I’m smoking my own mixture of Rougaroux/Krumovgrad/DAC in a vintage Stanwell Hans Christian Andersen.

Happy Lord's Day to All and One!! Getting a little time to sit and do nothing, so in way of a reward for myself it's a bowl of 2016 PS Virginia Flake in a Peterson 80S Donegal Rocky... Just wish I could fix the lighter in the picture... A small black coffee alongside...

Good evening all. Time for some Saturday Night Strang in a Royalton Bent... A large sweet tea alongside... I didn’t realize that was a thing until I saw a post a few weeks back. Maybe I will join in in a couple weeks, (next Saturday is a pipe club meeting and I am pretty smoked out at night). When the Strang runs out for everyone it will be Saturday night Griever. Charlie, back in the day when Mr. Motzek was importing to the US through various sellers, (before the nanny sate imposed their will), several of us in another forum would just get together and enjoy a bowl of Strang every Saturday night. One of the members took some of our posting pictures and created the Saturday Night Strang theater billing! We would post our pictures and have a grand time. We had members from around the world. One was a feller in Mainz Germany who I have sadly lost contact with. He had never had a Corn Cob pipe nor had he seen one so I sent him one. Customs in Germany held it at his post office and he had to go pick it up there. The agent was confused by it and when he asked my friend what it was, all he said was, Huckelberry Finn and the agent said "oh, it's toy" and let it go through. I do miss being able to spend more time engaged in conversations, but alas, life changes everything....

Good Evening! It's 72° out here on the deck with waves of rain showers coming through the area and I'm under the umbrella staying dry. Just lit up a bowl of Bayou Morning Flake in the petite Stanwell 29. Have a relaxing night everybody!

I don't smoke it very often because I prefer bigger bowled pipes. I save it for shorter smokes when I'm out on the deck.

Same. I don't smoke my small-bowled pipes very often, either. I'm having some Carter Hall in the Ashton Old Church brandy (decidedly not a small-bowled pipe):

We had a watchmaker named Valentine from Germany on this forum, he did a group buy for us, and it was a pretty big haul. I wish I had bought more. Still have some, but it does not leave the house.

Family day today. Celebrated future daughter-in-law's birthday. Took a pouch of Friar's Bayou and a couple neglected pipes. Finishing the day with Haunted Bookshop in the Sunday cob.

Smoked my last bowl, of Mac Baren Navy Flake, in my Stanwell model 32, sandblast. The MB is a good blend, but I'm slowly getting my cellar down to two blends...those being Sir Walter Raleigh Regular and Peter Stokkebye's Proper English no. 52.
Oftentimes, it's simply best to enjoy a consistent favorite.

Good Morning! It's 58° here with a cloudy sky. This afternoon I have to go to the hardware store, pick up four bags of potting soil for my wife's deck planter, and get a couple of boxes of kitchen matches for myself while I'm there. Starting the smoking day with a bowl of Peterson Flake in the BBB Two Star Special smooth billiard and there's a fresh travel mugga coffee tucked underneath my jacket. Have a good one everybody!

Good morning all of the Patch, grey, wet Bank Holiday morning here, took a few days off all internet for the weekend, just hanging around the house, keeping an eye on the pooch. He had a bad day yesterday, seemed to be in a lot of discomfort, not moving great, but today, again, he seems somewhat better. I'm going to have a wee bowl of Irish Flake in the Falcon. Hope you all have a great day and week ahead friends.

Good morning all. I’m smoking some Presbyterian Ordained in a 1964 Dunhill Shell Billiard. Fog is thick this morning and seems it’ll be drizzly for the next few days. Warm enough to sit on the porch. A little sparrow built its nest near my chair and my presence is driving her nuts. I hope your day goes well!

71 and raining in NE Texas today. Having a bowl of Wilke Bestmake in a Radice 2004 Bark, twin bore oil cured bent billiard. Iced tea on the side. "Aaaah! There's nothing like sitting by the fireplace with a pipe, a dog, and a good book at your feet." I love the dog in the photo. I had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for 13 years. He was top Cavalier for obedience in Canada - 1984. Tristy was his name and he was my best friend. I would love to have another dog but I am too old to take care of one properly. I can barely take care of myself. Enjoy him.

Happy Monday! Started the day with a couple bowls of Haunted Bookshop in the Monday cob and coffee on the front porch. 55, cloudy and breezy here. I'll get the lawns cut today. We'll see what else gets done.
