Nothing like a new pipe in n the mail to perk you up after a miserable night at work and a sleepless day. First smoke in this new Ardor Urano Fantasy Paneled Hawkbill will be my customary GH Scotch Flake.

Just finished smoking year 2007 Astley’s No. 109 in a straight smooth brown circa 1950s-60s BBB Contrast 506 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
This tastes like shit. You should try some. 
50/50 mix of Captain Black and Old Toby --- well dried. What a difference drying makes...really tones down captain black. In a Savinelli Erica fiamma 128 Billiard with 6mm charcoal filter while watching an ant drag a dead costa rican cricket across the lawn ... what strength ... if it couldn't go around the grass or obstacles it went up and over with the cricket which was at least 4 times its size. I have no idea where the nest it was going to was located as I stopped watching when it went under my lawn chair just as my pipe died out !
P.S. I know it was a costa rican cricket because I bought 4 to feed a pet spider when i was a kid and two escaped and mated so the tan ones are costa rican and the black ones are CT homegrown; those in between are mixed marriages. The costa rican ones are very friendly and will let you pick them up and are not afraid. The others jump away.

One more pipe of Uno in this IMP & then its off to Ryan Alden for a stem replacement. @ashdigger has shown us the way:
Cornell & Diehl Anthology in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Started the day with a bowl of 2 year old Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake in a Peterson Irish Army 406(prince). Now, a bowl of Bayou Morning in the same pipe. Catching up on my Washington Examiner issues and drinking black coffee with a tot of Kraken Rum.
PH Golden Sliced in a John Eells blasted billiard
Enjoyed a tasty peach, did a set of walking reps, and have about a third of a bowl left of Prince Albert in an undated, unbranded straight smooth brown made in France Los Alton VBF Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
OGS in a 606KS … I’d rather highlight the little girl splooshing (cooling down by laying flat) in the background. 
You need a smaller bowl for that homegrown stuff
Cornell and Diehl House Reserve
in an IMP Meerschaum.

Half way through this bowl of year 2016 Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Kentucky in an undated family era Sasieni Natural Four Dot Grosvenor smooth medium brown quarter bend bulldog with a black tapered vulcanite stem.
