2013 PS luxury navy flake in my 125th Peterson deluxe Rua finish 5s. This pipe hasn’t had anything but this blend smoked in it and I plan on sticking to that.

One Evening Flake folded and eased right into my Briarworks 10th Anniversary Blasted Zulu. Ahhhh...
Orlik Golden Sliced in a Castello Collection Author.
2018 Capstan Blue Flake in a Howell.
Don't laugh .... don't scorn.
50/50 home blend .... Wessex Brown Flake & Esoterica Dunbar --- components all seemed compatible.
And OMG, magnifico (!!!). In a Pete Standard System (rusticated) 305 .... fishtail, not P-Lip.
Might qualify for "Desert Island".

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem.
All the ferals were here to eat when I got up today, except for Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave because they spent the night inside out of the rain. I let Abner the Eager in to eat, and he took his usual snooze afterward. Sam the Scamp and Harry the Hairy have an interesting dynamic. They are friends most of the time, and it’s obvious to me that Harry is the boss of the two. Today, Harry, who had spent the night on our deck, was territorial about eating even though I put down two plates of food at a distance. Harry wanted Sam’s food, too, and stalked Sam until Sam stopped being nervous, and they sniffed each other’s noses. I have seen them do that many times. I’m not sure what that means, but it hasn’t resulted in any arguments so far as I can tell.
Even though Harry the Hairy gets skittish toward me, he also is very friendly now. He gave me a happy meow and when I was scratching his head, he marked my hand for the first time. Harry keeps trying to get in, which isn’t going to happen. Anyway, I came back inside, and Sleepy Suzy started smelling my hand with an unusual chattering. She didn’t like the smell of Harry on my hand.

Opened a jar of Pegasus from Feb. '22. Love it when, after removing the band, the lid is still stuck on there so tight I have to be careful not to cut myself in prying it off.
Loaded up the big boy G for giant Castello

Smoked Big n' Burley in a cob when I got off work. Now smoking Elizabethan mixture in a Baraccini Bulldog.
Did a little low calorie snacking, and have passed the quarter mark of this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Give Me Liberty in a straight smooth medium brown pre-1920 straight Marechal Ruchon & Cie. Royale apple with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Daisy the Feral Princess wanted inside because she was afraid of Harry, who was moaning loudly at her. I let her in. Daisy was in the kitchen when Molly Danger came out to eat. Molly was very unhappy to see Daisy, and I had to take Daisy out of the kitchen so Molly could eat.
Molly Danger sez to me "Tell Miss Tuxedo to get out of my kitchen."
Sam the Scamp jumped up on the deck when he heard me put food down. Harry wasn’t thrilled about see Sam. He chased Sam way, and then spent his time guarding the food dish to keep others away. Eventually, I brought Sam in the eat.

LL-7 in my Savinelli 413 Luisa Fiammata (25/50)
Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2018 Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in my trusty 1970s smooth three quarter bend Peterson System Standard 305 dublin with a black vulcanite p-lip stem. This is the second Peterson I bought, and my first ever estate pipe in 1981.
Just watched the recorded version of the Super Bowl whilst smoking some Star of the East Flake in a Castello #33. Glad I recorded it so I could work the fast forward button in overdrive to get through the advertisements, 70 mins of football and 300 mins of meh! Not sure the best team won today and the Chiefs will miss their wise old coach keeping those big egos in check next year.
Last smoke of the day is Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a smooth medium bend terracotta Peterson POY 2023 X160 464/1100 military mount egg with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Reading while this bowl lasts.
Lighting up some Psychoanalysis in the new to me Il Duca. I like this little pipe. Its a nice smoker. I dont love the draft hole being in the center but if you want this shape there isnt much option. Some meer chips seem to keep the draft hole pretty clear.

Fell asleep in my chair, but was awakened by Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave meowing in four part harmony with full orchestration, "You can get anything you want at Jim's restaurant, so wake up and feed us, lazy bones!" I did, and so I am smoking year 2020 Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem.
Burning some Match ERR in my Butz/Choquin Regate Geante Extra. This pipe is loaded with very 'fine' bird's eye grain.
The tobacco: Sutliff's Match ERR arrived last week and I was amazed to see how chunky it was. like cube cut flake.

I love Savinelli Eleganza look (the rustic version).
