Had a very busy day, and couldn't post until now. Here's what I have smoked today:
Pre-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.
Did a set of walking reps and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and smoked a bowl of year 2010 FVF in a straight smooth dark brown 1896 W.H. Newman, Ltd. billiard with a sterling silver band and a tapered yellow and orange stem with white swirls and an orific bit.
Currently, I am close to finishing this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Gold Star Costa Rico Black Honey Geisha, neat, is my drink.

Just got back from lunch and finishing up the last of this jar of No:7 Broken Flake in this 1900 meerschaum 'cutty' pipe with red Redmanol stem.
Now smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. One of the things that kept me busy today was learning from a friend of mine that a black cat had been hit by a car and killed a couple of blocks away from my house. I walked over to see if it was Abner the Eager. When I first saw the body, I though it was Abner due to its size and long tail being identical to our eager friend. When I looked a little closer, I noticed a few small streaks of white on its lower belly. It wasn't Abner, and I felt relief for that, but I also felt sadness for the poor little cat.
Just finished some Mixture 79 while putting together a giant garden cart for the Mrs. Next I’ll be building a garage to store the cart in. 
Rattray's - Old Gowrie in a Radice and a Cup of Joe.
Lane 1Q in a MM General.
A beautiful lunch hour - smoked some Old Dark Fired in my Blatter before heading over to the library to pick up some reserved books. The ODF was a surprise - the flake was a bit dried out and boy - did that bring up the Kentucky! Not the usual bbq taste I was used to, but a nice smoke nonetheless. And I FINALLY got a decent pic of my pipe!
A bowl of Coniston Cut Plug in this short meerschaum 'cutty' which seems to have given me tongue burn!
A quarter of a bowl left of year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was my first Sasieni. Bought it at my local Tinderbox for $9.95. Been taking photos and videos of the scampers. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Glengarry Flake in a Peterson Aran rusticated 128.
Kramer’s Father Dempsey in a Peterson Deluxe System 2s
Now smoking year 2012 Dan Tobacco Treasures of Ireland: Limerick in a straight smooth dark brown year 1912 Hall & Fitzgerald cased HFB billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem and orific bit.
GLP Navigator in a Pete SH Hudson
Carter Hall would suite the King's clay well.@TN Jed Do you think it would be a good baccy for the King's Clay? One of the redcoats shared his tobacco pouch with the Clay King! Peterson Connoisseur's Choice in Ye Olde Clay; the Clay King will have to buy a tin:
Peterson Connoisseur's Choice Pipe Tobacco - 50g Tin

Happy Belated Birthday
2006 HH Vintage Syrian in a Ferndown. Drinking a bit of Frapin VSOP to relax the muscles.
Just finished up some Balkan Supreme in an estate Nording that I cleaned up and put a new stem on. Anyone notice a hint of chocolate in BS, or is there a ghost in my pipe?
