Enjoying some Peterson Flake in my Savinelli 313 Prince. It’s been so windy today that I had resigned myself to giving it a miss, but it’s starting to calm down and I found a spot on the side of the house where I could light a match successfully.

Yesterday my wife and I went up to Traverse City for the day to celebrate her bday. Stopped in to Nolan’s to see what pipes they had picked up some tobacco. Trying their Downtown Special tonight in my 50’s Rossi with an old fashion.

My best time is the Round 3 (54min); Round 4 my baccy burned to ash after 42min despite managing to coax every the embers back to life before it eventually died...
Smoked all my pipe baccy now; practicing for clay pipe smoking competitions takes a LOT of pipe baccy...

@ThermionicScott It was VERY windy the day I went to see the Sealed Knot at Bolsover Castle back in 2019; Dad says I spent all day trying to light my clay
Managed to smoke one of my clays for 54 minutes without relighting! My best time ever!
Got some turkey hunting in this morning and yard work done this afternoon.
Winding down with some more Pennsylvania Dutch Treat from Boswell’s.

Lane Limited HGL, a mild smooth-burning aromatic, in a MM/C&D collaboration bent cob with a dark tortoise shell stem. Barbecue pork with slaw sandwich for my wife and beef brisket for me, with potato salad for both for early supper. Small Trader Joe peanut butter cups and vanilla ice cream for dessert. Water with ice for my pipe beverage.
Laurent, years ago my late wife and I camped near Traverse City and it stormed. We got up in the morning and wrung out everything we could and still packed our gear pretty wet. When I left, we circled the camp ground on our way out, and my wife felt much better seeing how all the other campers were as miserable as we were. The old saying, complain not about what all must suffer alike.

2018 Curly Block in my MarTelo billiard.
KBV Mycroft in a Morgan Bones Brandy…delicious, sitting next to my Radice. Quite the contrast…cold beer and some southern rock
What a great pipe. Loved the wood-like stem!
GLP Quiet Nights In ordinary Freehand.
LJ Peretti Ampersand in Savinelli Venzia Author.
FVF in a Falcon with Bantam bowl is my choice for tonight.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, giant porterhouse steak, mashed potatoes and sweet corn dinner with a third of a freshly made Boston creme pie for dessert. I'm nearing the last quarter of this bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
London Dock in my Kiko African meerschaum. Despite the fact that this blend is an aromatic, my wife hates the room note. She prefers SWR and Pegasus. Go figure
And we're done for today
LC Hazelnut and Chocolate mint Rooibos

Wilke’s Rum and Maple in Classic Roadtown bulge.
Off to work with a bowl of 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.
Cornell & Diehl Sun Bear Black Locust from June 2021 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
