The drive across the dark desert this morning was the usual in the usual.
Note that I’m out of the office, it’s Coniston Cut Plug in the J11P.

After breakfast smoke: HU Director's Cut in the new GH Zhang octogon.
Boswell’s Raspberry Cream in a Falcon
I bought it in June as part of a Boswell’s sampler, and never got around to trying it since I’d pretty much given up on aromatics. It’s pleasant, and even gives occasional hints of raspberry

Radice Rind Pure with The Doctor’s Own Blend.
I started the day with a bowl of a Pegasus and then a bowl of Exclusive in the Devil Cutty. Now enjoying some Rouxgaroux in a clay.
Telegraph in the smooth 510ks. So delicious.
Burley Morning in a ŚOREN handmade. Hot strong coffee. 
Smoldering some Viprati in a Tekin squashed tomato with coffee.

Breaking in the Pete Iora plateau with some Chelsea Morning.
Taking a break from my usual dark fired heavy hitters and pure Virginias to try some Lane 1-Q this morning, in a Savinelli 401 Churchwarden.
Since 1-Q is consistently the best selling blend on SmokingPipes, I feel the need to revisit it now and then to see what all the fuss is about. I can definitely see why people like it, since it's very smooth and has a pleasant enough creamy sweet flavor that isn't quite vanilla but is very unique and distinctive, and a room note that seems like it would be a real crowd pleaser.
Really the only major complaint I could make about it is the total absence of any nicotine, which to me kind of defeats the purpose of smoking tobacco. I suppose the act of smoking can be relaxing and enjoyable even without the nicotine, and if you wanted something very similar to 1-Q but with a bit of Vitamin N then it's easy enough to pick up a pouch of Captain Black Original.

2019 Rouxgaroux in the Imp Sitter with morning coffee.
Sun Bear Black Locust in a lattice tomato meer getting me through the lunch hour. 
A third of a bowl left of 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. All the cats are fed. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Troutstream in the smooth Rhodesian, with a tad of latakia added. Have a great day everyone.
