Good day all! Started with Peterson Elizabethan Mixture in a Tilshead smooth Billiard with sleight-bent saddle stem size 5. Very nice in this pipe, which is my go-to pipe for Royal Yacht.

Got rid of 2 bags of rubbish today; received my parcel from @simong and got another missed parcel card - I think it could be some more pipeweed!
Smoking SWR in a cob, some light yard work done, listening to Jimmy Forrest”Out of the Forrest”. Gonna be in the 80’s today, crazy weather!
Nice railway mug that you have there!
McClelland 2030 in a Castello Collection.
Mac Baren Virginia Flake in a cob while listening to some horror stories on a podcast. Drinking water.
Pretty nice.
Pretty nice.
Peterson Killarney, B 10, Peterson Dalkey 999, Peterson Cara, B5. British Series of Pipes completed, so today begins the Irish series. These three start the day.
Escudo in my recently cleaned Chacom Star 518. This little guy is great for brief work break smokes
Starting off my smoking day with this bowl from a first production tin (2013) of 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. Rain and fog precludes walking today, unless we get a break today.
Happy to see you smoking again!
Enjoying a bit bit of Chelsea Morning in the Ben Wade.
The tin I popped has bout 3 years of age on it. The perique seems much more evident than I remember.The tin note was an explosion of plum and stewed fruit and about a third of the way through a really nice pepperiness developed with a lot of oriental presence on the retrohale. I’m looking forward to smoking more from this tin.

Morning all.
Couple hours of calls starting in a couple minutes -- will be nursing a pipe of Eight State Burley (and maybe refilling). In my Viking rusticated Dublin.
Sometime this week I will open up a new-to-me tobacco. (Shoot -- which means either tomorrow or Saturday.)

@Trainpipeman thank you ? The LNER was the local railway company here in the 1923 Grouping. Here in the village we still have an intact engine shed as well as a water tower. Sir Nigel Gresley’s designed Pacific’s A1/3/4 were popular engines here on the Waverley Line. My Great Uncle Davey Wilson was a driver, starting as a cleaner and working his way up. He started with the North British, then the LNER and finally retiring with British Railways. My late father Thor beside arguably the most famous steam locomotive in the world, when she visited the Waverley Line.
Happy smokes

It's cool to see the train where the dart player, Gary Anderson, got his nickname.
Thinking of you, @Tar Wheel -- hope you don't have to evacuate.
2015 GH&Co Grasmere mixed with 25% 2019 C&D Carolina Red Flake. I had a bit of CRF left from yesterday that was sitting overnight and well dried. Mixed it in figuring it would help along the burn of the Grasmere, which was a bit moist.
An excellent combo, in my dedicated Stanwell 139 Brushed Brown.
As I sit here smoking this, I might have to do this combo more often…

Nearing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2001 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1938 straight black grain relief Dunhill OX Shell bulldog with a silver band repair with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Have enough left for a couple of bowls. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
