We've been sitting around laughing about this tin of Purple Cow on the shelf so much, I pulled the trigger and bought it. Passing around now while I pack some in this Moonshine Stublin.

Did a set of walking reps on this beautiful sunny day, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Tomato the Brave walked with me for a couple of minutes. He kept pouncing on my feet because he was in play mode every time I got near my house. Harry the Hairy stood driveway guard as usual.
Today feels like an old Jobey day. Jobey 015 Asti slightly bent and partially rusticated, smoking a bowl of Peter Heinrichs English.
Jobey 165 Compact baby bent appleish billiard smoking Jack Knife ready rubbed.
About 1/4th the way through a bowl of 1998 St James Woods McClelland in a Billy Sanders “Tyger Pup”
Not such a pretty picture, but oh so good smoke. With the backdrop of my Zen garden and tomato plants.

G.L. Pease Abingdon in a Nording Signature Freehand. This was my first ever Nording when higher grade Nordings were just a pipe dream, but it's still one of my favorite pipes. It was also one of my first unstained and unwaxed pipes and began my love of Nordings and of unfinished pipes. It has colored beautifully, and I feel like that natural coloring has accelerated over the last few smokes. It looks great, it smokes great. Man, I just love this thing. 
How about a review of the Luminaire? It’s on my “to try” list and is on my “save for later” shopping cart at SP.
Having a bowl of GH Sweet Black Cherry Twist in a Kaywoodie. 
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am 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. Gold Star Peruvian Macchu Picchu, neat, is my drink. Watching the Cubs-D-Backs game, and getting ready to clean a few pipes. Sleepy Suzy is by my side just purring away. How she can do that for so long is beyond me.
‘24 The Beast in a Wessex lovat.
Good day all! Starting this second day of the Triduum with the somber and reflective SG 1792 Flake. The third day of the Triduum- where Earth, Heaven and even the Angels are silent - will be Bengal Slices mixed with 1792 Flake for gravitas.
Just beginning a bit of 5 yr old Opening Night in an IMP whilst reading this with a cuppa 
️. Everyone have a good weekend & Happy Easter.

A third of a bowl left of year 2016 Newminister 400 Superior Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown year 1948 Parker Super Bruyere patent 23 88/F bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
If you're into non-lat orientals i'd definitely say pull the trigger. This one is a sleeper, IMO. One of my favorite new finds for 2024.
About to get a bowl of 2009 Escudo going in the new Fehmi Yavuz saucer.
2022 Eight State Burley in a Christmas 2023 Peterson 150. I'm living in the past!
Second bowl of Study in Scarlet in the Wessex billiard.
