***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

I guess I was on a Rum VaBurPer kick when I packed my lunchbox last night.
Now it’s the Kaywoodie Pup with GLP Windjammer.

Been busy for a while but I figured I should post for the arrival of another beauty into my collection. There's no markings and the seller didn't have any info on it but this beautiful pebble cut billiard smokes very well, for now I'm going to be smoking Carter Hall in it, there's a slight ghost in the pipe that tastes reminiscent of Half&Half or another similar blend and I'm hoping I can flush it out. Happy Monday, y'all!

Rally looking forward to mixing up a 1/3lb of this and stoving/pressing it into pucks.
“Pikey Caravan” in the hard working Short Army 102. I’d have bought more of this line of pipes if I’d known what I know now. Hopefully Pete runs them again, or at least uses this iteration of the p-lip in more lines.

House finch males are typically red on the head and breast, but we've been seeing an explosion lately of yellow-colored finches, which is apparently a recessive gene becoming more dominant. I've also seen several that have more of an orange motif going on...perhaps they're interbreeding with the red ones? Whatever it is, they're positively beautiful, and welcome to gorge themselves on the seed I put out so as to STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MY GARDEN! Thank you in advance for your cooperation...

Here's the couple together, with his wife looking right at me:

Stayed sunny so mowing was on! Yard mowed, and 1/3 of the field. Found a tree down in the far low wet end so got some chainsawing in, too. "Yardwork season" has officially launched at my house. Now, a balmy 57F, 2019 Rouxgaroux in a cob, and a Boneyard IPS straight from the can.

Halfway through a bowl of Tilbury in a Medico Churchwarden

 

[Hillcrest]

Received a fresh delivery of Sutliffe 507C today and some filters ( a day early !) ... half a flake in the Peterson Pub pipe. My neighbors honey bees seemed to be flying around the yard and at least one crane fly hatched and was flying around.
