Relaxing after a difficult appendectomy with Escudo in a Tsuge in my garage. Wishing I could ride the HD but with rain and high in the 40’s over the weekend probably mean I will be posting quite a bit on this forum instead.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am passing the quarter mark on this bowl of D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Working and listening to Jack Armstrong, The All American boy from my collection of radio shows.
That’s a nice little pipe there. Is it filtered by chance?
MB HH Pure Virginia flake folded and stuffed in the Full Pete. Been hankering for some HH Pure for a few days now. Wind has dropped, some red wine on the side.. it's a dark night out there, tonight.
Sam Gawith Saint James Flake in a Briarworks Handmade by Bill Shalosky
This has some age on it

yes. this is delivering just what i was wanting. HH Pure proves it place. This. is. bliss.
Just finished smoking Watch City Queequeg’s Moby Dick Series in a straight brown sandblasted post-WWII family era Sasieni “Canadian” London Made with a sterling silver band with a tapered black vulcanite twin bore stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
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.
Bayou Morning in a George Boyadjiev.
Not far from finishing this bowl of Low Country Pipe & Cigar Natural Virginia & Burley in a 2020 straight black sandblasted Merchant Service “Bing” Standard with a nickel band and tapered black vulcanite stem.
Now smoking Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Fed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave, both of whom were waiting at the door for food. I have noticed lately that when I give attention to one, the other gets jealous and starts demanding a share of it. I sure wish I could find a home for them so they could be the indoor, outdoor cats they want to be, and get the time and attention they deserve.
Finished work for the day, and am almost half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger stood at the entrance to the den with that "You're late in feeding us" look. Glad they weren't armed!
A third of a bowl left of year 2022 Prince Albert in a 2019 straight smooth dark brown Merchant Service “Bing” Special with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. This'll do it for me today.
Looks very nice. I was thinking of buying the standard system XL315. It has exactly the same shape, but it is bigger.
Had some well aged Full Virginia Flake in a couple pipes I made. Big thanks to @AJL67 for sending the FVF samples!
After smoking this 305, I would recommend the XL 315 just because of the bigger size, the 305 runs out of tobacco just when your getting comfortable.
Germains Brown Flake in a Two Point Imperial, coffee ots. Have a good weekend all.
