Not far from finishing this bowl of Stokkebye Natural Dutch Cavendish in a 1970s medium bend smooth Ben Wade Golden Walnut freehand with a black vulcanite stem. Taking a needed work break.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2014 MacBaren Acadian Perique in a smooth straight Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.

Smoking a bowl of the 4th Generation Small Batch Aged Virginia (which was provided by Samuel Gawith). This is clearly aged, quality tobacco. Either a very rough ribbon cut or rubbed out, I'd say the latter. Perfect moisture level to pack and smoke. Loaded up my newest Rubio Dragon Scales Billiard and applied fire. The aged and refinement of the tobacco is obvious immediately. Kind of reminds me of a cross between aged FVF and BBF. I get a few hints of citrus sweetness out of this that I don't normally taste in FVF in particular. As the bowl burns down, the sweetness and slight spiciness increases. Relatively full bodied, definitely full flavored. This is about as close to the perfect Virginia as you're going to get. I wish they had enough of this aged tobacco to make multiple thousands of tins available at a half way decent price.

Took a short nap, and am a quarter of the way through bowl of a new to me Amphora Original (Brown) in a medium bend dark brown 2017 Don Warren 17 straight grain rough top with a multi-brown cumberland stem and ferrule in the military mount style. Dinner will interrupt this smoke, but so far, I'm having a great experience with this pipe.

Watching the Braves-Twins game.
