This 1906 H&J Meerschaum arrived this morning, the stem is a little loose but a little gossamer tape fixed that up in a jiffy. Haven’t had time to find out who H & J are yet but if anyone knows I’d appreciate it.
This stood out because it has a shield on the bottom of the bowl as well as a good colouring. First smoke will be Plum Cake.

Morning Men! It has been over a month since I posted in the 'What are You Smoking' section of the forum. As it is a beautiful sunny day I thought I was start the day off with some Bosun's Plug in the meerschaum that refuses to color as fast as it should. In six months I have managed a little over one inch of stem color in the course of several hundred bowls. I suppose I shall see how things progress through September. Anyway have a pleasant day, enjoy your smokes and I'll drop by later!
an afternoon smoke of Escudo in a Orlik De Lux 176 group3 size long billiard, pairing with a highball glass of Tanqueray G&T
Starting off the day with a cup of Iron Bean Coffee and a bowl of C&D Exhausted Rooster in a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Professor (XL16) PSB.
Good morning all. Starting the smoking day as I wish to continue. Sutliff Match Elizabethan, first in an MM Emerald cob.
MacBaren HH Burley Flake in a Georg Jensen bent brandy.
Getting ready for our Pig's Eye Pipe Club meeting tonight with an old favorite this morning. Some Mixture 79 in my Doodler
@Jwebb90 and @UncleRasta do you prefer the Sutliff Elizabethan Match over the current Peterson-branded EM?

Workin on the lake this mornin. Enjoying a bowl of some 2018 Six Pence with temperatures at about 65°F. Hope yall have a good one. 
Fox Campanile in the ole Cannonball. So far everything I smoke in this pipe is more delicious than in my others.
Mid-day pipe; C&D Burley Flake #2 in a Peterson 107 Donegal Rocky.
Wessex Gold Virginia Flake in an Altinay.
Hmmm ... seems like either one of the Rings of Power or one of the Pipes of Power !
Country Squire Old Toby in the Barontini 1/2 spigot as an experiment ... I re-assembled stem and tenon but I also sanded varnish off of the pipe... I left it on the bottom and shank to highlight the birdseye. I lightly oiled and waxed it. The pipe is now cooler to the touch. The fine grained areas of concern only get very warm but not hot as the pipe can now 'breathe'. I am about to order some Paragon wax. Good smoke. Will take pictures later.
Good day all! Starting with SG Hansom Flake in an Upshall sandblast Canadian size 4.
My preference is for the Sutliff match. This was blended to replicate the old Murray’s version and not the currently produced stuff. @JimInks knows a good bit about the Murray version and can share his insights.
A third of the way through this bowl of year 2014 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 in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
No post for a while.. not smoking much and less time on the forum. Tonight Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in my favourite Pete.
