PS Luxury Navy Flake in an 1893 G. L. & Co. Meer with Amber Stem
Ennerdale in an old “White Briar” KayWoodie. A little change up from all the heavy blends I’ve been into as of late.
Evening pipe: G.L Pease Union Square in my cobbit.
Evening one and all-
I haven’t posted in over a week. Had a smoke or two in that time. But the high heat combined with daily chores, an irrigation project and the beginning of storing/putting up the garden harvest(s), left me with little or no desire to sit outside in the heat.
A wonderfully “cool” after dinner smoke is in order Tonight.
The Dublin Meer packed with Country Squire, Meriwether and a glass of Buffalo Trace Bourbon.?

Three Nuns in a Lorenzo sitter. I like it so far, but I seem to enjoy every dark fired Kentucky blend.
After dinner, Country Squire Old Toby in the MM Mark Twin Cob --- I never really liked cobs in my youth but now fully appreciate the convenience, perfect smoke and taste. Live and learn; better late than never ! In fact I'm thinking of getting a new acrylic stem like you guys have but can't on best one.
@Ag®o ; @LotusEater : Happy Birthday ! many, many more and a wonderful year to you both !!

Haddos Delight from a blasted Francois Dal. Two things I don't often reach for, but greatly enjoy both when I do.
2021 Cringle Flake in a square shanked Sav billiard.
Off to pick another pipe and tobacco for last smoke of evening --- to all those pairing a tobacco with a glass of whiskey :
Drying the last of my sample of Dunbar on a paper towel, to go in my Stefano bent Rhodesian. Enjoying a fizzy strawberry flavored drink from Trader Joe's. Bird report: California scrub-jay, California quail, California towhee, House finch, Brewer's blackbird, Mourning dove, Ring-necked dove, Red-tailed hawk, Common raven, Northern flicker, White-breasted nuthatch, Oak titmouse, Mountain chickadee, Steller's jay, Hairy woodpecker, Western kingbird, and Bullock's oriole. A nice full array, just the way I like it. Listening to ambient music, and feeling glad to be back at home again after several days on the road. ?
Ken Byron Ventures Notorious in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Derringer(what else?) in a, new to me, late 1950s smooth Kaywoodie Standard drinkless apple. Is it advisable to turn off the stem when these pipes are hot? I get a slight gurgle with this pipe occasionally and this contraption doesn’t allow a pipe cleaner to reach all the way in. The draw on this pipe is more restricted than I’m used to. I think I’ve read somewhere that too much aggression turning the stem can cause the stem to unclock from top dead center.
Any thoughts are appreciated as I quite like this pipe!
