Smoking Bob’s Chocolate Flake in a Grand Slam. This has got to be the only aromatic I smoke. I hope Gawith never goes light on the sauce, because this one needs it. Please, just charge us 1$ more per tin and stop fucking with the sauces. Yes, we KNOW how you like to mess with the sauces.
Aged Old Dominion in an Erik Nielsen. Enjoyed with a tasting of Silver Needle and Duck Shit.
Almost finished smoking pre-2014 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.
PS LTF in a cob with water to get me through the afternoon. 
Molto Dolce this afternoon. Wish I had written a date on the tin I know it's been opened over two years. Still very moist.
HU Director’s Cut in a Castello KK Pot. @Sigmund turned me on to this blend. Excellent blend and even more so with some dry time on it.
I have a tin I’ll age and come back to and see if there’s any changes.

I was curious how that one would clench? Looks like it does well.

Finally some time to myself while the little one naps. Enjoying some PS LNF in the Savi 127. Have a great Friday everyone!
Had to cut my walking reps short due to the mist which turned into rain as a soon as I got inside the house. I've a third of a bowl left of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Lunch follows this smoke.
C&D Haunted Bookshop in a Peterson Short Army 701.
First smoke in the Christmas Pipe. Stokkebye Champagne.
Low Country VaOr in the new UPCA Chicago 2024 Bones. 
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Dark Vintage Cut in a Rattray's Yule 2023 Sandblasted with a cup of black tea.
2019 Hu Tuarekh. This blend is a bit high on the Latakia for me, but Hu does that well while making it taste like a much lighter blend. This stuff is stellar as is the 2019 Zulu I have. When was the last time you smoked a blend at 58% Latakia that didn’t come off as a Lat bomb? This is it. All the other components shine through and it isn’t harsh or one dimensional.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. One of these days, I'll take a new photograph of this pipe to show how it's darkened since I got it. Gold Star Peruvian Macchu Picchu, neat, is my drink. It's one of the best coffees in the GS line up.
Exclusive in a Savinelli this afternoon. 
2024 Cringle Flake in a Ligne Bretagne prince.
