Dan Tobacco's Salty Dogs in my 1930's Kaywoodie Standard Bulldog with a 4 hole stinger. A fine tobacco in a great pipe. I hate the stinger but to remove it really lowers the value. :)

Just finished smoking Jim's Va/Bur in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem.
 
Now smoking Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard. Have just a little more work to do.
 
AJ, if you don't care for the stinger on that pipe saw the tip off. Do you want to enjoy smoking it or sell it in the future? ENJOY IT

Now smoking Granger in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite stem. Watching Perry Mason.

Just now popped this tin because it's available again:

Wessex Brown Virginia Flake dated 2010. This Flake needs/requires a few years of aging, can be a bit bland when fresh. Just my honest opinion.

Pipe of choice: recently restored Kaywoodie very chubby handmade/carved pot/scoop pipe. The Drinkless stinger is buffed and perfect, no clogs now. Looks like new!! The nomenclature is very crisp.

GLP Cumberland dated 2005 in my Radice Chubby Reubens Rhodesian Shape Bullcap Bulldog. An excellent smoking pipe!!

Sid, you of all people, drinking coffee from a paper cup! :shock:
 
I have 4 favorite GLP blends, this is one of them:

GLP Telegraph Hill Dated 2006
Pipe of choice: New version brown anodized Falcon pipe with a slight bend to the stem. The bowl I'm using now is one I made....2" Rusticated Chimney bowl made from Algerian briar aged over 75 years. The finish is dark and light brown completed with carnauba wax on a soft buffing wheel.  It was a piece of briar I purchased at a pipe show that was part of an Estate sale from a storage facility that belonged to Ben Wade. Well, that's what I was told....do I believe it.... :scratch: :scratch: :scratch:

Just finishing this bowl of MacBaren Golden Extra in a 1983 medium bend, mostly smooth, bottom rusticated Butz-Choquin Maitre Pipier 3 Fait Main with pearl brown acrylic stem.
 
Now smoking 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. A can of Faygo Orange soda is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

The picture quality is bad, but here's an old Faygo commercial with Hal (The Great Gildersleeve) Peary and Laurel and Hardy imposters.
