Second pipe of the day is Ennerdale in a smooth bent brandy, Italy stamped basket pipe. 
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2015 John Aylesbury Sir John’s Flake Virginia in a straight smooth light brown 2020 Ryan Alden Ace of Spades squat bulldog with a spalted pecan top and ferrule that’s on the tapered black acrylic stem.
Gawith Hogarth Brown Irish X Twist (unsliced rope) in a Gallwitz Legend pipe (a limited edition of 140 numbered Dublin-shaped pipes made from Corsican roots to commemorate that Budapest shop's 140th Anniversary in 2020; bought the pipe in a pilgrimage to their shop during a trip to Hungary a few months ago). Trusty Rodgers of Sheffield pipe tool and 1950's Nimrod Commander pipe lighter accompanying...
Mac Baren’s Scottish Mixture in Royalton again.
MB Navy Flake in a Castello Sea Rock
Strange smoke. Squadron Leader in Peterson POTY 2019 smooth P-lip. For a change, I remembered I was drying tobacco. So, it was at my preferred dryness. But for whatever reason, it won't light the way I wanted. Had to suffer through cool smoke. I don't like cool smoke. It's like eating cold fish that doesn't really taste like fish. How I imagine jellied eel. After couple of false light, was able to get it going and warm smoke was enjoyed with all the glory of pipe smoke.
Now smoking Chris Morgan Jackalope in a straight burgundy sandblasted year 2019 straight Ryan Alden J billiard/pot with a tapered cumberland stem. This will take a while to smoke. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Classic and classy across the board, from the pipe to the tool, lighter, rope tobacco, and razor blade. Very nice.
Frog Morton on the Bayou in my new Peterson St. Patrick's Day pipe.
Rum Flake in the 999. got a lot of outdoor work done today so that's nice
Went for a sunset lunt around the farm with my pup, Bear.

Seems fitting to pair some Balkan Sasieni in a family era Sasieni four dot Liverpool. 
Smoking HH Pure VA in an Ashton pebble shell Canadian.
The evening is perfect for sitting on the back porch with a pipe.

Another Irish Oak for the final bowl of the evening.
Second round with cowboy coffee with my Sav but this time with a glass of
Stokkebye's Optimum in the Forever Cob. As long as you keep the ember cool, it's a perfectly cromulent three-star blend.
Peter Stokkebye's Amsterdam 83 blend of citrusy Virginias and dark-fired Kentucky leaf in a MM and C&D collaboration cob with a dark amber colored bent stem with a diplomat bowl. Working on some writing projects prior to picking up my wife from her book group.
