Never made it to the Chancellor last night so it's on hold...the Mattox cutty smoked well but it is ghosted with some sour crap I'll work on it...3 estates came in today very very clean. Weber, Owl Club, and a Dulwich. Using British Imperial for the test run, Sprite the beverage, and the Stones Hot Rocks the sound track. Hump day is in the books!

Beautiful inspiration sir! Interesting are the thoughts that guide the choice to leave a piece unaltered, a way of saying "why upset it"?
Reiner Long Golden Flake in a Paulsson.
Just finished smoking year 2007 Astley’s No. 109 in a smooth brown straight circa 1950s-60s BBB Contrast 506 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. More Community Coffee brewing.
Now smoking Wilke Hearth of Galway in an undated smooth straight medium brown made in France Saillard Lord Clerit lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Folklore in a Kaywoodie Drinkless shape 8767.
Smoking a Willard Dublin shaped pipe full of Telescopes tobacco. What’s that you say, Telescopes? Never heard of it? Hmmm I’ve been smoking near Forty years. That’s Farty for you folks in South Saint Louis.
Ennerdale in a Ropp Canadian.
After chopping up and re-hydrating my 2022 tin of Ennerdale (including vegitable glycerine), I think it is smoother and more flavorful moist than it was straight out of the tin, but this is still nothing like the old tins.
Of course it always was the case that the best flavor only lasted a short time after opening the tin, bulk samples never had the same oomph, so what we're getting in tins now is more like what the bulk was 10 years ago.
Before smoking this Ennerdale again I'm going to reinforce it with fresh essences.

Brebbia Classica Argento lovat (1980s) x Balkan Sasieni
HH Old Dark Fired in a Caminetto bent egg.
Whole day of CPR, First response and small fire fighting with the trusty cob and Mac barren classic loose cut
Did a little snacking, and am smoking Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Meistermischung Nr. 88 in an Altinay.
The building is an old Turkish bathhouse that has since been converted into a museum. There is a strong contingent in Sofia that wants to see the building return to its original function.

PiedmontPipe, good thoughts and prayers for a successful operation and speedy recovery.
Now smoking 2021 Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Best wishes, @PiedmontPipe !

Linda prepared homemade vegetable soup for dinner, and a cooked chocolate pudding for dessert. After this hearty meal, I stuffed a flake of ten-year-old Full Virginia Flake into a small clay for a post prandial smoke.
