward mix of my own with just a hint of cherry.
@Danimal92sport Thanks for the kind words; I'm glad to have inspired you! Maybe start with loose pipe baccy if you have a local tobacconist that sells loose blends. I'm saving pipe baccy packets for refilling & been buying my toiletries, cleaning & dry foods in bulk from my local zero waste store. I'm very pleased with my waste reduction efforts!
Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
Louisiana Broken in a Karl Erik Handmade. 
Decided to kick back and actually have a nice long smoke after tending to the animals. Hopefully some debris clouds will roll in before I get to work.
Samuel Gawith 2020 Kendal Plug mixed with some very fresh StJames Flake in a seventies unknown artisan pickaxe.
If anyone recognizes the maker, I’d love to know. The only other I’ve seen was sold by Blue Room some time back, and Scott’s best info was it may be from a group of Arizona artisans that was active in the 60’s and 70’s.

(Yesterday at my sister wedding reception. The pipes were a great conversation starter.)
Morning after though, whew! Haven't drank that much in a LONG time.
'11 FVF in the Mitakadis bent strawberry wood.

OJK in a Lane era Charatan 652 DC.
Bloody Mary time. I am preparing myself for my niece 's Wedding this coming Saturday.
Don’t you just love that old Danish freehand style? I know I do.
I do, and my father loved them. Unfortunately the style doesn’t fit my smoking habits, but someday I’ll retire and those may change.
The Sven Lar in my avatar is simply amazing, but hugely impractical right now.
These come out when time/weather allows and I can just kick back and reflect on good times with my dad. They always lead to me calling him, which is a good thing as he’s 94 and I don’t know how long that’ll be an option.
KBV 2023 Jim's Special Flake in a Marxman Jumbo C.
Smoked some Sutliff Black Spice this fine September Sunday
Chenet’s cake in the first Manduela I bought.
A Falcon with Red Rapparee again. It works well for me as a pleasant, low-drama, quick smoke, which is about all I have time for lately.
A little royal yacht and iced coffee today.
Anthology 2022 in a 2022 Savinelli St Nicholas 673KS.
HU Director's Cut in a Fatih freehand for the lazy 2nd bowl this morning.
2019 Director’s Cut. You won’t see me smoking too many Virginia blends here, but sometimes I want something sweet. I had no idea that I would enjoy this as much as I do. I’ve heard that the blend from back 10 years before was even better, which is crazy. This is stellar stuff.
