Just went out to the fire pit, and fired up a bowl of Sun Bear Mountain Flower in a brand new cob. It's sunny, and 70° here next to Cape Cod and I'll be smoking outdoors enjoying the beautiful weather. Have a wonderful day ladies & gentlemen.

A third of a bowl left of early 2000s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
G.L. Pease Union Square in Alexander straight liverpool pipe.
Earlier, Capstan Gold RR in an Altinay.
Cupido Toro. Very windy day here in Florida, 15 to 25 mph gusting winds. Tough on my golf game.
@MidnightPuff Have you got any photos of your clay pipe?
@PaulTheScandinavian I think St Bruno is well suited to clay pipes as it's a traditional blend and doesn't burn too hot. I got 54 minutes out of a clay bowl of St Bruno Ready Rubbed.
C&D Yorktown in a 2022 Peterson Carroll of Carrollton with a cup of Earl Grey.
@hoosierpipeguy It's been very wet and windy here in England; I think it's the tail end of your hurricane! Windy weather always makes me think of the day I went to see the Sealed Knot at Bolsover Castle; Dad says I spent all day trying to light my clay pipe!
@Skink I was smoking Yorktown at the Redcoats & Revolutionaries event at Cromford Mill; an appropriate baccy for the Redcoats as it's named after the Battle of Yorktown. This is the baccy I was smoking in my clay pipe when the blacksmith lit it with an ember from his forge!
I just ordered a Carroll of Carrollton this morning. Nice looking pipe.
GH Cherry Vanilla in a Pollock clay.
Met a fellow pipe smoker in Chesterfield smoking this blend and I love the smell of it. I caught the smell of his baccy as I walked past and he recommended I get some.
Got 4 bags of rubbish today, had a well earned drink of white wine at the Batch House on Whittington Moor and got my empty bottle filled. 175ml measure but my small wine bottle holds 189ml so I got a bit of free wine! Will get a free drink with my loyalty card I found while litter picking; reward for my monster effort!
Giving up or cutting down on certain items that come in soft plastic packaging such as crisps, biscuits, chocolate, sweets etc; I can still have them when I'm on the go or during my volunteer days but won't be buying them as part of my regular online grocery shop. One thing I like about living history re-enactment is the absence of plastic but some of the things I'd need for re-enactment events (such as cheese, bacon etc) come in plastic packaging...

Did a set of walking reps, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Lunch follows this smoke.
2019 WCC Rhythm & Blues in a 2020 Ashton X Pebble Grain.
Mac Baren HH Bold Kentucky in Stanwell De Luxe 15 sandblaster.
GLP Geometrie in a Raimo Riberg billiard.
It’s only my first bowl of this blend, but so far so good. Malty, sweet and a bit musty.

My home-mixed VaBurique mixture, “Undecided” in a cob.
95*+ in the desert southwest is perfect cob weather, esp the natural finish MM’s.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a medium bend smooth dark brown 1968 Barling 5631 London England TVF billiard silver spigot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Gold Star Jamaican Reserve, neat, is my drink. Watching an episode of Mike Hammer.
