Beautiful pipe, man, that finish is mesmerizing.
Also electrolyte water is essential, good choice. Beats my choice of tequila by a country mile.

Beautiful view there Bob, and stunning pipe as well.
Now smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2018 full bend smooth Terracotta Peterson XL315 System Standard military mount with a nickel cap and a flared black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Tomato the Brave came in to eat and run back out. I'll let Harry the Hairy in after I post this smoke.
2021 Haddo's Delight in my Savinelli 316KS as some owls are hooting.
Just popped the tin and first time trying this blend that has mesmerized me since I first came across it when started seriously shopping-up for the cellar, waaaay back in 2022.
Tin note is wonderfully rich with a little fermented tang, a whiff of cocoa, and yes a hint of rum. This first bowl though seemed a bit muted. Now that the tin's been cracked, I expect a few weeks will let it open up. I have high expectations!

Early morning smoke of Amphora Original Brown in a BBB Silcer Grain 675 full size long billiard
Enjoyed a little low calorie snacking, and am near the first third of this bowl of year 2015 Mac Baren Modern Virginia in a medium bend, smooth dark brown 1950s Peterson 999 Shamrock chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Daisy the Feral Princess has been by my feet since my last post. Harry the Hairy wanted out a few minutes ago. Tomato the Brave is enjoying the great outdoors, too.
Enjoying Sutliff Z50 Black Cordial 
with a smattering of Cigar Leaf (~20%), in the Vermont Freehand Cherrywood Morta. With sparkling water, also cherry.
It's a Cherry Trifecta!!

Hope you all have a great evening!

Last smoke of the day is year 2020 Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. Daisy the Feral Princess just went out, and the other two ferals weren't around. I'll check again in a few minutes. Otherwise, I'm reading while this bowl lasts.
Peretti Nr. 333 in an Irish Seconds System 302.
In the bullpen for tonight: American Viking "The Filthy Viking" cigar, and Harveys Medium-Dry Sherry. 
Setting up to watch some China Open tennis
out of Beijing.
A quiet night, both outside and on the thread.
Cheers!

Finishing this morning's Two Friends Redwood in the Brigham Rideau Canal Skater. 
Low Country Natural Virginia and Burley in a Radice Rind.
Is the Redwood fresh? Newly designed? Or are you smoking an old aged blend?
MacBaren Uncut Navy Flake in this Savinelli 9mm 320 shape.(Author).
All of you are familiar with today's first smoke. Maybe you have a childhood memory of a grandfather or father smoking it.
Today I am firing up some Prince Albert in my Stanwells billiard.
For me, living in Sweden, this blend is almost impossible to get. I saw a lot about this blend on YouTube, messageboards and well all social media pipe smoking.
So what do I think about it?
I really like it, it's mild, soft, and burns excellently, and has a nice nutty, earthy, and chocolate taste.
If this were available in my country, for the same price as in the USA, it would be my daily smoke.
