Capstan blue in a Stanwell billiard.
This pipe I got a couple of years ago as an unsmoked estate pipe.
It was an unused championship pipe for the Danish pipesmoking championship 1995.

Morning on the hotel patio with a bowl of my VaPer accompanied by my wife and several cups of good coffee. Beautiful day so far!

Happy September to you all!!!

With a brisk, but appreciated, 57 degrees here in middle Tennessee, it seemed appropriate to toss a saddle on one of my TWH's and take a ride. Since Whip got a shampoo and grooming yesterday by my wife, I chose him and we enjoyed the early morning together.

Then, I came back in and had some Country Squire's "Cowboy Coffee" in my Charatan's Executive apple while one of the cats, Dino, reclined on the front porch and ended up playing with one of the dogs. Quite a sight to see......

I had my last cup of coffee (Peet's "Major Dickason's) neat and bold was in attendance.

Enjoy the day, all.

thats awesome. I bet that was a good time. I had an old girlfriend who was into horses, she tried to teach me to ride but I just wasn't cut out for it. Riding a horse is harder than people think. But I can see where enjoying a pipe in that atmosphere would be very satisfying.

OJK in an Emperor Classic. Probably a late 40s pipe.

After reading about “rugby” style COM stamps on PPN, I just this morning looked at my English Peterson 363, and woohoo-that’s what it’s got.
Enjoying it with some Ryback+P pondering restoration being just cleaning enough to smoke…

WCC American Cut Plug Mixture with a pinch of KBV Noble Aztec in a Savinelli poker

@Sobrbiker where’d you read this about rugby style stamping?
Also interesting notion, that restoration acceptance threshold. I hadn’t thought about that as a variable scale as much before, but the reasons why one would adjust their position along that scale are interesting to ponder.

Congratulations, Paul on scoring the box seats. That should be a treat for sure for a baseball fan such as yourself. Too bad @JimInks can't go with you as I am sure between the two of you, a way would be found to have a bowl of fine tobacco.
Oh, and good luck on navigating the traffic given the Redskins are playing. (They will always be the 'skins to me).

Camden Yards is a great ball park. I've been there 15 times. Wish I could go with @PaulRVA .
