Nothing crazy...just a nice bit of aged Rich Dark Flake in a Nazarenko blasted Anse. Hope everyone is enjoying their IPSD ‘21.

Ending a day to forget with some Davidoff Danish Mixture (first bowl and living up to expectations so far) in my Peterson Filter Bent Rhodesian. Seems to suit aromatics this pipe.
Happy IPSD, everyone! I have no photos, but this morning I went for a nice walk around the neighborhood, smoking some Cringle Flake. It was really the first time I've smoked a pipe in public (well, a tobacco pipe), so it was sort of a "coming out" for me. I feel a bit more confident about it now and would do it more, but there are only so many places I can do it since I can't wear a mask while smoking!
Anyway, it felt like a fitting celebration even though it was just me. I plan to do it a lot more as the weather improves. This morning was very nice - close to 30 and sunny!
Does anyone know of any YTPC livestreams this afternoon or evening?

Do you listen to audio books together? That's a nice idea! Do you do that on walks?
Well jeez, maybe I SHOULD decide on a "special" smoke for this evening. Hmmm...
YT's stance on tobacco use would likely get them shut down.
1996 Dunbar from my Ascorti New Dear bent egg is up next:
My first..... and last IPSD. It is better to have lived (and smoked Plum Pudding in an MM ozark) than never have been built at all.

Had to take a road trip today stopped at a tobacco shop for the wife and couldn’t help getting a treat for myself
For the occasion worked up the courage to try a bowl of Peterson’s Irish Flake that @mikethompson kindly gave me a sample of. Smoked it in a smaller Dr. Grabow and thoroughly enjoyed the blend. Found it to be smooth, burned cool and if treated with respect the nic hit was not a problem. I was definitely hit harder by HH ODF.
Will be having sushi for supper to celebrate my wife completing her latest novel and will have to decide on a blend for tonight.
Happy IPSD to everyone from the smoke shack!

Thank you ?That is stunning briar right there. Enjoy it!
?? But there are plenty of YTPC live streams in general, right? Not sure why you say this... I'm wondering if there are any tonight I should know about - celebrating IPSD. It's the first year I'm "observing."
Because others and myself have had videos deleted for inappropriate content, tobacco use.
I ended up cracking open a 6 year old tin of orlik golden sliced last night so I’ve been smoking since I’m done with chores. Wish I could have gone out somewhere but I did place a small order at smoking pipes on Thursday for ipsd.
I piped on a rather dry bowl of Capstan Blue in a Sav. Fantasia Rusticated 626 today, as I found a lost tin I’d bought last summer. It’s contents rubbed out, I couldn’t refuse, as I hadn’t had any in about half a year. It of course burnt a bit hot, but, with gentle puffing, it was very pleasant. Strangely, to my tastes, it seems the blend has been usurped of its high status rather easily in my mind by the other straight VA flakes I’ve been recently going at. Not surprising, and not to say that C.B is bad in any way, but, still. My opinion is that one could grab well over two pounds of better flake per pound of C.B tins, but, I digress. Very little point in continuing on about my personal preferences and tastes. More in topic, I placed an order yesterday for the last 500g bag of my favorite blend, along with a 8 oz. tin of G.L. Pease’s Union Square, both to cellar. In the way of pipes, along with a boatload of filters, I ordered a Savinelli Marte Smooth 121 KS today, as I’ve been meaning to get my hand on a pot for a while. Strangely enough, it actually slipped my mind today was IPSD as I was ordering it. Busy busy. The good news is that this latest pipe purchase should be the last of my pipe purchases for a long while, as, with this new pot, I’ll have 5 Savinelli’s, a Chacom, and a MM corncob, which is more pipes than I think I’ll need for the foreseeable future. Now it’s just time to focus on cellaring. Happy ISPD all!

Firstly, happy IPSD to everyone. Hope you all have had/are having an enjoyable day.
No smoke today, had to cram it in yesterday. Snowing this morning, 40 mph winds this afternoon, and into the evening. high 20s most of the day.
May 31st is World No Tobacco Day (seriously! look it up). I shall postpone today's bowl for that day, with several others in the meantime.
