Prepping some Durbar for a smoke. Probably in a big ugly Custom-bilt.

Hi Brandon,

You're a young man, you can change your ways. Look at me, I sold a Sixten Ivarsson for $60 and I'm here to tell about it! (pipe didn't smoke, just pissed that I didn't know to hold onto it another 30 years when it would have had a couple more zeros on the price).

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Louisiana Flake in a 1964 Barling #3229, sandblast, saddle apple.

Take this little fella I'm smoking now. Bought it for a reasonable price (~$45). First few smokes were weak to mediocre but it's doing fine with this tobacco. The Lat mixtures I tried it with were a bad pairing. If he's going to smoke this way, I'll keep it, unless of course I need some cash to buy something else (grins).

About half way through this bowl of Davidoff Red in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black vulcanite stem.

A third of the way through this bowl of Capt. Black Copper in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic stem.

Half way through this bowl of Peretti’s DD in a 1979 straight smooth Dr. Grabow Grand Duke 45 pot. Have enough left for one more bowl.

1792 Flake, stuffed into the Imperial 2 point.
FWIW, I've never had a tobacco pair so well with coffee; hot, iced, sweetened, black or with cream, it doesn't seem to matter. It's just... good. Odd thing is, I don't like this blend rubbed out - I find it too peppery and harsh and hard to keep lit. That and it tends to break up into splinters.

Stokkebye Evening Treasure in a 2003 IMP horn Meer.

C&D Morley’s Best in a straight black sandblast undated Savinelli Hercules 115EX pot with a black vulcanite stem.

Lunch time smoke.

Rattray's Hal o the Wynd in a Rossi Prince.

C&D Small Batch Carolina Red Flake in a 1984 three quarter bend medium brown Ascorti KS Business Dublin with a black acrylic stem.

MacBaren Symphony in a mid-70s slight bend black sandblasted English Rustic 120 billiard with a black vulcanite stem.
