Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am half way through this bowl of year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Everybody's eaten. Daisy the Feral Princess is the only one who stayed in, and she's by my feet. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is in bed.
Good eye, @Goblin_Walrus -- I'm pretty sure it's darkened quite a bit.
to photos in the same lighting, but
EDIT: I just took a new photo on my desk, in I think similar lighting to the old photo. So, here's a comparison.

Did some low calorie snacking, and am smoking well aged Art’s Virginia in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth Rhodesian meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. The pipe and tobacco were gifts from my late friend Art Arterburn. The blend is 80% McClelland Va.s and 20% McClelland burley. 4Noggins sold it for several years. Enjoying quiet reading time.
Enjoyed a tasty red delicious apple, and am half way through this bowl of 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. Harry the Hairy came in to nibble and is laying on the den floor. Daisy the Feral Princess is still by my feet. I'll look to see if Tomato the Brave is around soon.
Last smoke of the day is first production Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a straight smooth brown undated Gesandt Canadian Made in England with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe was originally owned by Poul Schluter, who was the Prime Minister of Denmark from 1982-1993. When I let Tomato the Brave in to eat, Harry the Hairy waited until Tomato passed him, and he jumped over Sleepy Suzy, who was laying on the floor by the door, and went outside. Suzy gave him a look and then looked at me as if to say, "That boy ain't normal." Hard to argue with her.
I just turned on this 1982 Billiard Birdseye from Leslie (Wood) and Jim (Craig) Silverware (L&JS)
with Peterson Edition 2018, it's already a pleasure to smoke in the morning.

Sleep was non-existent, so I finally gave up, played a little with Tomato the Brave, and fed Molly Danger. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a 1991 Ashton Brindle X straight brown sandblast dublin with a square shank and tapered square acrylic cumberland stem. Going to do more reading.
