Exactly the same in the UK Mike, and I suspect most places in the world.
But your right, UK & Australia are particularly renowned for it

What a stem on that beautiful pipe!

Enjoying a small bowl of KBV Burley Morning Pipe in a Jansen's N.O. bent volcano with saddle stem, and a cup of coffee before getting ready to head off to church.

Good morning BoBs! Breakfast of Champions again, MT in the Cobbler with OBB. I look forward to week-ends just for this breakfast ritual, no time for it during the work week. I'm sure I've mentioned that before but it bears repeating, I truly enjoyed the morning routine last winter: catching up on posts with my first smoke and cup of Joe. Simple things...

Good Morning!
Chores are done on this drizzly morning. I'm starting off with GLP Westminster in an MM Apple Diplomat as usual along with a cup of coffee. I'll follow this with a DGT of last night's Watch City Rouxgaroux in an MM Washington 5th Ave.

Just finished a broadleaf control on my lawn, having a bowl of Oriental Silk and then I'll move on to other chores. I use pesticides sparingly, they are still an important tool in the kit but should not be seen or used as a panacea for all problems: pest, vegetative, or fungal. Selective application and aesthetic thresholds are important techniques to limit their use. I maintain professional certification for their application, and management.

Carl, did 2 black ops missions in 67 to 70. The intelligence we got from you guys was invaluable. Everyone in the military is important no matter what your job was or your MOS. Soldiers gotta eat, they need supplies, they need air cover. When it cones to war all jobs are important.

Ranger,

Hats off to you. I agree with you that all of us contributed in some way to the service of the US. I was the first man in our immediate family to serve in over 100 years. My dad and grand dad were deferred in both world wars, because they worked for DuPont in war related industries. My younger brother was a Pershing missile crewman down in West Germany, while I worked in Berlin. Best to you, sir.

Good morning and Happy Sunday salutations to all my fellow BoBs. It's a nice day on the patio with Tumbleweed in a Pete system B42 smooth bent apple with modified Plip. And CR morning coffee of course. Gotta head to the ranch soon. Cochise's hives have started coming back, so vet wants him to have Benadryl every 4 hours for a couple of days. If I didn't have so many obligations in town I would just take out a cot and sleep in the tack room, lol. Wishing everyone a calm and peaceful day.

@Singed is that the stock stem on your cob? Very nice! Guess I am in the pattern of noticing stems this am?

Just time for a codger bowl of CH in a MM general cob before heading to the ranch. Wifey out walking Charlie. Have a great day everyone.

Near the half way mark of this bowl of pre-2014 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 in the military mount style. Watching the Phillies-Mets game. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Noon treats have been passed out and I'm starting an MM Pride filled with Watch City English Ernie-ental. The IndyNXT race will be starting shortly!

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and have a third of a bowl left of year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star 50th, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-Nats game.

The IndyNXT was a good race! Now I'm getting ready for the IndyCar Grand Prix at Road America with an MM Iconic Legend filled with a Peterson Flake and a glass of homemade hard cider.

Now smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.

Yes, the Charlestowne Cobbler is a joint design with C&D and comes with an acrylic stem. I had a hard decision to make between this pipe and MM's Emerald, which also has an acrylic stem. I may pick up both at Christmas, my Cobbler is burning through, it had a cob defect on the interior. MM refunded me completely for it.

Ran a few errands this am, picked up four more hermalique jars at Ikea, washed the car, got the wrong part to repair my furnace exhaust. I had a bowl of Oriental Silk in my Bones Dublin while I polished the car afterwards.

I jarred half my newest order, I now have twelve types of tobacco, more than I think I saw at my old tobacconist during my last visit - they shifted very heavily to supporting cigar sales in the last two years and opened a cigar lounge to boot. Pipes are welcome but their pipe tobacco menu is a quarter of what it was.

Anyway, I'm deliberating what new tobacco to try this evening and I'm leaning towards Star of the East, most likely in the MMBB.

Did a set of walking reps, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Padres-D-Backs game.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Virginia Jazz in a smooth medium brown medium bend 1950s B.B.B. Own Make 307 apple with a sterling silver band and black vulcanite saddle stem. Maybe it's just me, but it seems to getting a bit spicer after a while.
