I call it the Easter Bunny Tree.
Still waxing cars. Reloaded the yard cobs with Burley Delight 212.
Brair's Own from The Brair Patch in La Crosse WI in a 4th Gen bent brandy.
A VERY busy day today! Picked 9 bags of rubbish & dropped some soft plastic recycling off at the Co-Op and Angela in Newbold. Found GBP1.15 and an unopened can of Dr Pepper. Didn't know it predates Coca Cola by a year! Got given 2 cans of soda pop to drink while working & 2 cigarettes. Cleared all the cigarette butts from my cul de sac as well!
Gawith Autumn Flake in a Pete B42 Spigot
Geometrie in the Radice Clear E.
My second bowl of this new plug. Having a similar experience to the first.
Sliced off a thick flake and then used scissors to snip very thin "cubes".
Charring light and first couple minutes have been VERY bitey to me. Like OUCH WTF! It quickly calms down and develops a heavy oriental flavor with Virginia undertones.
If you dig the sweet and sour, tangy, herbaceous and floral type flavors from oriental varietals, you can get lost in this one.
It's not until the halfway point or later that I get any strong red Virginia notes.

Cracked open a jar of Plum Pudding I put away in 2013. Have been smoking it for the last several days in a couple of Morgan Bones
Nice little Easter walk along the Soquee River today with the wife and kiddos. Kajun Kake from a Barker sandblast enjoyed with a seltzer 
10 and Rose or 11 and Amy? I can never decide which pairing is my favorite. The pipe and tobacco pairing, on the other hand, seems indisputable!
A beautiful day in the "Land of Enchantment" a big bowl of Penzance which is the last of a bag that was generously given to me by a generous member. in a Castello trademark 4k and my family's horses, the white is named Galaxy and is my oldest daughters and the brown is Pinto and belongs to the mother n law. We have 1 more named Padre but he's a bit old on not in such a hurry to eat my hair 
. Oh and @PipeIT do i look younger or older today.
. Oh and @PipeIT do i look younger or older today.3 month old Newminster 400 superior navy flake in my Christmas spigot. Impatiently waiting for the pound I bought to age.
Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a golden delicious apple and a bunch of unsalted peanuts on the side. I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Jamaican Reserve, neat, is my drink.
Home from church, grill is primed for chicken and the beer is cold. Listening to some baseball. Mark Twain in a favorite T Cook, Amarillo Texas made in USA partially rusticated Canadian. Enjoying Easter

The “Four Seasons” range is a collaboration between Samuel Gawith & Stanislow. These four flakes represent the British seasons, each with a distinct taste associated with the time of year. The Autumn flake is comprised of a beautifully blended medium Virginia flake. This finely cut tobacco...

Samuel Gawith - Cannon Plug
Cannon Plug is arguably one of the oldest tobaccos still in productions. Rumours of records for its use during the civil war have been circulating on line for years. What begins as delightful medium blend of Virginia tobaccos, pressed and aged for a cool and nutty flavour. Best brown flake is...

Been litter picking today; I keep finding an AWFUL lot of discarded single use e-cigs / vapes. I think these are the modern equivalent of clay pipe fragments and I HATE them!
I've heard clay pipe fragments described as the C17-19 equivalent of cigarette butts. I must have found enough cigarette ends to fill my pipe a MILLION TIMES (Figure of speech - they're disgusting)...
Picked all the cigarette butts up out of the cul de sac to complete todays record litter picking session!
