Virginia Maryland Blend #2 in a Peterson Kenmare.

Virginia Maryland Blend in a Peterson Limerick. I was sweating sitting in the sun for breakfast, and the dogs have already gone wading in the river. This is the blend I gave to the groom a few weeks ago as a wedding present, he sent me a picture last night of him smoking it in a Viking Assens...

Babyish Bottoms in a Bacchus meerschaum. This Pipe Crafting book takes me back to when I was an avid golfer, and I bought Ben Hogan's Five Lessons. These self help books can really leave a mark.

Word of Mouth in a Bacchus meerschaum. I think the peacocks know it's going to get hot today, they're losing their feathers. 🙂

A Burley/Oriental blend called Wild Horse in a Peterson Kildare. I received three pipe kits and a book called PIMO's Guide to Pipe Crafting at Home from Vermont Freehand. I ordered a crosscut saw, some rasps and files, and a good deal of sand paper from Lee Valley that will arrive next week...

Wilbur's Blend in a Charatan's Make billiard, walking downtown again, the breeze is cooling off the heat of the day. Tomorrow's getting above a hundred!

Red with Dark Fired in a Charatan's Make Executive, my first smoke in the pipe. Slender comfortable stem, great clench, and a fine home blend to get it started.

Wilbur's Blend in a Bacchus meerschaum.

I did that, with pipes in one column and tobaccos in the next column, and then the date I last smoked the pairing in the next column. You can imagine how long pairing every single pipe to a certain tobacco would last. Not very long. Now I keep all the blends I buy and make at home in an app...

Urban Cowboy in a Rob Vacher Bamboo poker. Thanks @Ranger107. This was only a day old and it was quite good. I noticed @Zippo, and @Swede, and @Ranger107 were smoking this in the morning, and I had to try it. If you can compare it to what I make at home, I'd say mi burley no és su burley.

Orinoco Virginia in a Butz Choquin Bistro. Wilbur's Blend in a Wilbur billiard, this is PS Black Cavendish and Virginia Burley Blendbase. Dying an entire pipe with colored leather dye hasn't been a great success. Staining works well on the rim after you've topped a pipe, but that's with brown...

Tinder Box in a Charatan's Make Special 81DC poker.

Summer Ptarmigan in a Savinelli Camouflage.

PS Peaches and Cream in a Savinelli Camouflage.

Magic Beans in a CAO Mark Twain meerschaum.

BB Antietam in an Altinay pot meerschaum. I got the Mark Twain stem looking clean, I'm going to wait until I have the right grades of sandpaper to do any more. No super glue on this one.
