Been away for a few days on a Euro trip, returning to a wonderful lunt with the dog; this morning is a cool 74 degree (23/24 Celsius for your Europeans) and the bowl is some vintage 2011 (yenidje) Balkan Sobranie in this trusty Dagner cob:
[Many have asked in the past, but that's a Al Pascia 'pipe sock' the cob is resting on. I really enjoy it for bringing a loaded pipe around, helps to quickly snuff it out when you need to duck in somewhere too.]

GH Ennerdale Flake in my new Boswell Swirling Churchwarden
Today I've made a couple of tall glasses of iced-Texas Pecan coffee, and just returned from a-lunting with Country Squire's Old Toby in my Rattray's Goblin
GL Pease Union Square in an Armentrout Apple
Good day all! Starting with C&D Bayou Morning in a Savinelli Autograph flame grain Billiard with flattened shank and matching saddle stem. Nice pics of Rome, telescopes! Seems to look a LOT cleaner than I remembered from back in the 70s.
Morning smoke, coffee and a bowl of Escudo in my Reum Dublin.
Smoking Seven Seas Royal Blend in a Sav. Blue Alligator Poker, drinking a Coke, getting ready to watch Rays- RedSox, hoping the Rays get at least one in this series

Very few could caress the Hammond B-3 like Joey. RIP.I'm still reeling from the sudden death of one of my favorite jazz organists, Joey DeFrancesco. A new cache of samples from @TheIronMonkey should help me get back into a better frame of mind. Digging in today for the first time...
C&D Warped: Saint Espresso in my Savinelli Tortuga 614 bent billiard. Although @JimInks says no dry time needed, I gave it 10-15 minutes, just because I'm a finicky SOB.Lovely blend! It does taste pretty true to its name, although my wife (a coffee snob) took a couple puffs and shook her head as she handed the pipe back to me! But she liked the taste and the room note, so I can't ask for much more than that.
Bird report: California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, House finch, Mountain chickadee, Northern flicker, Common raven, Mourning dove, Western bluebird, California towhee, California quail, and Hairy woodpecker. Nursing a Moscow mule, and preparing for a great dinner of pasta w/chicken sausage and mushrooms. Summer seems to be conceding to autumn a little early, which is just fine by me. That spells lots of work forthcoming for my Sav Bacco 321, my English blend pipe.
