Old Georgetown Blend in a GBD Danish
Cowboy Coffee in a Nording Cheetah 
C&D Pirate Kake in an IMP Reverse Calabash Meerschaum.
After a streak of Union Square, I decided to go back to some C&D red Virginia ribbon in one cob, then bright Virginia ribbon in another.
To my delight, both of these are now presenting with more of a smooth but tart/citrusy, lightly sweet flavor than they ever had before. I think clamping down on the bowls like this is helping a lot with the wind, on top of really taking the smallest, gentlest of sips. When the wind is going, I hardly even need to do that, just air circulation fills my mouth with smoke.

Early Relief Grain Kaywoodie 04 with my latest work in progress mixture (as labelled, but with some Dark BirdsEye mixed in for this smoke).
Currently smoking my Tekin Dragon Meerschaum with a "Frankenstein blend"
How is your IF Match mix coming along?
Haha the award goes to the meerschaum itself.
A lil bit o Walnut in a Don Carlos one note.
I am coming back to my first smoke of the day. Dad duties called so I had to put down my pipe after a few puffs. Haunted Bookshop in my Vauen Rosewood 192 with acrylic stem and 9mm filter.
Enjoyed the Bill Finger Award zoom meeting, and we picked two people for the award. I've a third of a bowl left of Watch City English Ernie-ental in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Dodgers-Mets game.
Treated myself to my first System pipe with my tax return. Breaking it in with a little OJK
Not bad, Dark Birdseye walked it away from the intended flavor a bit.
Unfortunately SPcom ran out of C&D blending Dark Fired, I’ve got the other ingredients in my wishlist to make what I think will be an acceptable facsimile.
Then there’s plan B: buy a bunch of IF every time it’s on sale
Another cigar today: Caldwell Cigars The King is Dead
