Yard work today! Taking a break with some Waltham Broken Cake in this bing style cob. Iced tea.
Tsuge Cat's Eye Pipes and C&D From Beyond
Erik Stokkebye 2012 Flake in a Savinelli 707
McClelland's 40th Anniversary Flake in a Willmer AAA lovat.
I call it "Mintzantium".
C&D Byzantium, with a shot of peppermint schnapps added to the jar (needs another shot, I think).
Aroma infusion doesn't work in a jar due to the reduced surface area relative to a tupperware, which is why I just gave up and poured the liquor in.

Trying to smoke my way through this tin of C&D Chopped Cigar Leaf, 2 bowls in an old Asti Jobey restored by @98now.
…and then 2 more bowls of cigar leaf in another old Jobey restored for me by @98now.
Earlier, I did a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. I followed that up with some lunch. Tomato the Brave walked part of my last lap with me and came in to the house for more food and a little attention. He's snoozin' now. Abner the Eager was here, but we missed seeing him. I'm glad I put food out because he ate most of it. Harry the Hairy is on m'lady's lap. Daisy the Feral Princess is snoozin' on her blanket.
I've passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Yemen Mocha High Grown, neat, is my drink. Three of the four estate pipes I've been cleaning are finally clean. They were very stubborn, but I was more stubborn.
That makes twenty-one of the fifty pipes are clean as of now. One is getting a second S&A treatment, and I will work on it in a few minutes. I have four of David's pipes in various stages of bowl reaming, and will concentrate on them today.

And now a bowl of Plum Pudding BBA to finish off the tin in a black, wire rusticated Moonshine Pot Still, while wearing my old BriarWorks hoodie.
Now smoking Wilke 10 Downing Street in an undated straight, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard billiard with a brown accent on the tapered black vulcanite stem. A sturdy pipe with an easy burning tobacco works best while pipe cleaning.
Time for some Mac Baren Dark Twist Cake in a Brebbia.
So sorry for your loss. When they go, they take a piece of your heart with them. But they leave a piece of their heart behind in yours.Last post for a few days. Sad news . . . my little buddy Ricoh is not going to make it through the day. He hasn't eaten for 4 days, and hasn't taken water for three. 23 years old, totally blind and deaf for the past 5 years, and just lying at my feet now, barely breathing. He has displayed more courage than most people I've ever known, and will miss him. No replacement planned either. He's one of a kind. No regrets, either. It's his time.
Going to specialist to schedule hernia operation presently, and leaving for Vanderhoof tomorrow or Thursday, to take in Triduum with a family there who has invited me, interestingly the family that gave me my mutt when he was six years old, and am packing my travel kit now, Ricoh is sleeping peacefully and will probably and mercifully not wake up. Other wonderful event is watching one of my former very beautiful ex-students being Baptised and Confirmed during the Triduum . . . her husband is next, and I'm sure we'll share a few pipefuls (he's one of the scoundrels that got me into the labyrinth . . . . .
Will continue my series of interesting (to me, anyways) smokes when I return after Easter Sunday. Leaving you with one of those special smokes as of late, a memorable and excellent two hour puff with my best long smoker, my Savinelli Avorio, and one of my favorite (still can't get used to the American spelling but I'll try; "favourite" just looks right lol) cherry aromatics, TobaccoBarn's Bing Cherry. No forgettable drivel today methinks.

Where’s the pipe and tobacco? As a proud owner of two Wilsons and an unapologetic Wilson Combat simp, I see nothing in this pic but an awesome Wilson Combat pistol.
Peterson Connoisseur’s Choice in a Moonshine smooth brown stoker with tan saddle stem.
Sir John’s Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
