Thank you Mr. Puffington, It’s a science puffing and enjoying a pipe all the while edging, chopping and mowing. You get into a cadence together with your cob and movement of work. A sign of a codger.

C&D Orion's Arrow in a Rattray's Outlaw #141 Grey Smooth with a cup of green tea.
Peter Heinrich’s Curly Block from April 2020 in the PCI Horn Meerschaum carved by Ahmet Govem Earlier.
Curiosity got the best of me, after a decade or so. EA Carey Magic Inch Super Bowl slightly bent large pot with brown stem, smoking C&D Granby Station, with a little newly arrived PP Special Reserve looking pretty in the background.
C&D From Beyond '23 in the new Altinay meer.
2017 Astleys 109 in a Ryan McCawley volcano. Enjoyed with some Gyokuro

Found some nice snap lid Ball jars on clearance at Walmart this week, just had to show @PrivatePiping what he created. I'm now sitting with a larger jar than anything else in my cellar apart from Plumcake and a legit fear to stock up before the blend eventually changes whenever they run out of Sutliff leaf
C&D St. Patrick's Day Reserve in a Hilson. It's crazy how light this pipe is. 
Relaxing after a plate and a half of freshly made shepard's pie with a small bowl of rocky road ice cream for dessert. I'm closing in on the half way mark of this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Gold Flake in a straight smooth brown Algerian briar post-WW2-mid 50s family era Barling’s Make Ye Olde Wood Special Made in England squat dublin with a tapered black ebonite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. Ice water and bergs is my drink this evening. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Harry the Hairy is on m'lady's lap getting a brushing. Getting ready to watch a news special about the newly released JFK files. I doubt there's any chance that much, if anything new pertaining to Kennedy's murder will be very revealing.
Anomalous in my Former bamboo billiard.
Glad you got that pipe! I was eyeing it just in case you didn’t. I did not need to spend any money.Ordered; thank you so much for helping me out yet again buddy
Cracked open a tin of Rattray’s Black Mallory purchased May 2020. Smoking in the Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
After getting my ass handed to me by wifey during our traditional Saturday Scrabble match (@Sobrbiker you'll be miffed to know that my attempt to do "Ryback" was successfully challenged), we headed out to the workroom, her with a Capone cigarillo, me with Savinelli 140th Anniversary in a Foyard beechwood Rhodesian. I'm sure they'll release something special next year for their 150th, but IMHO, it'll be virtually impossible to top this one. 9/10

Outside in the dark on a pleasant cool evening with some Black House.
Earlier this week I popped open a 5 year old jar of a mixture I slapped together on a whim one day which ended up being one of my favorite things to smoke. The basic recipe is 1 Peterson Irish Flake per 2 Capstan Blue flakes, with the flakes sliced and chopped into evenly sized slivers and thoroughly mixed.
I've enjoyed this mixture many times fresh. Honestly there isn't a huge difference in the aged version, except the Capstan Virginias stand out more and the Irish Flake mellowed out a bit. The end result is fantastic, to my palate. So much so that I can't stop salivating while smoking it, which is the only drawback. If you smoke it indoors, keep a spittoon handy lol

Thank you! And at the same time tell me about it.. I had no business buying another pipe either. I just placed a sizeable order at SmokingPipes for an estate pipe and a bunch of GH&Co tobacco yesterday
. But the next time a good deal pops up it's your turn to save us from temptation
For today's ZOOM meeting, I smoked some 50-year-old Wine Cured No. 11 from the long-gone English Pipe Shop in Chicago. I used my equally old Skipper pipe, a ring carved calabash, purchased at Harry Yablon's Gift and Tobacco Emporium in Skokie, Illinois (also a long-gone shop).
It was a good, mellow smoke, just a little "bitey".
A tumbler of Peach/Mango Green Tea, with plenty of bergs and a splash of Honey Jack Daniel's, was my drink.

Still sipping on this bowl of tightly stuffed Sweated. About three hours in and halfway through the bowl.
