Passing the quarter mark on this bowl of year 2020 Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in a straight, smooth brown 1960s Lane era Charatan Special 38 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Going to do a little work on this Josie story.

Cigar Time- La Palina Nicaragua Oscuro
I love the 4th Generation pipes.
Bang for buck mine have been phenomenal. That particular one is gorgeous too.
Part of the afternoon off, mowing done and relaxing on the deck. A favorite pipe - doesn’t narrow the field much, lol - Nording Hunter Cheetah and We Three Kings. 
Mcclelland Drama Reserve in the Il Duca bent strawberry wood.
Granger today in a Cob. Buccos blew the lead in the top of the ninth last night, promptly shitting themselves in defeat. We'll have to see what happens tonight.
Enjoy the evening everyone, it'll be some Irish Flake and a Jim Beam for me.

HH Old Dark Fired in a Tekin.
2015 McClelland VaPer from the box pass out of an unmarked sandblast. 
Hey friends, just got an alert from Smoking Pipes that Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake is back in stock.
Troutstream in Brigham smooth Rhodesian, and a cup of
black jasmine tea.
black jasmine tea.My daily rotation is as follows:
In the morning, My Peterson Rusticated Derry with a pure Virginia or VaPer blend. Until I buy another tin of something more fancy, it’s either a bowl of Prince Albert or Half and Half (Yes I know Half and Half is half Burley).
Afternoon: An Aromatic in my Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman, for some reason I enjoy aromatics more while I’m reading, and the room note keeps the wife happy. Just finishing up some Molto Dolce and E.A. Carey Classic Black Aromatic
Evening: Something strong before bed, usually Orientals in my Dr. Grabow Riviera. I’ve been alternating between Bengal Slices and Bayou Night, and love both. Bayou Night is really my first foray into a blend where the perique is on the heavy side, so I was told.

I'm really enjoying this clay pipe.

Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight black with burgundy undertone sandblasted early 1960s Lane era Charatan 420 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Funny bringing this up, I just watched Guardians of the Galaxy 1,2 this past weekend, when I saw 3 was out on Disney+, to recap on them, and then watch 3 this Friday.
Great movies, you just have to admire the creativity in them, or your an old fart in my book! LOL
Passing the quarter mark on this bowl of in a dark brown medium bend grain etched 1970s Preben Holm Ben Wade Prominence B freehand with a black vulcanite stem. This may get me to dinner time. Watching the Braves-Pirates game.
BBQ ribs, whipped potatoes, and green beans for dinner. Following that up with some Eileen's Dream in a Rossi 8122 for dessert. Diet Dr Pepper can in a Yeti is my drink.
