Weather is wonderful here, so having another bowl. This time some "Bat with a Hat" in a Peterson Donegal Rocky with iced coffee again.

Enjoyed a bowl of SG Squadron Leader with Perique and then Peterson Elizabethan.

The music is on, the whiskey is poured and the pipe is loaded... now for a few hours of late work and other stuff.

WCC Old Dominion in a Peterson 106 Phoenix and a glass of Bushmill's single malt.

Just finished C&D Opening Night in a BST Bent Billiard.

Just finished some "Mystery blend #2" in a Savinelli dry system with water to drink. Both mystery blends were flakes and seemed similar to me. Still learning the ins and outs of flakes and need to make sure I dry them enough. Can't wait to find out what these were at the end of the month.

Please share what the mystery blends are at the end of the month. I'm intrigued by the concept.

I'm also intrigued by the Mutton Chop Piper smoke of the month club promotion with Boswells (I think) where he lists a tobacco of the month with a 1 ounce purchase and people review it online. Decent in theory but I'm curious how it works in practice.

Smoker’s Haven Exotique Mixture in a Dunhill Tanshell Diplomat from 1977

1999 Old Gowrie in my Jesse Jones bamboo billiard. I just got this pipe back today, after 5 years I decided to try out Blue Room Briars’ lifetime refurbishment program for the first time. Turnaround was only about a week and the cleanup was expert- not a micron of material out of place on the stem. Makes sense as Jesse is the one doing the restoration!

Tobaccopipes.com should share what they are and as soon as I find out I'll post. Just started trying flake tobaccos and these came in. Its a nice concept. You get to try two blends with no preconceptions.

GH&C Louisiana Flake in this Savinelli Autograph of which I am a fan (get it?) with some Costco XO Cognac:

2017 Dunhill Flake in a Castello Collection Billiard.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching Wanted: Dead Or Alive.

Just finished a bowl of Three Nuns in a F Yavuz Gourd Calabash. I did find the Calabash mutes the flavor, much moreso than the falcon. Thats not to say it wasnt good, it was incredibly mild and cool in the calabash, reminiscent of Broken Scotch Cake.

I think this coin shines in a clay. So i've loaded a Markus Fohr Bishop and Knight clay with it.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Jubilaeum Flake in a post-WWII Bertram 60 straight smooth dark brown squat bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Going to work now.
