I’m enjoying some Stonehaven I purchased on July 15, 2010 in a Stanwell “63” Buffalo sandblasted freehand. I must say that this Va/Bur blend is something special, especially with 13+ years of aging on it. Very complex with some real dark and nutty notes. Happy Saturday all.

Starting my weekend off with some Early Morning Pipe in a Brebbia Avanti Dark Canadian. Cup of strong, black coffee on the side.

I’m smoking some Escudo Navy Deluxe in a Comoy’s Gold Bark Bent Dublin 27xl (004). Fantastic blend and pairs well with this particular pipe. Happy Saturday to all.

Good morning and Happy Independence Day. I’m enjoying some McClelland 3 Oaks Syrian in a Stanwell “63” Buffalo sandblasted freehand. Sun is finally shining through the haze and it’s a beautiful morning to celebrate freedom.

Condor blended in an IMP large bent billiard meerschaum. Diet soda on the side. Weather at the beginning of the month of July is limping in here in the Great Lakes region as a result of the Canadian wildfires. Hoping to see the sun rather than the smokey haze we’ve “enjoyed” for the last couple...

Good evening, fellow pipe enthusiasts. I’m enjoying some G&H Ennerdale Flake in a basket briar. I know the Lakeland Essence isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I really like this blend, which has the “grandma’s perfume” flavor profile down to an art form.

That coffee looks delicious!

2010 vintage Frog Morton in an Ascorti Peppino Rusticated Billiard (101). I suppose one benefit of smoking less frequently in recent years is the age time I get on all the blends I stocked up on 10-15 years ago. Who says “hoarding“ doesn’t pay off. I’ve always enjoyed this blend but 13 years...

Good morning, all. I’m enjoying some Early Morning Pipe in a Peterson 302 system standard rusticated bent apple. Strong black coffee (and my golden retriever) at my side. I hope everyone is enjoying some good springtime weather wherever you may be.

Good Sunday morning, all. I’m enjoying some FVF in a Stanwell “63” Buffalo sandblasted freehand. I haven’t taken the time to enjoy a nice bowl of tobacco in some time, but I’m going to rectify that starting right now.

I can smell springtime in the air so I’m enjoying some Exhausted Rooster in a Savinelli PISA 316KS Bent Pot. Glass of Pinot Noir on the side.

Evening all. I’m enjoying some HOTW in a Sasieni 4 Dot bent Dublin. Guinness Extra Stout on the side.

Good Sunday morning to everyone. I’m enjoying some Early Morning Pipe (2014 vintage) in a Don Carlos partially rusticated lovat. Strong black coffee as the chaser. This blend really ages well and it pairs very nicely with this pipe. Looking forward to an end to this ugly, cold winter so I can...

I’m enjoying a bowl of G&H’s Bob’s Chocolate Flake in an Aktas Latticed Meerschaum Bent Billiard. Happy New Year to all.

I’m enjoying my first smoke in a while, Orlik Golden Sliced in a Savinelli PISA 316KS Bent Pot. Don’t really know why I haven’t smoked lately; life just got in the way I suppose. Anyway, this particular blend in a pipe I’ve owned since the early 90’s is something special. Note to self: quit...
