Breaking in my new Christopher’s Pipes bent Dublin with some Haunted Bookshop.
Did a set of walks, cleaned a couple of estate pipes, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.
Now smoking Motzek (TAK) Virginia Cake in an undated straight black sandblasted Kevin Arthur brandy with a multi-colored accent on the white acrylic saddle stem. This pipe was originally owned by Sante “FishnBanjo” Giuliani. Watching the Braves-Giants game.
Loaded up the yard cobs with MM Country Gentleman and Missouri Pride. These blends are good fresh but time in the jar have made them outstanding IMHO. 
Winchester in a Pete XL02. This is a very satisfying blend to me. Much better than the reviews indicate. More Vitamin N, richer taste. I'm gettin' me more of this stuff! Only problem is that what I'm smoking now has inadvertently been aged, due to my forgetting I had it for at least five years. Wonder if that made it better than fresh or less so? Strange how a cheap plastic zip-lock in a Tupperware thing with a bunch of others kept it in perfect smoking condition. Anyhow, my jaded palate is quite impressed.
