An after work before bed first time bowl of Milan's Our London Dock in the Peterson XL14 Kinsale Rhodesian Bent. Yum!
Finished work and this bowl of Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a 2003 Stanwell Golden Danish 56 Rusticated Canadian with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Now watching Three Men on a Horse starring Joan Blondell and Allen Jenkins.
It's regular Plum Pudding aged for 30 days in Kentucky Bourbon barrels.
Last smoke of the day is Ken Byron Ventures Bas Matica in a 1979 Ascorti Business KS Oom Paul with a black pearl acrylic stem. A cup of Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Blockade Runner in a sandblasted, asymmetrical Bruce Weaver tulip with a cumberland stem and ivory shank accent.

Right, but what about the taste differences?
Ruby cherry in a ten dollar Chinese pipe.
Some Elizabethan in an ancient, well caked MM Missouri Pride cob. Isn't a well broken in cob a thing of beauty? If I tap the cake with a pipe tool, it makes this 'plik plik plik' sound, looks and feels like graphite. The wooden insert has almost completely burned away, and it smokes cool and extra dry down to the bottom.
HU English Breakfast in a Peterson's Watson style pipe
C&D Oriental Silk, tweaked with P&C's DFK, in a cavalier figural meer by Medet, with coffee and the morning paper.
Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Flake in a Savinelli 802 Long John.
Astley's No. 99 Royal Tudor in a Ferndown straight bulldog.
Reiner Long Golden Flake (Gold Blend No 71) in a K&P Peterson’s Dublin
Smoking Orlik Golden Sliced (cube cut thanks to chasingembers) in a 2017 Irina Serova Squat Tomato with a fine sandblast finish. Heavenly.
Finished off a tin of Peterson Elizabethan Mixture in a Missouri Meerschaum bent Country Gentleman cob this morning.
‘97 Mcclelland Mature Virginia 22 in the ‘63 Group 1 Dunhill Tanshell.
Just smoked the last of my Murray's 1810 Belfast. I open lots of tins and keep a fairly wide rotation, so it feels like I take 6+ months to finally finish one. I enjoyed this blend, but unless it hits a ridiculous sale price, there are too many other similar blends to ever buy it again. In fact, I'm not convinced it isn't just John Bull in a tin.
