A Cuban Cohiba tonight. Felt like cigar weather.
Breaking in this Barling Trafalgar bark with some Chelsea Morning. This is the first Barling I've purchased in the new line (I have a couple old TVF's) and I have to say I like it very much! Medium bowl, easy smoking.
CBG in a Medico dedicated to the blend. Probably can't tell from the picture, but the pipe has a purplish tint to the stain which is kind of grapey. The small bowl is perfect as CBG is pretty sweet and of course once it's gone, it's gone. 
I'm going to end the night with a chew.

Amphora Full Aroma in a MM cob - my first taste of this tobacco. I quite like it but I’m still forming my opinion.
A no name bent billiard, reminds me of a an Upshall, filled with simply Red. Espresso while chilling 
After a couple of rowdy Saturdays in a row in the neighborhood, I finally got some peace and quiet. Decided to celebrate the occasion with C&D Opening Night in a Peterson Irish Harp 80s blasted dawg, paired with a Sam Smith organic lager. Lovely! 9/10

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, orange roughy and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the quarter mark of this bowl of aged Rattrays Hal O’ The Wynd in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII (Comoy’s) Corinthian De-Luxe 126 pot made for Sutliff in San Francisco with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-Rockies game, and DVRing the rest of the Orioles-Rays game.
Started the evening with a shop blend, “Pistachio Ice Cream” in a Casillero Churchwarden, another pipe that I purchased in support of the a pipe club member friend’s widow. Finishing up with a Four Kicks Capa Especial Lancero whilst I feed the mosquitoes! Listing to a little John Prine to complete the relaxation. Cheers!

Keep trying to understand Burly tobacco still without success yet…
I have a good "stash" of various Burleys but don't smoke them "straight" too much, also. But I value them for how they can really enhance Virginias, if blended 50/50 .... plus, also, with Oriental (Turkish), Perique, etc.
Haven't seen mso489 here for a while but he's mentioned this several times.

A new home, whether "new" new or even a century old home, is always great.
The anticipation & excitement of a new home is probably close to the anticipation & excitement of getting that new meer.
Dutch Masters Whiskey Cavendish in a MM Country Gent.
Sitting on a contractor’s screwup trying raise someone to fix it on a Saturday evening. I might be here a while.
“Dark Sails” home mix in the Sportsman 87.
Easy money, but I’d rather be hanging with wife and grandson.

Just when you were getting the whole “homeless pipe guy” vibe down (which by the way would be a great YouTube channel).
All kidding aside, that’ll be awesome-may the closing go well.
Agree to all! Can't wait for either! Haha. I'm buying a "manufactured home" ("trailer" is no longer used I guess) it's a 2025 model, so I'll be the first owner! And "community" is now the proper term, not "trailer park"
But that meer! Oh I have plans for that meer.....I think.
My wife chose my Second Generation Three Star Lee Bullmoose for me to smoke this morning. So many pipes and yet somehow, I feel like I don't have any choices. Quiet Nights, the working man's Penzance fills my bowl. How enjoyable.
It could always be worse, everyday above ground is by the grace of what I choose to call god.Agree to all! Can't wait for either! Haha.

My house has two VIN’s-but also my horses are 25yds from my porch.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and passing the first third of this bowl of year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Cleaned a few pipes, and fed Molly Danger. Sleepy Suzy is by my side.
