Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a black sandblast PSB medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 228/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
Needed a relatively short smoke to get me to dinner time, so it's year 2021 KBV Your Welcome in a straight smooth dark brown 1930s (Comoy’s) Canadian Club 230 eight paneled billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Spring finally arrived today. Enjoying a little sun and Vitamins D and N on this beautiful afternoon with Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake in an almost new Briarworks pipe.
Gawith Hogarth & co. Whisky twist in a Czech basket pipe. 
GLP Windjammer (rubbed out instead of folded this time) in natural Lee pear while it’s twin with dark stain undergoes a salt soak.
Do any bulks come close to the rummy figgy spiciness of Windjammer? LNF400?

I might be looking it but I ain't feeling, I also groomed a couple of days ago might of made a difference lol.
I’m assuming that’s you in the Avatar? But WOW, you look 15-20 years younger in this pic!
Nice pic, be well!
P.S. Might want to change that avatar to the younger looking you.
What's your take on the Brown Sugar Flake?
Ennerdale Flake in the Pollock clay yesterday. Met 2 fellow pipe smokers in Chesterfield; one of them let me have a pipeful of his mixed blend containing some Black Cherry & Condor; I think there might have been a bit of twist in it as there were some big pieces of leaf mixed in. When I photographed the clay pipe smoking re-enactors at Bolsover, Cromford & Nantwich Dad says I probably got more of the pipe than they did!
Country Squire "Fine Then" in a silver banded Peterson shape 69
2011 McClelland Blue Mountain in a 1901 Sam McLardy & Co. Meerschaum with a vulcanite stem.
I swore I was giving up Latakia, but when @Ben.R.C said;
“Bankside, is a damn work of art.”
This caught my attention, @Ben.R.C I also just ordered a tin, let you know when it arrives, I hope I enjoy it.
So, I had to pull out the Blue Mountain, it had been ages since I smoked it, or any other Latakia. I figured, you can’t wrong with a McClelland blend right? LOL
It’s very sweet for Latakia, quite interesting. I need to sip very slow and easy, as Lats, can really irritate the roof of my mouth.
Be well everyone!

Oh and at the time of said profile pic I was working 7 days a week for around six months straight at that time and only eating 1 big meal for dinner. But as you can see from the meer pic I am done working 7 days a week, eating 3 meals a day and own a double wide and an acre of property near a lake and waterfall (pics coming soon) at 31 years old. More then most my family can say, I'm sure some here know Nambe Falls, about a mile from there. I never stopped buying pipes and tobacco though and the hard work paid off.
and the hard work paid off.
Wowee the wind is up on this otherwise gorgeous afternoon! 35-50 gusts on top of a base 20 mph.
Grilled some steaks tonight is beautiful 60 degree weather. Now, sitting back with some Country Squire 500th final episode in my Paul’s pipe with some Sazerac rye
@PipeIT Not a fan of Latakia myself; I don't like the smell or taste and it always seems to irritate my throat. The Clay King last smoked a clay bowl of Latakia at Nottingham pipe show last year; I think it sounds like a cheap car made in Syria before civil war broke out.2011 McClelland Blue Mountain in a 1901 Sam McLardy & Co.

@UB 40 recommends I get a tin of Sillem's Musketeer and says it would be the perfect tobacco for the Clay King:
I love the tin art!
@Puffaluffaguss I'm not buying any more pipes this year; I've already got at least 3 or 4 boxes of claysOh and at the time of said profile pic I was working 7 days a week for around six months straight at that time and only eating 1 big meal for dinner.
