McClelland 40th Anniversary in a Howell.
Arango Balkan Supreme from December 2019 in a Dunhill Shell Cherrywood Poker from 1976
Bayou Morning in an Il Duca Apple
Now smoking year 2015 H&H Viprati in a 2018 smooth straight flame grain Basil Meadows Merchant Service "Bing" replica with an aluminum band and black ebonite stem. Just finished this Archie story, and will do a little on the next one.
Early week walk and a pipe. Ennerdale in a Wayne Teipen along the way. 
I just realized I’d been neglecting the fleabay meer lately, so I loaded up some Lane Black Raspberry to catch up a tad…
Doblone d'Oro in a 2014 smooth Castello G lovat
Davidoff Flake Medallions in a Castello Collection Billiard.
Went to the local B&M hoping to snag a tin of the new GLP, Geomtrie, but they didn't have any. They did have Bankside though, and I hadn't tried that one either so grabbed a tin. Smoking some now in an Ashton Pebble Grain billiard. I think this is a pretty special tobacco, and I am really impressed. The smoky nature of the Latakia and DFK are really noticeable in the first 10-15 minutes or so, to the extent that I wondered if this should really be considered a VA-based blend or more of an English/Latakia blend.... But after that, the flavors come really begin to express those VA flavors. All the while the DFK and Latakia provide depth and balance and a pretty full body for a VA.
When your day at work makes you want to breath fire but all you can manage is smoke....
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Half way through this bowl of Angler's Dream in a 1984 Stanwell Antique 124 egg with a smooth brown front and a black sandblasted back with a dark gold ferrule and black vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Fed the ferals, and ended work for the day.
Last smoke of the day is C&D Virginia Flake in straight medium brown 1922-1937 Irish Free State era Peterson 222 bullcap with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Reading baseball box scores while this bowl lasts.
it's late but Finally done with..oh you know, the thing.
. So .
Again with the Peretti British Blend in the Royal Ascot Supreme bulldog. Water with a splash of iced tea on the side. This is one of those blends that 2nd smoke of sample resulted in 1/2# already in the cellar.
