Half way through this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

C&D We Three Kings in a Cob that you don’t need to see. Instead please consider this Viprati for your viewing pleasure.
A bedtime go with Peretti 333 again in the MM cob. Water and a book... Monophonics in the background.
Peterson Nightcap from July 2021 in a Balandis sandblasted billiard
Hope you get it back soon.
Wasn't sure if KBV was going to keep producing this blend (or for how long), so i was taking it easy on the couple pouches i had left. Just happened to check the site on whim and noted they had some available, so i grabbed a few more and digging back in. Good stuff. The Pete is a deluxe PSB.
As I said last post a few pages back, tax rebate time is the best time of the year. And I've frivolled it all away on Toys. I'm sitting here smoking a Colt Whiskey, right now, which tastes exactly like the previous 3 cigars I've smoked today. A bit like warm, wet charcoal. As does whatever I eat. Hoping this whatever it is passes soon.
So as I said back there last post, I'm pushing the button one more time today, and I did so. A bit of background here; as most of you know, I'm half English and half Polish. And I have a few English pipes already. But no Polish pipes. I have also been very strongly considering a nose-warmer, after warming up to that mini-cob I bought a month or so back. So I now present to you "tweak aquisition #3", a Polish-made Nosewarmer by the Polish artisan Mr. Brog.
I remember a newcomer to the forum, who was Polish and whom I haven't seen online since, sending me a PM on this Maker who is apparently very well known. And that Poland has quite a pipe following. I think I remember my Polish Grandfather smoking a pipe in a pictures, (he died before I was born) and my uncles on the Polish side all smoked, so there must be a following there. I don't know, and would appreciate anybody who does commenting. So, as was often said in the movie "Amadeus", "There it is!"
Have to lay off for a couple of government paychecks - time to catch up on groceries.

Rattray’s Hal O’ The Wynd from May 2020 in a Balandis sandblasted billiard
Did a little low calorie snacking, and am smoking year 2012 Carter Hall in a black rusticated medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 437/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Going to clean the pipes that I smoked today.
I've passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1984 medium bend black grain etched Savinelli Non Pareil 9310 pokerish dublin with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite flared stem. I let Harry the Hairy in to eat, and afterward, he jumped on my lap for attention. When he wants attention, he has a very needy look on his face. Daisy the Feral Princess was jealous of all this because as soon as Harry landed on the floor, she ran over and took a swipe at him. I chastised Daisy, and she ran to a corner of the room so I wouldn't put her out. Abner the Eager's been snoozin' on the couch for a while. I'm reading baseball box scores when the ferals let me.

Not far from finishing this bowl of Wilke Back Bay w/o perique in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Dublin Sterling Canadian 264 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. I just let the sleepy looking Abner the Eager out, and Daisy the Feral Princess came back in. Fed my cats, and Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Still have a few box scores to read.
Now smoking year 2020 Angler's Dream in a 1984 Stanwell Antique 124 egg with a smooth brown front and a black sandblasted back with a dark gold ferrule and black vulcanite stem in the military mount style. I may end the day with this smoke.

Happy Belated Birthday!
Happy Belated Birthday!
I continue smoking from Sherlock Holmes Dark Smooth Lestrade P-Lip + RMC Barking Road. Excellent Virginia and Burley.
Quietly winding down for the night with an AKB meerschaum full of 1792 Flake. 
Started the morning with some Skiff Mixture in the Cobbit, just finished rubbing out today's portion of Sam's Chocolate Flake
