I bought a 264 Aran smooth today. Sadly, it was as if there was no draft hole. I couldn’t get a hint of air through the pipe. So I returned it

6 year old Wessex Burley Slice in a lattice globe meer.
Nice evening by the fire pit. Temp is about 78 degrees. Started with an aromatic but it wasn’t burning or tasting good, so I put it aside. Maybe the recent rain and higher than normal humidity. Grabbed another pipe and enjoying some Nightcap.
G&H Bob's Chocolate Flake in a Peterson Aran 69 more or less dedicated to the blend.
Now smoking year 2022 Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a straight smooth ebony post-WW2 LHS Sterncrest 91 bulldog with a sterling silver band, a diamond shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Listening to the Dodgers-Angels game.
That is strange, man. A least you could return it.
Just finished a sorely needed jam session with some friends that was chicken soup for the soul. Going “lunting” for my first time with Bob’s Chocolate Flake in a smooth Peterson System Standard 312 with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Sipped on a lovely bowl of Capstan Blue tonight. Decided to try cube cutting it instead of rolling it out or folding it. I noticed it changed some of the flavors. Might be my favorite preparation it will need a few more experiments
2015 Doblone d’Oro in my Alden bamboo billiard.
Second bowl of Steam Works today. This time in my 70’s era Calich and at a more appropriate hour. Not really a morning smoke IMO as it packs a punch. Should always read @JimInks reviews before smoking a new blend, not after. 
No, I’m just too lazy to take a new photo for each smoke. Nonetheless, HH Burley Flake was an excellent smoke in it.
I’m going to report you to the moderators! This has to go against one of their policies!!!
Always go through Ybor City when in Tampa.
I don't drink coffee anymore.....especially THEIR coffee.
I do and i did! And it was decent, strong, cuban-style stuff. Needed a hit since i went to a restaurant in Gainesville earlier in the morning and i learned not to drink regular restaurant coffee around here the last couple times i was in town. Crappy pics due to the phone cam and dim lighting in the cigar lounge, but, here goes...
Tabanero EL. This was a pretty dang good stick. Will pick up more from them next drive down, for sure.
@PaulRVA , I smoked the Eltang basic and it’s a keeper. Super light and comfortable….packing it up for the road. Appreciate the suggestion.
Hope everyone is enjoy8mg the weekend. Warm, peaceful night here in NC. Smoking some Chenet’s cake in an Ilsted.
Now smoking Wilke Hearth of Galway in an undated smooth straight medium brown made in France Saillard Lord Clerit lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Glad to hear that. I’ve found them to be indispensable when working in the yard or for a quick smoke.
Light, smokes great and easy to clench. Hope your road trip is enjoyable and the work you mentioned goes well too.
Watch City English Ernie-ental in a Stanwell POTY 2024 bent acorn.
