I polished off the GH&Co Kendal Black Cherry, wasn't sure what I wanted next so I just went with SG Firedance. I kind of like this one too, flakes look cool, wasn't expecting that, they actually look like flames.
Some hits are slightly peppery, weird being it's just virginia. The flavoring though is really good, wish it was a tad stronger on the sauce, but at least I don't have to hunt for it, it does make its presence known, it's just not loud about it. Figured I would like this though, as I love blackberries. Something like this but raspberry flavored would be awesome too.

Near the finish of this bowl of Low Country Carolina Christmas 2025 in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a tapered dark tortoise shell colored acrylic stem. Been reviewing it. Cleaned a few pipes and fed cats, too.
Smoking Full Virginia Flake in the Peterson Pub silver cap
Carolina Red Flake in a Kaywoodie Super Grain 5071.
Now smoking and reviewing Low Country Carolina Christmas 2025 in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Having some Mac Baren HH Rustica Ready Rubbed in the no name Eagle Claw. 
WOW ... now Nov 12 & up to page 81 (!).
Smoking some Mac Baren Navy Mixture in a Rossi Canadian. Had an excellent Veteran's Day complimentary dinner last night at Applebee's, including a large glass of Sam Adams Octoberfest. Several offerings but chose the 6oz sirloin w/mashed taters & green beans. Chili's also offers Veteran's Day dinners, but Applebee's is fun & always has a good "vibe" on Nov 11. Listened to couple folks comparing Army Basic Training to Navy Boot Camp.
Seemed appropriate to smoke a Navy tobacco today. My Dad received a Purple Heart after his LST was hit with a Zero, causing him to fall backwards off some type of a mast he was doing electrical work on.

Keith, you certainly own some beautiful pipes and this is no exception....
Man, Speak, I love that claw.........
Wonderful comments, Sandblast. We appreciate the sacrifice and service of your dad!!
Part way through this bowl of year 2012 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DR 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Norton the Nosey and Molly Danger had several encounters. He's trying to be friendly, and she hates other cats so it's a challenge to keep peace between them. He's lying on my feet again.
Thank ya, sir. It was an unsmoked estate. I’d never seen one with the talons textured and thought I had better add it to the lineup! It smokes great too. Little larger than I normally smoke and this Rustica has got me wondering what standing up is gonna be like.
Your new pipe is a gem as well. One day I might join that club too!

Ending today with some GLP Quiet Nights in a new to me Uhle’s Aged Algerian poker with saddle bit with water and the Solo stove. Wondering if I can capture some northern light views or photos all the way down here in TN.
Cracked in to a new tin of C&D From Beyond. Puffing on that in a Savinelli Siena Author. Nice smoke so far, seems very pepper forward on this bowl but the various Latakias offer delightful smoky notes to compliment with the orientals popping in to make their statements. So far I'm glad I snagged a few tins of this.
2021 Salty Dogs with a pinch of Molto Dolce in the WDC Royal Demuth "V for Victory" pipe.
