Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and smoked a bowl of year 2012 Carter Hall in a 2015 Basil Meadows black sandblasted billiard with an aluminum band and a pearl red acrylic tapered stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in a while.
Exclusive, 5 bros, bobs chocolate, and half & half all in a Stanwell pot. Very flavorful with coffee and reading Louis L’Amour 
Off to work with a bowl of year 2021 Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
30 year old Richmond Medium Navy Cut in an Altinay.
Back home again after a few days away and Tashkent in the Ropp Superior Algerian Bulldog Is So Good! with licorice tea.

Now smoking Wilke No. 78 in a straight black sandblasted undated, unbranded Made in France short shank billiard with a long black vulcanite tapered stem. Working and listening to The Secrets of Scotland Yard from my radio collection.
Kajun Kake in a Kai Nielsen Danish Dublin
Thank you sir! It's a great smoker.
Kelly's Coin in a Peterson Christmas Sandblasted X105. 
Starting the new week as usual with Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69. 
Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
OJK in an Irish Seconds System 302 with the second cup of coffee. 
Passing the last third of this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Finished work for the night.
Thanks! We had a good time. Popped a bottle of Champagne de Margerie with shrimp, St. Andre and Lincet French triple cream cheeses and followed it with homemade chicken alfredo and Caesar salad with a bottle of borolo. Then off to the porch to smoke our pipes.
Good taste in ceegars. One of my all-time faves.
One more bowl for me tonight as i just pulled back into the smoking lounge. Pegasus in an Ascorti.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2020 Uhle’s Blend 44 in a 1922-38 Made in Ireland Peterson Dublin 3 straight smooth dark brown bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. Fed the ferals except for the absent Abner the Eager.
MacBaren Golden Extra in my no name Octo.
Almost half way through this bowl of Wilke Back Bay w/o perique in a straight black sandblasted 1924 Parker’s Super Briar Bark 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe was made in the second year of Parker production. I'll close out the day with this smoke. I have cats all around me right now.
Monday Monday... separated the coins out of some Cabbies, half filled the bowl of my new Chacom Reverse Calabash with the broken and ribbons that were left. This has a combustion chamber of which Embers would approve, vast. A slow, gentle smoke, full of flavour, very very rewarding.
Solani Aged Burley Flake in the Sarome Cambridge. This is fast becoming my workhorse pipe, @BingBong was right about these, you'd be hard pressed to find a better beater
