Just finished smoking 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.

Had a friend stop by for some tobacco and he stayed for coffee and conversation. I usually add tobacco to my orders for him but I won't be ordering until overnight temps are above freezing, the Pease and Drucquer tobacco that I order have water but no propylene glycol to keep them from freezing. After chores pipe is GLP Abingdon in a Rob Roy along with a cup of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee.
You cure your own?
 
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am passing the first third of this bowl of 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. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.

Sam the Scamp is a cute one! He looks to be in the older kitten, young cat age range aspiring to be your lap cat!

No, I noticed that some tobaccos gunk up a pipe to the point it won't dry out after being emptied. I spoke with a tobacconist who suggested it was because the tobaccos contain humectants to keep them hydrated and that Cornell and Diehl only used water. I spoke with customer service at Smoking Pipes and they confirmed that there were no chemical additives which is when I focused on Pease English/Balkan blends.
 
Not far from finishing this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

He's gotten bigger in the last two months since we've been feeding him. I don't think he's more than a year old. And he loves me!! Took more pics of him today. :)
 
Just finished smoking year 2020 Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake in a 2002 black sandblast full bend D.R. Ardor Urano dublin with a slightly tapered far side of the bowl and a black acrylic saddle stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in several years, and knew it'd work well for a long, enjoyable smoke.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught catfish and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. Earlier, I smoked a bowl of Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem.

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of aged Rattrays Hal O’ The Wynd in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII (Comoy’s) Corinthian De-Luxe 126 pot made for Sutliff in San Francisco with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Cleaning a few pipes.
