A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Just had some St James Flake in my mystery mini-briar. This was left over from cube-cutting a flake a week ago, so it was pretty dry by this point. I was pleased that it stayed lit a little better but still delivered about the same flavor, with some nice sweet moments here and there that took me by surprise.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum. Fed the ferals, and Suzy. Molly is snoozin' by my feet. Watching an episode of The Untouchables.

Sitka is indeed a rain festival (I had a T shirt when I was a kid that said “Sitka Rain Festival Jan 1- Dec 31.”Grousemoor in a 1901 Sam McLardy & Co. Meerschaum with vulcanite stem.
Be well everyone!
This one goes out to @alaskanpiper because we’re having a Sitka day out here, and it made me think of Alaska and our Alaskan brother.
I stayed there a few months, the raining is insane, but at least more drizzle all the time, not buckets...
For those that don’t know it’s always raining in Sitka, probably the wettest place in the USA, and today here, it’s just like Sitka. LOL

I think it gets outranked by somewhere in Hawaii though for US’ wettest.
Nice pipe! Your one of the reasons I love this thread!
A big thanks to @beargreasediet for selling me a few ounces of 2021 Esoterica Brighton, without needing to take out a bank loan! LOL

Smoke #13 in the one year meer was H&H Virginia Spice from 2011 from 2021 Secret Santa @cosmicfolklore. Without knowing how the original tasted, the flavors have blended nicely.
