Half way through this bowl of year 2022 KBV Mr. Christian's Haunted Virginia 2022 in a straight, black sandblasted 1980s Comoy’s Mark-2 G * 6 (4) bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This finishes the pouch.

Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Ooh. That's a lovely pipe! Same shape as the SS309?
 
I just filled a Peterson's Kapp-Royale billiard with a newly-opened pre-2000 tin of Dan's Tordenskjold. I may even light it!
On this forum I hear of so many blends that are new to me. More new ones than ones I recognize. And, I've been a pipe smoker for 60+ years. Don't have time enough to try them all . . . but I'm trying.
 
First pipe in days. Sutliff Vanilla Custard which I will miss in an Academy Award Bent bulldog. This pipe draws so nicely I really like it.
Dealing with the cold is proving to be challenging with a broken truck. Because if you're going to break do it while it's 20 degrees. No water or propane, but Basil and I are still plugging away. Cut up three hundred plus foot Douglas Firs and Basil hauled them back in a wheelbarrow. He's a beast.
Then I pulled some stumps with root balls so big my 25 ton excavator can't lift them up. Going to need to buy a ripper for the excavator to get the rest.
Walking down to the stream and back with buckets of water is quite the workout. My ducks are so happy to have the water it's worth it. I'm sure after we figure out the cold the rain will be back.
 
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've about a third of a bowl left of year 2018 Dunhill London Mixture in a brown medium bend 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank with a military mount and a tapered black acrylic stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Fed all the ferals and my cats. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

@JimInks and @denholrl I'm glad for the question and your post, as it made me appreciate what I have in my Peterson standard system rusticated 309. I wonder how much the construction of this pipe contributed to the smoking quality of the bowl of C&D Steamworks I had last Tuesday. It was one of the best smokes I've had in over a year. I hope to get that again in this pipe today. But, you know how that can go sometimes. That is one thing that frustrates me about pipe smoking-the inability to get consistency from the same tobacco in the same pipe.
 
Good morning,
I have not been smoking much because my wife and I have colds, Smoking a Pete SH Baker street with PS b&b 23, Mc Cafe k-cup. On the positive side ,I won a hand made Design -Berlin hunting pipe online. The pipe appears to be smoked very little and it looks pristine! I paid a little more than I wanted to spend,but that pipe called out to me. I watched the auction for a week and it was haunting me... LOL! I made the e-bay seller a generous offer and he accepted and closed the auction, it seemed like no one was bidding because his starting bid was very high to begin with...
