First smoke since late May! Smoking GL Pease Abingdon in a Chacom Carrare 185 sand blast billiard with a glass of room temp water. Per @mso489 recent suggestion of sharing a bit about the blend: This is one of my favorite blends, a balkan comprised of ribbon cut Turkish/Oriental, Virginia’s, and Latakia. The Latakia sits nicely in this blend, letting the Va’s and Orientals do their thing together for some sweetness and brighter tones on top. 
Tilbury in a Ashton XXX pebble grain lovat. 
Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Pork Chops & Apple Sauce 2020 in a 1980s White Pipe straight lattice apple meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem.
Sun Bear in a Rossi Vittoria 8673. I just opened my first tin today, and I'm happy I got a couple more tins. Good smoke.
Tilbury in a Phillip Trypis prince. 
HU Geniet Moment in a Randy Wiley Galleon bent pot.
G&H Scotch Flake in a Luciano Grade B Volcano with Spalted Tamarind Accent. 
Just finished smoking Ken Byron Ventures Spaghetti Western in a smooth unfinished brown slight bend 2015 Savinelli 320KS author with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Now smoking Wilke No.178 in a 1982 smooth slight bend straight grain Ben Wade Martinique freehand sitter with a wide top and a black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
During our ZOOM get-together, with a bunch of pipe pals, I smoked Fred Hanna's Wilderness in a meerschaum pipe, gifted to me by Al Shaw. It was a fun "meeting."
About a quarter of a bowl left of Cobblestone Whiskey in a 1979 medium bend etch relief meerschaum lined TinderBox Arabesque with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
How are those cobblestone blends? Saw a bunch on TP. Haven’t the slightest idea about any of them.
Ken Byron Mycroft in a KBB Yello Bole, my first attempt at refinishing a pipe.
Did a little snacking, and washed some dishes, and am now having my last smoke of the day, which is Ken Byron Ventures Yoshimi’s Out Shine in a brown straight smooth Paul Perri billiard with a black acrylic tapered stem. I have enough in this pouch for a bowl or so.
You have to like the toppings to enjoy the blends because only a couple have very much tobacco flavor. I did review them all at TR if you want to check them out.
Going fishing today,so I'm up very early. Smoking some MB Seven Seas Royal Blend ,some needed coffee,and the morning papers.
Haha, I figured they’d be topping driven given the names. I will do so! Thank you sir!
