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. Listening to the Braves-Padres game.
Russ Oulette Acadian English in a Dunhill Millennium Shell from 2000
Balkan Sobranie in an Eltang cutty.
GH&Co Ennerdale in a Peterson Aran
Not far from finishing this bowl of 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.
McConnell Scottish Cake in a Castello Old Antiquari Hawkbill.
My father's old gourd Calabash. Started cleaning this last year, and finally got around to taking it apart for proper full cleaning. With that completed, lanolin applied, bowl reseated,... The Aperitif shall be the first, long-anticipated smoke! In the meantime, had designed and printed up a stand for it. This was to be a sample/model, but hey, it works, weighted base and all!
Smoking a spill tray blend of many blends leftover from the afternoon and evening - Bengal Slices, Presbyterian, and even a bit of Sutliff Vanilla Cream aromatic that I got free at Muletown. Smoking it in a Cayuga Rhodesian and it's not bad. I can't stand to throw away tobacco. Drinking Red Rose iced tea.
Charing Cross in my Northern Briars paneled bent billiard.
Close to finishing this bowl of Watch City Original Crumb Cut in a 1950s-60s straight smooth brown Bertram 07 octagonal paneled billiard with a square shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Fed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave, who were waiting for me. Glad I didn't disappoint them. 
A couple of minutes or so away from smoking Wilke Surbrug’s Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Stoved MB Vanilla Flake in my Chinese Canadian
Highland Targe in a Kaywoodie shape 07 billiard. I have a hard time describing tastes in blends, but I am getting this almost cinnamon spice to this particular bowl and it's blowing my mind.
Just finished smoking Wilke No. 222 in an undated, unbranded straight smooth dark brown made in France Los Alton VBF billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs.
Now smoking D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a tapered black p-lip stem.
Full Virginia Flake in Bullax Gigliucci 
Catching up on some NHL playoff highlights from tonight, smoked a bowl of Deception Pass is a Peterson's Saint Patrick's from this year.
