HH Burley Flake in the elderly IRC apple.
Amphora Original in Peterson 107 Aran while I have coffee and read the papers.
On this auspicious day, many years ago, I was born. And I have been enjoying pipes for over half of those years of life. Enjoying some HU Makhuwa now in a Comoy 'Selected Straight Grain.' I have burnt through a fair amount of this Makhuwa and now I can see the bottom of the tin. 
My own blend of home-cooked brown burley and Virginia Cavendishes, blended with whole leaf organic burley, and lemon Virginia cased with Bushmill's and vanilla, pressed into crumble cake. It's now almost 4 months old and is mellowing nicely- sweet on first light, progressing to woody and spicy near the end. Smoking in the garage in a Crown Manola Spot Carved, drinking coffee, listening to Dimension X.
Smoking a bowl of Mac Baren Navy Flake this morning out of a Peter Heeschen smooth bent egg. Enjoying a cup of black coffee.

G&H Scotch Flake in an Eric Heberling Sandblasted Strawberry Wood Billiard. 
Rainy Virginia day, enjoying Dunhill Royal Yacht. I really am finding i like this as a first smoke of the day.
Starting today off with C&D Bayou Morning. It actually is a good morning smoke, first pipe of the day pick-me-up with a cup of coffee. When I ordered this a few months back I meant to order 2oz but ended up getting 4oz by mistake. This is a really good blend to order extra of by mistake :doh::

Esoterica Tilbury from my French Made Algerian Briar Dublin before work.
A rare work-from-home (office) Friday for me, so taking meetings out on the patio with some JC Smyrna in a very early Vermont-production Nachwalter (obtained from PipeLady here on the forums).
Newminster No 400 Superior Navy Flake in a little morta. Cup of Community House Blend to go with. Waiting on the clay to dry on this one so I can heat treat it.
Everybody loves some American V! ?
Experimenting with a mixture of 1-Q topped with University Flake in The French Pipe #5
