Settling down for some GH Sweet Maple Twist (2013) in a Nording semi rusticated billiard (the Hunter) with a special Aberlour a’Bunadh (don’t make me pronounce that). Didn’t have a chance to dry the tobacco so wish me luck. I struggle whether to smoke this in my dedicated straight Virginia pipe or to use my pipe for burley blends (as it seems more robust). This Scotch was given to me by a previous group head, I recall enjoying work back then.

Man, that is some good looking walnut. Glad you did not let it rot.
The only bad spots were the crotches where squirrels and raccoons had nested. Most of it was perfect. About 2,000 pounds. Couldn’t bring myself to turn it into firewood!
I bought it from an estate sale, it's stamped Eric Nording King.
Those planks would make some damned fine tables.
Granger in a Kaywoodie Regent 09B. The 3 other 09B shapes I have are a lot shorter!
Sounds like Harry has been learning from Tomato the Brave!
Hey pipers, man I'm way behind after suddenly coming down with something fierce last Tuesday night and am still out of commission.
Even had 104+ temps at one point, which I've never had before. Short story is I got hit hard, I guess a virus, and am still very low. I've really missed keeping up with the forum, and I'll be back -- let that be a promise and a warning!
Def not ready for piping yet (not even close), dang that could be another week, who knows? Anyway, just checking in!
Yeah, these guys are relentless. Step away for a day or two and get buried by the pages. No mercy. Get better and back in action soon...your homework will be waiting. :P
GH Bob's Chocolate Flake in a Peterson Aran 69 more or less dedicated to the blend.
Just finished some War Horse Bar in my Peterson Emerald rusticated 106. Ready for the work trip, now to tidy up the house a little before bed.
Late this afternoon PS LTF in the Sav 2614ks with its original stem back and a 6mm filter. Very refreshing and tasty. The Sav is a true slow sipping pipe and going strong after 43 years. (it doesn't look that old ether!)
A little more than halfway through a bowl of Big N Burley in a Savinelli Rock 503. Got this pipe used and I'm still determining where I want to take it but until the ghost of whatever Lane blend that was smoked in here is exorcized the Big N Burley will scare off the ghosts.
I’ll be making an end table out of one of them. The rest are a gift. My friend, and his family, has always been there for us, generous deeds small and large. I gave hime a large hickory years ago that fell in a hurricane. He made flooring for their kichen out of it. Getting it into his truck was quite a feat, since it was before I got the track loader!
Wasn’t feeling it today, so this is probably my only smoke (unless I get called into work-now I can’t seem to commute without a pipe
).
5Bros in a Donegal Rocky 701. I think I’ve finally chased the Coniston ghost from the bowl

Switched it up a little bit. Steamworks in a little tomato meer. 
After a long Sunday and watching the Titans lose again, had a bowl of Peretti’s No. 8 slices in a Falcon. Never had this blend before and boy, did I love it! Maybe the first time I picked up individual flavors, although I couldn’t tell you what they were (dumb tastebuds, I guess). Going to have to order some; got this sample from a member (@JoeW).
