Smoking C&D XX Flake in a Bones
Has anyone else noticed that these are excellent, fully formed flakes? Like nothing I’ve ever seen from C&D before... they actually keep as full flakes, they don’t fall apart the second you touch them, totally different than the sister XX Dark Flake (at least my tin). It makes me wonder if this was actually manufactured outside of their factory... maybe I just got a good tin, I guess I’ll see when I open another one. Could this be like Stonehenge Flake? That one was actually made at the Gawith plant. This is all speculation of course... (obviously)
Regardless, I find this an absolutely wonderful blend!
Also smoking Warrior Plug (2016) in a Neerup

Having a bowl of C and D Pegasus in an MM 5th Ave Diplomat Cobb.
HU Balkan Passion in a Rattray's Dark Reign 125 sandblast Pipe.
About a quarter of a bowl left of Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard with a black acrylic tapered stem. This will finish my smoking day.
A blasphemous use of two superb burley blends (amphora and 5 bros) by mixing them with a little D&R ramback in what I think is a pretty unique Kaywoodie 99b with straight grain and birds eyed cap. I should get after it and make it pop...it's supposedly a squat bulldog with square shank...this one here's trapazoidal...
HU - Special Fayyum Kake in a corncob.
A blend I like and easy to buy here in the EU.

Peterson's Balkan Mixture in a Rattray's Devil's Cut sandblast pipe.
2017 Esoterica Margate in a 1970s Sven Knudsen sandblasted billiard with a sterling silver army mount—specifically, a Model 14, described as a “LEIGHT WEIGHT CLASSIC” in the Dantonian Pipe Works catalogue (although mine has a slightly different, albeit equally fanciful, handout vulcanite stem from the two examples illustrated).
7 year old C&D Cross Eyed Cricket in a Nording Eriksen Bulldog. 
Nice ash. Nº2s are my absolute lifelong favorite,
Smoking Mac Baren Vanilla Flake from a Claudio Cavicchi rusticated cutty.
TAK - Latakia Evening in my Turkish "fruit de mer" engraved Meer.
Marlin Flake in a Danish Stanwell Zebrano. 
Enjoying some early morning HU Makhuwa in a mounted When Wade Meerschaum. I think I was looking for this thing last night but couldn't find it. A friend last night was smoking one with an amber stem.
