Some very old Dunhill flake in a Bruyere 3122.
Pipe Of The Day (POTD)

First bowl of the new year is Stonehaven in a Peterson 2000 bent LE spigot...
Beautiful pipe, Price! I'd love to get a Pete spigot one day.
Second smoke on this lazy day is HH Mature Virginia in a Moretti olive wood poker.

That Moretti is beautiful. How's it smoke?
smokes great! Hard for me to pinpoint the difference of the olive wood, but for me it takes the edge off of some sharper blends, and seems to encourage the sweeter side of Virginias. This pipe also has an effortless, open draw, which I really like.
G.L. Pease Westminster in a Baki bent Ball meerschaum followed by Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Grasmere Flake in a Baki bent Brandy meerschaum...
I'm feeling well enough that I can taste and smell a bit now, so...Hearth & Home Old Tartan in MM Ozark.
It's a light English but not short on flavor. The description makes it sound like there's a lot of burley...if so, that's the most burley I've ever truly enjoyed.

Haldo's Delight blended with Carter Hall in my Savenilli 320.
Haddo's Delight in a Mastro de Paja rusticated bent apple.
Must be a Haddo's Delight day today, I had one earlier in a Savinelli Marron Glace Billiard, and just finished one up in a new Neerup Poker, no photos , too dark in the morning and my camera on phone is not cooperating, I think I have enough left in the jar for one more smoke
HOTW in a Savinelli 310
DE Meat Pie in a Savinelli Onda.
Dipped into the treasure trove today. 10 year old A&C Peterson Escudo (originally a gift from one of you gentlemen) in my diminutive, but deceptively deep, Kevin Arthur poker...
SG Chocolate Flake in a no-name briar
Kilroy6644
Smoking a corn dog in aviators and a top hat
It's hard to get good pics without sinking a lot of money into a good setup. That pic is almost as good as what I get with a regular camera (and the only difference is in resolution), and a lot better than my attempts at Jupiter.
Drew Estate Grand Central, twice: First in a Missouri Meerschaum Legend cob, and next in a Whitehall Saratoga Dublin.
If my son keeps being interested in stars and the moon we'll probably go for something better than the current set-up. But for now it's good enough,especially in the company of a nice pipe
PipeList.com's Proper English (no idea if it's someone else's bulk or if he actually blends it himself) in a William Harrison Silver Cap Calabash from (possibly) 1911.
The blend is alright, but the pipe is great. I'm not a clencher by any stretch of the imagination, but this pipe begs to be clenched. It smokes beautifully, even much better than my Butz Choquin calabash pipe. It's not just a piece of history, but superb in function to boot. This may become my favorite pipe.
I think this blend actually has a topping added to it. It smells/tastes too sweet to be a straight English, and when I puffed a bit hard I felt that aromatic tingle on my tongue.

I don't know if it's the same one, but there is a Proper English by Peter Stokkebye.
