Sutliff’s Blend No. 5 in a Stanwell Bent Acorn (shape 30)
This afternoon 2/3rds of a bowl of dried, rubbed out, Sutliff Sweet Virginia in the Pete Pub. Tonight some Sutliff 507-C in the Vauen Olaf bent egg. The sweet virginia does not burn as hot or fast when dried out. The pipe also does not get as hot. Strangely, the bottom 1/4 of the bowl has the most flavor.
Happy Belated Birthday!
Cornell & Diehl Palmetto Balkan 2024 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Now smoking year 2018 Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a straight smooth brown 1960s-70s BBB Own Make 506 Canadian with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Watching the Braves-Giants game.
Now smoking Erinmore Flake in a Peterson Christmas 69. I've been keeping the Erinmore confined mostly to this pipe. I may regret that later but we shall see.
I had a nice paddle around the local lake this afternoon. There was a good assortment of birds to watch which was good because the trout were completely uncooperative. I enjoyed a local brew alongside my cherry aromatic in a ‘60s or ’70s Yorkshire billiard. It’s a massive pipe my dad used to call his “big MacArthur.” Even after an hour or so, I ended up dumping half a bowl of unsmoked tobacco when I had to head home.
Earlier had some Low Country Natural Virginia & Oriental in a Savinelli Lovat. Noticed a few similarities after smoking LC Waccamaw while camping a few days.
Now working on Sutliff 707 Sweet Virginia in the Vauen in the background.
Both of these are great clenchers.

Smoking some Erik Stokkebye Afternoon Melange in a Sean Reum large billiard that I won in the Chicago slow smoke a few years back. I'm watching Hijack on apple TV. If you want crazy suspense and tension, this is it!
4noggins Prairie Wind in a Morgan. Gotta love Neil Young inspired tobacco
I haven't seen Grasmere listed anywhere in a couple years...! Is it still being made?
WHOA! I did a double-take thinking I didn't post that?! NICE RADICE!
Peretti Tashkent in the Imp Sitter, con agua del pozo.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am a third of the way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
