Still had some Captain Black in my Don Regular Canadian, so I topped it off and am enjoying a rare blue sky winter day here on the Oregon coast!
A beautiful day with the sun out (momentarily) almost 50°F. Sitting down with Peretti Cuban mixture in the Chinese lumberman. 
C&D Mountain Camp, the same tobaccos as Night Bayou but in different proportion for a milder smoke, in a rusticated Luciano billiard with a thick-walled large chambered bowl and a straight saddle stem. This I packed for after supper.
This week I attended the first in three sessions of a sermon writing course, just for the adventure of tackling that form of writing, though I'm in the class with various retired ministers, rabbis, and counselor types. Hearing a minster explain how it's done, and why, and so forth, is revelatory. As he said, people hear the sermon they want to hear. A few will be selected to deliver their work during the summer when the professionals are away. In my one-line intro with my name, I said I was there because I thought I might get a poem out of it. There was a long pause, and then a rattle of laughter.

That’s a nice looking pot. I’m a fan of the shape.
It has become very slow now, but it’s coloring. Will post an update soon.
Now smoking 1960s Philip Morris Revelation in a mid-1970s smooth brown medium bend Ed Burak Connoisseur bulldog with an acrylic black saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
A 50/50 mix of 2017 Yorktown and 2021Bright Virginia Ribbon in this wonderful Savinelli 802 Extra Canadian. A cup of black tea accompanying.
Thanks. So am I. And this pipe is a great smoker.
Mcclelland MV27 in the KBB Rocky Briar Hungarian.
Now smoking 1970s Philip Morris Revelation in a 1920s-30s Grant’s Pipe Shop Corinthian Deluxe 409 (made by Comoy’s) smooth brown medium bend bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Thought I'd compare this to the 1960s version I just smoked.
1997 McClelland St. James Woods in a Rad Davis billiard.
WC Waltham in a Charatan’s Make 348
Now smoking 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.
Nice... a little more upbeat than the original
