Gotta admit I like how this pipe smokes,it's well balanced and comfortable.
A third of the way through this bowl of Troost Slices in an egg shaped medium bend smooth Burgundy colored 1985 Caminetto. A bottle of Sprite is my drink. Surprisingly, my cats, Suzy and Molly stayed in bed when I got up, and it's still quiet in the house. I'm cleaning a few pipes, listening to the news and deciding on when to start my work day.
About a third of the way through this bowl of Ogden’s Walnut in a 2002 medium bend smooth Rinaldo EGEA 03 Silver line spigot 10.
A mini meer (eagle head, bent blue acrylic stem) full of my homemade flake batch #6 from a little over a year ago. This one is a mix of burley, latakia, some topped VA from @Tobias Lutz (sweetened mainly), and cigar scrap cavendish, all slightly moistened with whiskey, vanilla, almond, cherry, and molasses. A bit of a tobacco salad to be sure, but not too bad. The almond doesn't help therefore it is omitted from succeeding flakes. & it could use a little more straight up bright VA.

Almost finished smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a medium bend 2002 MM Legend cob.
About a third of the way through this bowl of MacBaren HH Pure Virginia in a 2003 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend freehand sitter. Just about ready to write my review of it.

GL Pease Cairo in a Grabow
PS Black Coffee / PS Lux Bullseye Flake in a no name Polish billard.
First time trying the layering method, I could tell the difference in flavors but the transition was more subtle than I expected.
Not far from finishing this bowl of D&R Ryback in a 1970s smooth medium bend Stanwell Rego 969-48 Design Choice 837 sitter with a vulcanite stem and ferrule.
Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem.

Almost finished smoking Heine's Blend in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.49) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega.

2015 (new) Cromwell (pressed - tweak #2) in a 1963 Barling #6269 King (smooth) pot. Iced water, some classical guitar. First smoke in this very generously sized pipe and this is the last of this sample.
2012 McClelland Christmas Cheer.
Moonshine XXX Blend in a 2013 slight bend grain etched briar John Barrett Volcano with a walnut shank.
Now smoking the best durn tobacco made today: Strang in a 2003 smooth medium bent straight grain Ardor Venere Extra signed by Dorelio Rovera Dublin.
Just finished a mini meer (billiard, dark red acrylic bent stem) full of Esoterica And So to Bed - a BOTL co-worker gave me a sample. It's okay but nothing to write home about.
Currently having a bowl (same mini meer) of 9954-7-8. The aforementioned co-worker and I split P&C's "Cut Above" sampler which has 5 different middle of the road tobaccos. Unforch, they didn't label them, so we've got 5 mystery tobaccos :) The only distinguishing info is a number on the label. He's attempting to track it down.
2011 Villiger Maryland No. 333 in a 2004 smooth long stem Canadian Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3.
