I had a bowl of St James Flake in a "The Pipe" Canadian light blue with with two white pin-stripes, during my morning commute up the mountain to work.
I love this pipe. People seem to have an instinctual hatred for this pipe. Whenever I smoke it folks give me weird looks at best, and look like they are gonna turn a hose on me or strike me at worst. The perverse side of me loves to smoke it and smile at everyone.
Just finished smoking Peter Stokkebye Nougat in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer.
Now smoking St. James Flake in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer. Haven't smoked this meer in a while, but it's a favorite.

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Curly Cut deLuxe Sliced in a 1940s Barling's Make Ye Olde Wood #1372 R (long) taper billiard. Morning cup of coffee, freshly ground.
Of course, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to coffee. I grind it, use an Aeropress and make some concentrate that I dilute into an Americano. It's better than most of what I used to make but I suspect that I've only upgraded ingredients, methods and especially price to marginally improve a situation that was always and continually fair to middling. It's fine by me, sort of like looking at your ugly kid and thinking that they're not so bad looking after all and I love 'em just the same.
Of course I never needed to do this with with my kids, who inherited their mothers good looks, but had I been the only subscriber to their gene pool then I would have been at it full time.
Hope that you all have a good day, get to work safe, the weekend awaits.
