Chenet's Cake in a Peterson Christmas Sandblasted X105. This stuff is really growing on me! For practical and financial purposes I began the year aiming to have 10 blends or less at the end of the year that I would focus on stockpiling. This is certainly one of them! 
This has been finals week, meaning my time at the computer has been dominated by grading and writing test questions. The upside has been overall less need to get to my school as early as usual. Every day this week I have been able to sneak a short walk and smoke on a walking path on my way to work.
The smokes have all been in Falcons: Gawith Hoggarth Kendal Dark/Kendal Kentucky, St. Bruno, and Peretti 52 (it was a warmer morning calling for a subtler tobacco). This morning had a windchill of 0 F with strong gusts, so I picked slow-burning Samuel Gawith’s Cannon Plug to brighten the day for my predawn stroll.

The next pipe is an Austrian ?Andreas Bauer gourd calabash

Wow, my first take on the 24 Cringle is…Wow. Haven’t researched into other reviews. Not sure if Jim’s posted, but the lack of Perique actually makes me think the Perique was over-kill on the previous years. This is incredible.
Tonight, I am smoking Wilke 44 in an Amorelli Kentucky. It was the 2017 upca slow smoke pipe in Chicago.
Thank you. Small pipe but great Flake smoker.
H&H LJ Heart Burley in an Estella 131. Still showing my Estellas some love.
McClelland 2011 Christmas Cheer in a Willmer AAA brandy shape.
Moving on to Wilke 184 in a reg era Stanwell 55. This is a solid smoke.
Nothing today, and this evening started off with Ryback+P in the Grabow Color Duke.
A little later it was 1792DKF in the little 1930’s Kaywoodie Pup.

One more for me today while flipping on some Netflix and going to bed with an episode of "Better Call Saul."
A nice bowl of navy blend in a GH Zhang octogon panel.

Risking the wrath of Mrs. Wyf with some HH Vintage Syrian in an Estella 111
I smoked half a tin of Gaslight and gave it away to a guy at pipe club. I then experienced what's it's like to be near someone smoking Gaslight. It was... something
Love your cob lineup by the way!
Burley Flake #2
Been busy, and unable to post as a result. Been smoking, feeding cats, etc. I've passed the half way mark of this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Give Me Liberty in a straight smooth medium brown pre-1920 straight Marechal Ruchon & Cie. Royale apple with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Have enough for one more bowl.
You got 'em narrowed down?
I'd guess Burley Flake #2, Chenet's made your cut...
Pegasus? Kajun Kake?
@umbrella001 Nice pipe and good baccy choice! I take my long stem clay when I go to clay pipe era re-enactment events and the Viking events so Jason the blacksmith can light it with an ember from his forge - a churchwarden is well suited to getting lit from the forge
