C&D Anthology a Rubio. This has some promise, needs a few more days to breath.

Neither would I. My girlfriend at the time bought it from her local Tinderbox. The date symbols are confusing, and until the advent of the internet, I didn't understand what they meant. I've never seen date symbols on another Caminetto, but I suppose they must have done it for a short time for some reason.
It's a cross with a 5 at the top right and a 01 under it. The number 3 is on the top left, and under that is a 3.
GL Pease Meridian from October 2020 in a Dunhill Shell Cherrywood Poker from 1976
Wow, cool pipe. Looks like a Bringham on steroids! Any idea how they get that finish? Looks lit it’s been shot with a .410 shotgun from distance.
C&D Redburn in a Peterson.
Gawith Skiff Mixture in a cob.

^ That cob still looks pretty new!
I smoked a mix of Amphora Virginia and C&D Virginia Flake in the MM Morgan earlier today. I'd say it was successful. The C&D is bright but perhaps a little thin, and the Amphora a little bitter and not sweet enough (for me) on its own.
It's fun and educational to mix different blends and blending tobaccos together, but eventually my laziness will win out, and I'll just want to smoke stuff that already tastes like I want it to.

Peterson 395 fishtail bent with some Maltese Falcon
Thanks! I love the dark stain and camo stem. I took it on a turkey hunt and my buddies had a good time giving me hell about a camo pipe.
Now smoking 2018 Sutliff Walnut Match in a 1974 smooth brown slight bend Tinderbox Aalborg freehand made by Nording with a black vulcanite stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in quite a while.
A small Romeo Y Julieta (Mini) this morning, the last one from a 20 pcs metal box. Another tin is finished.
I remember the lyrics of this old, melancholic but beatiful song:
"... I sit and watch as tins go by..."
Have a nice Wednesday good people!

Enjoyed a light snack, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of 2019 C&D Yorktown in a 2016 PSF POY quarter bend black sandblasted Steve Norse Vermont Freehand egg with an aluminum band and a tortoise shell colored acrylic saddle stem. Been quite a while since I smoked this pipe which is a very good smoker.
Mac baren classic in my Greek pipe! Have a good day!
Swr aromatic in the tekin for bowl 25
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am half way through this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a 2018 David S. Huber 5718 medium bend black sandblasted billiard with a black acrylic saddle stem. Figured I'd continue the theme of smoking long neglected pipes. I could do that for several days.
Here's Molly Danger snoozin'.

Sunset Harbour Flake in the Brebbia Fat Bob, and in the Brebbia 1997 Calabash a home blend of equal parts Kendal Kentucky, 515-RC1 (red VA), and Newminster No.400 (VA flake).
Both of these bowls were kind of muted in flavor, just subtle sweetness from Kentucky/VA blend, and a bit of bready flavor out of Sunset Harbour Flake.
I can attest the C&D ready rubbed flake burns quite well, might have to try some SotE flake someday.

Last smoke of the day is year 2019 C&D Derringer in a smooth almost full bend, brown 1981 Briar Workshop round brandy signed by Elliott Nachwalter with a tapered pearl gold acrylic stem. A great smoker.
Stayed away from the Cringle Flake but did buy into this one. Glad to hear it has some promise as it’s going away for some time in the cellar.
Enjoying some Sir John Aylesbury Virginia in a Rad Davis Cherrywood.
