What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

@NeverBend 's mystery blend A in a Savinelli Roma 626.

Tewksbury Celtic Blend, courtesy of our friend @Aguineapig , in a briar.

Balkan Blue in my standing Savinelli 114KS.

After tossing my worn out MM Legend that was used only for English blends it's time to break in a new one. So it's Balkan Sasieni in new reject Legend, a glass of cheap beer, and the Giants / Cubs game.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Paul’s Pipe Shop Arrowhead in a 1976 black rough carved Pioneer Meerschaum Oom Paul with a pearl brown acrylic stem. Watching the Cubs-Giants game.

Sutliff English Oriental in a Grabow Savoy

About a third of the way through this bowl of aged Hal O’ the Wynd in a smooth three quarter bend 1970s Charatan Belvedere 4211DC with a black vulcanite double comfort stem.

Ryback Gold in a Savinelli King's Cross.....

A couple minutes or so away from smoking Iwan Ries Three Star Blue in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic stem.

About halfway through my last pipe of the day, Russ Ouelette's Acadian VaPer in a rusticated Mark Tinsky bent bulldog. I do like his pipes, cool smoking with a wide open draw, wouldn't mind owning two or three more. But as a retiree living on a pension, they're a bit out of my price range now.

Just finished smoking St. Basil’s Ivan the Terrible in a smooth straight WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.

Now smoking Granger in a black 1997 Brebbia Jubilee 925 silver banded grain sandblast briar calabash with a black acrylic stem. Have enough left for a couple bowls.

Part way through this bowl of Peretti’s Thanksgiving Blend in a sienna toned slightly etched 1979 signed Rossi 1886 Visconte 245 Oom Paul with a ring around the middle of the shank and an amber acrylic stem. I'll finish the night off with this smoke.

halfway through my first bowl in almost two months, Lane Limited Ready Rubbed in a MM Rob Roy legend w/ vulcanite stem, and a cuppa coffee. Compared to the Sutliff match, I do find this less sweet (everyone says a lack of molasses). To be honest, I prefer this for that very reason, the sutliff match was a little bit too sweet for me taste, and this is just right so far.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Sir Walter Raleigh in an old grain relief, partly smooth full bend "V" shape bowl Ben Wade Prominence freehand with the letter A and the numeral 2 in circles with a black vulcanite stem and ferrule.

Puffing Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug, my favorite topped Virginia. The topping is tasty, and applied judiciously. Scrumptious tin note, and pretty tin presentation – neat rectangular flakes of variegated light and dark leaf.

STCoP Dobie’s Four Square Aromatic in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black vulcanite stem.

Part way through this bowl of Stonehaven in a 1998 smooth medium bend Peterson Limerick 69 with a nickel band with a black vulcanite p-lip stem. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink.

First pipe of the day is another tall bowl of Anniversary Kake in a MM General with a bent stem. I need to get more of these pipes, just fill, pack, light, and smoke forever.

Half way through this bowl of 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.

About half way through this bowl of Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a 1982 smooth straight Dunhill Root Briar 31051 Dublin with a black vulcanite stem.

Just finished smoking D&R Raccoon’s Accent in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2000 Winslow C silver spigot wide top Dublin with a canted plateau and black acrylic stem.

Kaywoodie 70B Cutty with some PS Bulls Eye Flake.......

Six panel Trapwell with Cult Blood Red Moon.....So I started with dessert again , I'm a redneck it's expected.

Folding and Stuffing Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake in a Kaywoodie 95B....

Part way through this bowl of C&D Corn Cob Christmas Blend 2016 in a 2013 MM straight Legend with a yellow stem.

Gatlinburlier Sugar Lands Honey in a Thin Bite thanks to @Tobias Lutz .....

Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture in a MM Diplomat apple with a straight, short Forever stem. No baseball games today so I'm reading sports pages online from around the country with fans calling for everyone's head because their team didn't make the World Series. Everyone is a goat today, but by spring training they'll all be heroes again. I love baseball.

Lane 1Q in a Friar billard,,,,,,,,next up is Orlik DSK in a DG Duke,,,,,I don't need sleep......:censored:

A quarter of the way through this bowl of 2013 Capstan Gold in a very early Ascorti straight New Dear KS billiard with a smooth shank and a black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.

H&H Burley Kake in the freehand pickaxe

C&D Haunted Bookshop in a pipe that I haven't figured out what it is. It has "1986" on the bottom of the shank, and "Italy' on the bottom of the stem where it marries up to the shank. Fine smoking pipe though.....

Hearth & Home Mazatec in a Brewster straight billiard

A couple minutes away from smoking Cannon Plug in a 2013 bent MM Missouri Pride Legend with a yellow stem.

H&H Anni Kake in a John Bessai straight, smooth poker. Couldn't make it through an entire day without baseball, so I'm watching an archived game on MLB.com, Red Sox vs Yankees from September 17th.

Now smoking Dunbar in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.

Getting some school assignments done on the balcony while enjoying a glass of Dewars and a bowl of Rattray's Marlin Flake in a Savinelli Punto Oro Mr. G.

A couple minutes away from smoking Savinelli 140˚ in an unbranded undated (1980s?) straight smooth flat bottom apple with a black vulcanite stem.

Short Smoke Theater presents: Vincent Manil La Brumeuse Semois in a straight 2012 MM Pony Express cob. Our main attraction will start before long.
