I have the opportunity and hankering for an afternoon chooch. After spending the last two weeks exploring new Virginia forward blends I figured a bowl of my go-to would be a nice reset.

Brown Sugar flake in the Sven large pot. Me likely so far.

Peretti 333 in a cob (thanks @Scottmi).
Followed by Opening Night in my Amphora Canadian.
Followed by FMOTT (thanks @timt) in my Lion Meer.

I don't normally smoke this much, but I don't normally get such a beautiful Friday evening on the patio, either.

Just finished smoking year 2013 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DR 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

1/2 bowl of C&D Autumn Evening in the vauen bent egg. Very relaxing evening smoke.

It hit 77 degrees today and the spiders are out and about hunting. Tonight there is a cross orb weaver on the backdoor wall under the light --- it looks like this only darker:

I killed a Hobo spider walking across the driveway this afternoon ... they're vicious and their bite, if not treated, can cost you a limb from necrosis (they came from china and crossed from west to east on railway cars):

Right on. Let 'em be. Here's an update on the hobo- they've been getting a bad rap...

Hobo Spider Bite May Not Be So Dangerous

According to Utah State University Cooperative Extension arthropod diagnostician Ryan Davis, the bite of a hobo spider may not cause flesh-eating lesions as once thought

Had a bowl of HOTW while trout fishing. I'm nearly certain the fish recognized and approved of the delightful aroma of the smoke wafting over the water. Being that they cant light a pipe underwater, not to mention the lack of hands, they did their best to join and rose to the surface of the stream and sipped the smoke. Turns out a few of them accidentally also sipped down the elk hair caddis fly I was casting and got themselves caught. Maybe it was no accident at all and they simply wanted look me in the eye and say thanks for sharing the delightful pipe with them...

Brown sugar flake in a rusticated Peterson Sherlock Holmes Hansom. I'm really glad I was able to get some, I like it a lot. Haven't had a Gawith disagree with me yet.
