Good afternoon. We started smoking with. Davidoff: Flake Medallions, in a MM Carolina Gent.

That John is a picture of comfort right there bother. ?

DFK in a House of Uhle Estate billiard. It's a little chilly but I'm still enjoying the view.
Smoking in the living room, this is unheard of and unreal. I am currently in a high-level diplomatic relationship with my wife.That John is a picture of comfort right there bother. ?
A quarter of the way through 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.
HH Old Dark Fired in a Tekin bent Rhodesian Meerschaum.
Smoked some McClellands Dark Star Personal Reserve last night. This stuff is so perplexing. First...to the nose (jarred) it smells of werchestersherchireshirechire sauce. I have no other reference for this blend. I have this jarred few ounces and a still sealed can. Is that a normal smell? Makes my mouth water when I smell it...its fantastic.
Then when rubbing it to get smaller bits its a tough bugger. Maybe the age. I love it and really want to open the tin that I have but will wait until this jar is done.

A little fold and stuff action in my POY 2016
Haunted Bookshop in my smallest briar. 
Wessex Campaign Dark Flake (thanks @Tar Wheel !) in my rusticated Viking Dublin. Didn't bring my phone so no pic; working on a couple of final projects (I hope) for the week. It is a beautiful but cool and clear day in LA. Looks like some Morning Doves, I think a Western Goldfinch or two, and also Lesser Goldfinches; just had a few seagulls fly past, heading east, which is always a head scratcher. Crows are cawing in the distance. (That is for you @Servant King )
Just passing the half way mark on this bowl of first release Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
Elizabethan Match in a 1930’s Linkman’s Dr. Grabow.
@craig61a I've smoked some Gawith Black Cherry in my clay pipes; nice clay!
Really enjoy the bird reports! I love birds
^ Somebody just birdied with a chip shot!
@Servant King 's will almost always (if not always) out do mine. But we have done a fine job providing refuge for urban wildlife here, if I do say so myself. Our front and back yards/gardens are now almost entirely native CA plants, from ceanothus to rye to several buckwheats to toyons -- LA's official plant, which look like hollies, and my understanding is what people say on the Hollywood Hills -- to native agaves, desert willows (chilopsis) and do not underestimate phyla nodiflora, which is more wide ranging as a native but goes by the delightful common name of Turkey Tangle Fogfruit, It blooms little white flowers all summer, which the bees and other insects love.
