What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Up early and decided to start my smoking day with MacBaren Navy Flake in a 1981 Ascorti Black Billiard Business with a military bit. Simply Orange is my drink.

Ok Ok Ok, I get it Jim!

But my agony is worse still! In my case, golf was a possibility yesterday. Being out in that weather and knowing I wouldn't be swinging the sticks was agonizing. In your case at least you know that you won't be golfing :p

I too am lighting up a morning bowl of Royal Yach in a 1940s Wally Frank. Goes decent with the morning coffee, but not as well as Storm Front I must say :pipe:

Jim, are you snowing there yet? We're forecast for 3-4" now and the ground again becomes a memory.

2015 Gawith & Hoggarth Mixture #12 in a 1960s Castello 'Epoca' C.S. saddle billiard.

Another pipe from the archives, very early Epoca (dripping candle wax) finish in a #16 shape (unmarked).

Overnight Mixture #12 has improved nicely. @Branzig asked for a review and I can't refuse him anything (except pipes, tobacco, money or anything of value). I dread writing tobacco reviews and prefer to read those by @JimInks but a promise is a promise and barring sickness or injury (someone please give me the flu) it will be done in 2015.

Homemade VA flake in a Dr. G Omega. Nice smoke for a sunny but chilly afternoon - burned for over an hour :)

Hi Jack,

Your picture looks good enough to eat. May I ask how you're getting the photos into your post? I'm having no luck doing so at all (uploads don't work).

Finsbury was (is?) located in Elmsford NY, not far from Sleepy Hollow. They had pipes made for them under the Bonnie Brier label as well as their own name (such as yours).

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Mixture #12 in a 1985 Ser Jacopo R1 Maxima rusticated giant taper billiard.

Another pipe from the archives and the biggest ppe that I own (>3" height)
