Wrapping up an entirely too-busy workday...at least I am at home and can smoke this MM Legend full of Vanilla Black Cavendish. Smoked a bowl of Mac Baren Navy Flake earlier in the day, too.
Added a pinch of SP xx dark flake to the 50:50 mix of Bryonic and Jupiter slices today. And it's Fantastico! The addition of the perique spice to the retrohale andded a great depth of flavor and body.
In a Dublin Comoy 120.

Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong Flake (not the ODSK pictured?) in a Peterson Republic Era 45-style Tankard w/P-lip. Dark Fired leaf really sings in this pipe.
Mainly the moisture content, I haven’t run across anything from SG that took less than a month to get to a smoking level. Cellaring it, it becomes sweeter to me and I get more nuttiness from it, a more sublime, oriental forward, EMP.

4th Generation 1855 in a Radice Clear 0 Billiard.
Having some Blackhouse in a no-name rusticated apple. It’s a chilly one today, and if it wasn’t for all of the leaf buds and pollen induced stuffiness, I’d think it was November. Not to fear though, the weekend looks fine and I’m gonna go fishing.
Neighbors across the street have actually crossed a line with me. They’ve installed the absolute brightest light imaginable below the eaves on the front of their house, and it shines directly through my front windows and lights up my living room. It’s searchlight-bright, stadium light bright, beyond anything reasonable, and i hate it. Predictably, they have not come outside since installing the light, so I haven’t had a chance to tell them to aim it somewhere else. I may have to break out the pellet gun...

GH Dark plug, a gift from a gentleman and a scholar. Hopefully a review to follow, if I am still standing 
Tell them it must have been a power surge
About a third of a bowl left of Watch City Eureka! in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a brown pearl acrylic saddle stem.
Now smoking MacBaren Three Nuns Green in a 2018 smooth straight flame grain Basil Meadows Merchant Service "Bing" replica with an aluminum band and black ebonite stem. Running low on this sample now.
Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique in a Savinelli 606KS Bianca.
Just finished up a smoke of some Sammy G Chocolate Flake in a MM country gentleman.
Having some Amphora Virginia Blend in an Ashton Old Church
best brown in a stanwell, one of my favorite smokers
Dunhill mini Churchwarden or 'Cutty' which I believe is the proper term due to its similarity to an old clay pipe shape (even without a heel or spur under the bowl) - Root Briar in a dinky Group 1 bowl size . . . another from 1980 + Peterson 3Ps baccy:-
Finished off my tin of Brunello Flake in this Ian Barnes reverse calabash tubos. The blend is good but not good enough for me to get any more of it.
Wilke 191 in a Bones stubby brandy... finally relaxing for the evening and waiting for the chicken cacciatore
Le Petit Robin in a Eltang sailor, drinking black coffee.
