What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Not far from finishing Jim's Va/Bur #1 in a 2003 smooth full bend, gold banded 3 Star Ferndown Tudor Root.

Opened a 4 year old 8 oz tin of H&H Anniversary Kake last week and I just can't seem to leave it alone. Now on the second bowl of the day in a singularly unattractive John Bessai bent bulldog with the sloppiest rustication I've ever seen, but it smokes like a dream.

Just finishing 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.

1960s Edgeworth Slices in an old medium bend grain etched Preben Holm Ben Wade Prominence B freehand.

Had a bowl of Troost & JFG Brown Flake in my Glass Sipper.

The last of the open stash of Lane Limited Ready Rubbed in a 1979 straight smooth Dr. Grabow Grand Duke 45 pot. I jarred the rest of what I have for a later time when I don't have so much open burley blends.

Just finished work and this bowl of D&R Athey in a 1978 smooth golden brown Lorenzo Adria Standard 733 full bend egg. Next is 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.

I smoked FVF for my non-Royal Yacht pipe today. I don't know why I haven't smoked this lately, I have about six ounces with three years age in the jars.

Listing this a few minutes early: Viprati in a 1984 three quarter bend medium brown Ascorti KS Business Dublin.

Some Royal Yacht in an old yacht-shaped pipe. Not sure the brand. Says Made in England, and the top of the shank is stamped WIL? The rest has worn off.
