Wesley’s of South Africa Three Quarter Flake in a AOC Globe celebrating England’s penalty win over Nigeria, they outclassed us all match and it’s sad to see them go out like that. Not that I’m unhappy with the result mind you.

Trying 50/50 mixture of Bayou Morning and Old Joe Krantz in a Ropp...it works for me!
How long should tinned tobacco keep once opened?
I don't want it to dry out in the 2 weeks between the Woodland Festival & the Redcoats & Revolutionaries event!

@Birddog66 Burley match blend in a vintage clay. It's going down well - and the blacksmith says he loved the smell of it.

Wall of heat and humidity makes it a 2-cube morning. Enjoying some WCCSO in a Hasting.
Peterson Irish Flake from 2009 in a MM Mark Twain with a strong cup of coffee. Makes for a nice rainy morning on the porch smoke.
Love the la corta... have that same pipe.
Smoked 2 Country Squire Blends over the weekend: Bowser's Castle and Hunting Creek. Bowser's Castle was a forgettable affair... Hunting Creek was quite pleasant, but I wished for a little more latakia.
Plum Pudding Special Reserve Flake in an Abe Herbaugh.
Sun Bear Tupelo in the Allen & Wright LTD Super bent. I was going over this pipe with my loupe last night and found the remnants of what looks like a numerical stamp near the transition - no much left but looks maybe like a 21 or 27.
It's a nice piece of wood to be sure, with the grain oriented correctly for straight or flame. Nice birdseye on the bottom.
The tenon is threaded internally so I do wonder what the stinger looked like - will likely never know. Not a trove of information out there about the pipes they sold or who made them.
The little blue dot could point to the Sasieni factory but who really knows?

How do you like the 940?
I only ever had the 940-1. Loved the feel of it in hand and the action was super fidgety and fun. I found the S90v to be a tad chippy though, and the narrow blade to be awkward for some tasks.
After collecting and using all sorts of ultra high level folders, it's the BM 761 that has ridden in my pocket the longest. Bought it when they first came out (First Prod. #40!) and it's never failed me. I'll use it until it falls apart.. if it ever falls apart.
Thanks to Everyone for the birthday well wishes! I had a great day topped off with a sushi dinner with friends and family. I’m starting off today with Epiphany in a Bluebird contrast egg this morning.
@bluegrassbrian, I find the 940 with the S30v steel all around best knife for me. I had a para military I thought would be my go to, but like you said about the 761 the knife you reach for the most turns out to be your favorite. BM’s are premium quality.
Switching to Habana Daydream with
Some added Latakia for a twist.
This blend needs something, just cant figure out what that is as of yet.
