GL Pease Cairo in a Sasieni Four Dot Viscount Lascelles S
Dunhill Three Year Matured Virginia in a Kaywoodie 01 flame grain zulu. 
McClelland 5105 in a cob. This is a jet black stove Virginia. Primarily used as a mixer for many house English blends back in the day. Can be smoked straight, I kind of like it. Mild and very sweet. I have several mason jars of this and an apothecary jar full in the man cave. When McClelland shut down, I found a couple of pounds of this in a few B&M's. Decided to load up a cob and give it a go. It's quite dry. Enjoying the sweetness, it is indeed quite mild. I had a relatively fresh cob by my recliner, that's why I am smoking it. Too lazy to get up. LOL
Late night smoke before I turn in: '16 Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture in my Nate King meerschaum prince. This blend rarely disappoints.
Another blend of mine, this time a va/ky/per. A nice and rich, stout blend. Spicy perique kicks off the bowl with the creamy, fruity Virginia's taking the lead as things smooth, Kentucky adds a little smoky nuttyness underneath it all.
-75% black stoved Virginia
-10% stoved Kentucky with maple syrup and bourbon
-20% perique
Flake and ribbon mix(I added the ribbon cause I was tweaking the blend) through a medium size clay tavern pipe.

2011 GLP Cairo in a Savinelli Punto Oro. I just got this tin to see whether I want to cellar Cairo while it's still cheap and plentiful. I think that is a resounding Yes - having myself a pretty magnificent smoke here.
Yoshimi's Out Shine in a Kenan meerschaum.
Just finished smoking Ken Byron Ventures Yoshimi's Miss Stake Prototype in a 1990s smooth Peterson Captain Pete XL80 bulldog with a black vulcanite stem and p-lip.
Now smoking Wilke No. 44 in a 1970s slight bend black sandblasted English Rustic 120S Billiard (Comoy’s second) with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
I thank you for the interest in the Conrad pipes, and for the very kind words. You're a good man.
Having a bowl of Esoterica Dunbar in a Chris Morgan Blackjack 1/4 bent bulldog. This is my first ever bowl of an Esoterica blend. It won't be the last!
Did some snacking, and am now smoking Wilke No.184 in a 1990 smooth medium bend Nording freehand sitter with a wider top than bottom that also has a ridge and a narrower bowl resembling an upside down spout, with an amber colored lucite saddle stem with cream swirls.
Smoking a bowl of Gawith/Hogarth Reunion blend Nos 27 perique flake IMO it’s a top five Va/per and my personal favourite by a mile.Only sold in bulk, Using a Stanwell Royal guard Cherrywood with a narrow 2.2’’ bowl, as I fold and twist this flake to get the best flavour
Hal O'the Wynd in a Peterson's Tankard church warden pipe.
Just finished the last of my open stash of D&R Raccoon’s Delight in a smooth 1976 Canadian GBD Seventy Six 256 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching a documentary about Pearl Harbor.
Now smoking the very dry year 2015 D&R A.P. Rimboche in a smooth medium brown, medium bend 1950s B.B.B. Own Make 307 apple with a sterling silver band and black vulcanite saddle stem. May end the day with this smoke.
I was watching an old rerun of Carson tonight from 1977, and Gregory Peck was a guest. He came out clenching a McArthur cob, and gave one to Johnny. He had just finished filming the movie McArthur.
Peck also mentioned that McArthur rarely smoked the iconic corncob, basically just using it as a prop for photos.
