Good Sunday morning! Peretti 333 in a bones poker with coffee while listening to an interesting debate about inequality.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2014 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Been raining all morning and will all day, so no walking for me unless luck comes my way.
PA/black Cavendish 50/50 mix. This afternoon.
Ohhh, I like this shape! Kind of like a cutty?
Ezra Brooks is good. My best choice however is Buffalo Trace.
Carolina Red Flake in a Ryan Alden Cutty

Despite the cold, both pipe and match have been immensely enjoyable.

@StayPufft I enjoyed the Old Dark Fired in my clay pipes; @Chasing Embers says it would be his recommendation for finding out how long does a giant clay pipe take to smoke.
@simong Looks a nice pint; it would be good if we could get together for a pint and a clay.
I was just down the road from you in Nantwich yesterday when I went to see the Sealed Knot re-enactment. I had a tankard of ale and a smoke of GH brown twist in an Old Dominion Jamestown clay pipe with one of the re-enactors. He taught me how to tap the ash out of a clay pipe without breaking it; just lay the pipe across the back of your hand
and gently tap the ash out. I felt like I'd gone back in time (without a police box or a DeLorean)
Picked 6 bags of rubbish today, returned a shopping basket
& trolley and reported an abandoned Morrisons trolley in Chesterfield. Keeping up the good 
work!The bus
I caught to my litter picking session today was the same one I caught when I went to Nottingham pipe show in September; no Redcoat or clay pipe this timeFinished my twist now; thanks
for the re-enactment baccy suggestions.I remember you saying that I should get some of the SG Cannon Plug for the Sealed Knot re-enactments as it's said to have been smoked in clay pipes during the Civil War.
Pegasus the KW slight bent pot. lapsang a brewing on an inside type day looking over seed catalogs.
Close to finishing this bowl of year 2001 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1938 straight black grain relief Dunhill OX Shell bulldog with a silver band repair with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Lunch follows this smoke.
Smoked all my twist now - Man it went down well!
Watching the pups & the youngest play in the snow and enjoying a bowl of C&D Haunted Bookshop in what had become my favorite Pete, a 107 Donegal Rocky.
A twofer…after breakfast, I packed the Sav bulldog with Arrowhead, typical for me.
Shortly after that my first sample of plum pudding arrived from SP, too curious to let sit too long. The tin note was predictably smelly from the lat. I don’t have much experience with flake, but crumbled it up a bit and packed it in the Sav billiard. Seemed perfectly ready to light without the need to set out.
Very interesting flavor. Of course the lat stood out immediately, and the perique was easy to recognize, too, nose tingling not far behind. Change of pace, and I liked it.
I’ll get it jarred up and try it from time to time, will see how the experience evolves.

The pic resolution is about what my vision is after puffing that stuff...
