This morning I'm packing a bowl of Batch 17 in this little Igor Skripnik that I'm breaking in. Batch 17 as you might guess is the 17th blend that I've made while experimenting with home brewed tobacco blending. It is a full English with a big dose of Latakia. Samsun and Basma for the orientals, and some really nice Virginias to bring everything together. I pressed the leaves together for 14 days and stoved the cake afterwards. I've really been trying to let this get some age on it. But it turned out so nice that I haven't been able to resist grabbing a flake regularly. Time for a big batch.

Close to finishing this bowl of circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.

All the commotion about Prince Albert got me thinking about this near-lifelong friend lately ...
... so I’ve loaded some up into a Stanwell Brushed Brown 86. The pipe is a solid smoker I picked up at a much-discussed online retailer for 19.99 + tax from one of their crazy sales. The tobacco will be sorely missed if the yet-unconfirmed rumblings are true (though I’ve got many tubs of this in the hoarde). Due to the relative humidity of full fledged winter up here in northern Michigan, dry time was short.

I dig your style man.Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Black Irish X in a Meer (Better now!)...
That’s is a beauty!
Smoking Carter Hall in a MM cob. Black coffee is my drink as I run a few errands.
Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke Beta Test in an undated quarter bend Royal Meerschaum lattice apple meer with a black, gold and cream swirl amber colored acrylic tapered stem. Been cleaning pipes, and listening to idiots who believe in Nostradamus.
Little known fact: Nostradamus predicted Picayune being discontinued..
My pipes froze for a few hours on Sunday morning. No damage. Mile high Arizona makes my wife happy as she was MN born and bred, but it can get too cold for me on occasion. Smoke indoors!
Does Ash know about that Granger catalog?
I should and use the paper for RYO. It’d be Granger, wrapped in Granger, smoked by someone who appreciates Granger. I mean, that’s almost inbreeding.

Oh no! Little Granger smoking, banjo playing, six toed tikes dividing up Daddies pipe collection!
Hey wait a minute........I have 3 tubs of Granger, a Granger catalog and a banjo sir! If I had feelings, they might be hurt
Enjoying a morning bowl of 2018 Hyde Park inside my carolina gent cob with dark roast coffee , i can’t wait to unpack my jazzmaster and pedalboard into my new studio this week .
