[NeverBend]

2015 NY Pipe Club Bowling Green in an Il Ceppo 4 smooth, taper oval shank billiard.

[JimInks]

Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a smooth 1977 Medley (GBD second) medium bend billiard with a flat underside.

[JustTroItIn]

Smoking a bowl of MacBaren HH Vintage Syrian in my Calabash. No pic because I figured y'all may be sick of seeing it but I'm sure not tired of smoking it.

[JimInks]

Sutliff Breckinridge in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band.

[JimInks]

1980/81 Nightcap in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl. This will finish off the sample.

[Tobias Lutz]

About to burn some 1982 Deerstalker in a Gatlinburlier house pipe to celebrate my last day at my company after 13 years

[Alligator Gar]

What better tobacco for the maiden flight of my Savinelli alligator than Squadron Leader?

[JimInks]

Capstan Blue in a straight sandblasted black billiard 2013 PSF POY Kaywoodie with an amber colored lucite stem. Starting to run low on the open stash now.

[GWBowman]

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Curly Cut deLuxe Sliced in a 1940s Barling's Make Ye Olde Wood #1372 R (long) taper billiard. Morning cup of coffee, freshly ground.

Of course, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to coffee. I grind it, use an Aeropress and make some concentrate that I dilute into an Americano. It's better than most of what I used to make but I suspect that I've only upgraded ingredients, methods and especially price to marginally improve a situation that was always and continually fair to middling. It's fine by me, sort of like looking at your ugly kid and thinking that they're not so bad looking after all and I love 'em just the same.

Of course I never needed to do this with with my kids, who inherited their mothers good looks, but had I been the only subscriber to their gene pool then I would have been at it full time.

Hope that you all have a good day, get to work safe, the weekend awaits.

Drink what you like, like what you drink
