Presently enjoying a bowl of Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in an Altinay.
Nothing but Pegasus in this Tekin for days now.
Today, had a great round of golf while smoking a Rick house Toro.
Exclusive in a Peterson Irish Harp Lovat. As I was posting this photo, i noticed about 50 photos of our dogs and random things around the house. It appears my six year old daughter hijacked my phone at some point this evening!
Happy birthday man! God bless!
Oh I didn't know we were sightseeing birds here, that's a whole new thingNewminster 400 Superior Navy Flake in a Peterson Shannon 06 classic billiard, while doing yet another round of boring ranch chores. Very nice one, 8.6/10. Speaking of Peterson, my Irish Harp arrives in about 30 hours. After two months of waiting, you'd think 30 hours would be a walk in the park. Well it is, but I still wish I had the pipe for that walk. The cold sweats are starting to subside...
Bird report: Spotted towhee, Dark-eyed junco, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, American crow, Red-tailed hawk, Mourning dove, Northern flicker, White-crowned sparrow, White-breasted nuthatch, Mountain chickadee, Oak titmouse, California towhee, House finch, and American tree sparrow.

C&D Autumn Evening in a Lorenzetti, the first real pipe I bought.
Now smoking Wilke No. 78 in a straight black sandblasted undated, unbranded Made in France short shank billiard with a long black vulcanite tapered stem.
I’m a bird geek too. I have a couple feeders near my patio and see many of the same birds. Nuthatch, Chickadee, Mourning Dove, Junko, sparrows, finches and two Cardinal pairs. I had about a dozen Grackles in and around the feeders today. Noisy as hell but beautiful! Last year, my kids got me a feeder with a Blink Camera in it and I can’t get enough of it!

OGS in my Savinelli 313.
Kind of a weird bowl tonight. I’m getting some of those “fizzy candy” sensations on the tongue which I certainly don’t mind, but the retrohales are often bland yet rough/spicy. It’s hard to describe; I think this is the experience that people who dislike OGS tend to get. Maybe this particular flake got all the red Virginia and Perique? Something I ate/drank? Who knows.

Ennerdale Flake in a Stanwell Dublin.
That's a real nice variety you've got out there! I envy all cardinal sightings--we don't get those out here, or indeed anywhere west of the Rockies. Grackles will box out all competition and plow through your birdseed like Penzance at a pipe club meeting. Don't say I didn't warn you!
Now smoking Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite. Working and listening to Fibber McGee and Molly. We named Molly Danger after Molly McGee.
