Dark Holler in the big bent lattice meer with morning coffee, and happily not a manic Monday.

La Brumeuse Semois in a Manduela prince
I am smoking some Six Pence by G.L. Pease. It is a superb Vaper. Supported by my usual Diet Dr, Pepper.
Been smoking C&D Buffalo Soldier and Uhle’s Blend 44 this morning. Bowl 250 in the little meer is more 44. Hope y’all are having a good day.
Telegraph Hill in a Pete 305.
Near the half way mark of this bowl of Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a slight bend black sandblasted 1970s Pierluigi Perinielanidi brandy with a brown smooth briar and golden yellow acrylic half saddle stem. Just let Sam the Scamp out of the back bathroom to roam around the house. Molly Danger saw her, hissed, and ran off. Molly hates all ferals.
Cornell & Diehl’s Haunted Bookshop in my Vauen Basic Nature 096 straight sandblasted acorn with an acrylic stem and 9mm filter.
Strong coffee and a tall bowl of Ulhe’s plug for a late morning wake up. 
2021 Union Square in my Virginia cob on a beautiful, but breezy day.
I had a bowl of this in my Savinelli 313 prince last night, and I'm still getting to know it. There's a definite family resemblance between this and C&D Virginia Flake and Opening Night. Like with those two, leaving US a little chunky seems to help the flavor.
I'm going to deep-clean both pipes and give this stuff a straight run for a while to give it the fairest shake. That likely means keeping it out of high winds, too.

Just opened a tin of Mac Baren’s Stockton Spun Cut. I need another open tin like a hole in my head, but oh well. I waited patiently until this had a year of aging before trying it out. Using my A. Govem bent apple meerschaum.
Halfway through a bowl of JC’s Double Pressed Latakia in my broken clay. 
Did a set of walking reps on this hot and humid day, and smoked a 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. Abner the Eager walked parts of my last two laps with me. Didn't see Tomato the Brave. Guess he's in the shade somewhere.
Wilke 2021 Peanut Butter and Chocolate in a James Upshall Dublin. I reckon it’s a ‘P’ grade that never got marked.
Enjoying some Mac Baren Classic Loose Cut (think it's called Vanilla Cream in the USA), in this little pipe.
Blue and white mood…

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Gold Star Jamaican Estate Reserve, neat, is my drink.
