Now smoking Hearth & Home AJ’s Vaper in a pre-1952 Sutliff Falcon 372 (made by Comoy’s) smooth light brown straight bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Fed all the ferals except for the absent Abner the Eager.
Currently smoking my Scott Klein blasted bent apple with some Hearth and Home - Larry's Blend from 2013, while playing some notes on my Peavy T-40.
I'm a little late to posting but on this evening's commute home i decided to enjoy some C&D Chocolate Supreme in my Altinay with a side of black tea.
Hope everyone had a great day!

Smoking a Morgan Bones Milan tonight and trying out my little custom blending experiment that I'm calling 1791-Q, which is a mix of 80% Lane 1-Q and 20% Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake.
I was looking for a way to give 1-Q a nicotine boost and this mix certainly does that! Flavor wise though you definitely know then the 1792 catches the flame, because even as just 20% of the mix it really overwhelms the 1-Q. They're both vanilla'y blends, but the flavors just don't jive quite the way I hoped they would and the herbaceous tonquin vanilla'ish flavor of the 1792 overpowers the creamy vanilla extract flavor of the 1-Q.
It's not a terrible blend by any means, but I don't think I'll be mixing it up again. For 1-Q with a bit of nicotine I think Captain Black Original or (if you want more Burley flavor and less topping) RLP-6 is the way to go.

Did some low calorie snacking, and am smoking Wilke Surbrug’s Golden Sceptre in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Daisy the Feral Princess went after Harry the Hairy a couple of minutes ago. She didn't like Harry getting attention from m'lady. After m'lady got between them, Daisy went to the back door to be let out, which I did. I'm sure that Harry was not sorry to see her go.
Enjoyed a self-made cherry blend in an old Comfort church warden which I converted into an opera pipe. It's only 5" long now and fits in a shirt pocket in case an opportunity to smoke presents itself, like it did today.
Enjoying a celebratory bowl out in my truck in the parking garage of the hospital.... Why, you might ask... Because my wife gave birth to our sixth child about two hours ago. My fifth son, Conor Patrick was born tonight! God is good! 
Gorgeous looking pipe! I'm a huge fan of Klein's as a middle-TN guy, but I think all he's doing anymore is the vulgar expensive handmade original ones. I own one, but it's my most expensive pipe, and remains unsmoked. If your pipe is one of those, I admire you for telling yourself it's a pipe and pipes are made for smoking!
Congratulations! Lovely family there.Enjoying a celebratory bowl out in my truck in the parking garage of the hospital.... Why, you might ask... Because my wife gave birth to our sixth child about two hours ago. My fifth son, Conor Patrick was born tonight! God is good!

What do you think about that blend? I really like Balkans, especially Magnum Opus. I missed out on getting more Black House. Would you say it'd be worthwhile picking up some while still available? Is it decent quality orientals?
It's a Handmade from 2011. I bought it as an estate from Smoking Pipes .com last year, so it was already smoked. Its in great shape, it was at a good price, and it's a great smoker. So a big win for me.
Smoking Old Dark Fired in one of my favorite pipes. It really hits the spot when I’m in the mood for it.
Bought another clay in Matlock yesterday; paid £8 for it. Looks like it had a longer stem originally; not a churchwarden but longer stem than my other clays. It's been smoked but not too heavily.
Vegetation clearance volunteer day at the Avenue with Don Catchment Rivers Trust today. Got some more firewood to saw up for Jane as well.

We’ve been making that as a disinfectant the last couple months with the threat of bird flu potentially on egg cartons.
Finished work for the day, and am close to finishing this bowl of D&R Windsail in a straight smooth brown undated (1940s?) Orlik Reject London Made 0 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching the last half of Terror By Night starring Rathbone and Bruce.
Many congrats on the new baby!!!Enjoying a celebratory bowl out in my truck in the parking garage of the hospital.... Why, you might ask... Because my wife gave birth to our sixth child about two hours ago. My fifth son, Conor Patrick was born tonight! God is good!
