Mid 1980s DR. PLUMB PEACEMAKER 3 ENGLAND
+ Samuel Gawith BLACK FOREST
+ Samuel Gawith BLACK FOREST
Lane Limited BL/WB in a Butz Choacquin now that the wind has calmed a bit.
RDF in Brigham straight apple. Nice ending to the weekend.
Plum Pudding in a Rossi 8122, while listening to some jazzy blues on the radio.
Louisiana Flake in a freehand sitter by Negoita:
Hal O the Wynd in a 1903 Peterson Footed Meer with Amber Stem
GLP Barbary Coast, a cubed burley based blend, in a Thompson (Cigar) house pipe also stamped "West Germany," an interesting freehand, smooth and slightly bent, with plateau on the brim, a gift from a couple, friends.
Just finished some Old Joe Krantz Blue in a Rossi Vittoria 614.
@UncleRasta you mentioned in an earlier post a while back about your Vittoria muting flavors. I didn't notice that in mine this time. It could have taken any rough edges off the blend if anything. So this series may in fact do what you suggest, but this blend was strong enough to overcome the muting. I'll keep an eye on it to see if I notice anything with other blends.

Some Cobblestone Hiking out of a Comoys Tradition.
GH Bosun Cut Plug in a German Clay.
Watching Star Trek: The Motion Picture with North Pole Peppermint Mocha.
Rubbed out a tiny sample of C&D Folklore (thanks @TheIronMonkey !) to try in my Foyard Beechwood Rhodesian. Tasty stuff! Very few birds this evening; Common raven, Northern flicker, Dark-eyed junco, and some assorted jays and sparrows, heard but not seen. Enjoying a Dos Equis Amber. Homemade chicken noodle soup (from scratch!) on the docket tonight, great for a cold evening.
How old were you? (If it were a photo of me, I'd be about 12 to still have that much hair!)
1999 McClelland Christmas Cheer in a Dunhill root briar apple.
Having Sutliff Balkan Sobranie Original Mix Match in a Peterson's 2021 Pipe of the Year 4AB with Terracotta finish, number 122/500.
Damn weekend ending. Post dinner Wilke PB&C in Radice silk Cut bent Dublin sitter. Wife asks if I want some cake. Nope. This smoke will do.
I did a lot of running around today, so this morning I had bowls of Watch City Stubb's Pipe and MacBaren London Burley. Now I'm smoking Watch City Old Dominion in a Georg Jensen bent brandy. I bought a few ounces almost a year ago and the first bowl of it when I first got it had this weird taste. It tasted like how toe jam smelled and it was kinda off putting. I put it in a jar and just opened it for the first time today and it is noticeably better. No weird funk. I kinda dig it now.
