MB Scottish Mixture in a Falcon.
Day late for these smokes but I drove to Pittsburgh for a gig. On the way down I smoked some Bayou Morning in a Peterson Bent Rusticated and the wider bowl muted some of the virginia flavors but it lasted me all the way to the state line which was nice.
Then I smoked some C&D Oriental Silk in my little Ropp Squashed Tomato. Wow! What a blend! The first light had a bit of a cigarettey note to it but if you maintained the temperature you got a lovely sour note from the orientals within. Definitely a winner and it'll be fun seeing how continued smoking of that one helps my general technique cause that sour flavor goes away real quick if you puff to fast.

The Royal Yacht in a J04, more chicken coop modifications on tap for today.
Now chillin’ on the front porch with GLP Fillmore in a CAO lattice Dublin (pipe’s unmarked but the fitted case has a CAO sticker). Good pipe for the consistent breeze we’ve got today from the last cool storm front heading out.

Newminster 403 in a Castello and a stout. Worked like a rented mule today
Just finished smoking year 2020 C&D Virginia Flake in a straight medium brown 1922-1937 Irish Free State era Peterson 222 bullcap with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Fed the ferals except for Abner the Eager, and m'lady fed our cats. Watching the Braves-Twins game.
Now smoking the last of this tin of year 2014 Astley’s No. 55 in a 1915-1920 straight smooth dark brown BBB Own Make 150 apple with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Pegasus in my new meer carved by Mustafa Savun.
OJK in a 19teens Premier French Briar Redmanol.
Aperitif bowl of a dark fired offering from KBV in a Fehmi Yavuz saucer, then off to fry up some pork chops.
Wonderful choice on the new meer.
HU Director’s Cut in a Cavicchi Dublin and Ginger Tea on the side.
Cornell & Diehl St. Patrick's Day Reserve in a Peterson Deluxe System Barley 9s. I needed this today.
C&D Tuggle Hall in a Celebi Meerschaum with a glass of iced water.
8 year old Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture in a Bruno Nuttens Bing shape.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm smoking year 2012 Virginia Spice in a 1979 brown grain etched Lane Era Charatan's Make medium bend calabash shape 483DC with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Cleaned the pipes that I smoked earlier, scrubbed the bowl of the Barling estate that I've been working on, and will check on the ferals soon.
Cornell & Diehl Founding Fathers in a Peterson Deluxe System B42.
Just finished a bowl of Palmetto Balkan with a little C&D Super Balkan on the bottom while leisurely walking in the lovely spring twilight. In my big Radice Rind G 31.
Kendal #7 in a J11P, tending to the critters while mama finishes up a glazed ham, honey glazed carrots, roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon, mashed taters, and Dutch oven rolls.
