First smoke in my new SMS six panel bent Dublin lattice meerschaum will be Deception Pass.
Very windy here in the desert southwest, but I'll still be able to huddle on the leeward side of the house for some Salty Dogs in a Savinelli dry system with Gentleman Jack to accompany this wonderful tobacco.
Decided to enjoy an aromatic with a cup of coffee. Smoking a 2006 Boswell freehand swirl with Boswell 2021 Pennsylvania Dutch treat.
Since I don’t have a microwave oven and wanted to skip drying time, I decided to place a small plate of tobacco in the toaster oven for a few minutes. It seemed to work well. Definitely took the moisture out of the tobacco and after a few minutes cooling it was ready to pack. It’s smoking very nicely.

As Reloader said, it's very windy. And cold in my neck of the woods. Tiny bit of snow last night. Had a bowl of Luxury Navy Flake in a clay. Sat on my covered porch, and the pipe kept my hands warm. Brr. Back inside now. Kind of funny. My dog didn't even follow me out, just stayed on his bed in the living room. Spoiled? MY dog? Say it ain't so! Have a good evening all.
First smoke of Sutliff Duke Albert in a Peterson Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted #53 Lovat with the chamber coating removed. Enjoying it with a cup of Nettle tea.
btw, one of the roving gangs of local turkeys assaulted my front porch this morning. The closest one was eying my hand, hoping i had some treat (Nope!). These birds are a menace in the 'hood!
Amphora Burley in my Altinay bent billiard lattice meerschaum. This is quickly becoming my favorite tobacco of all time. too bad they don't make it in pound increments.
Waiting for my daughter to finish dance, parked in the Sam's Club parking lot next door.

Enjoyed it so much this morning, decided to have another ; LJP - RCTR in a BBB Ultonia
About a third of a bowl left of Peretti Royal in a black sandblasted medium bend 2013 Mark Tinsky Coral 5 cherrywood with a smooth dark brown shank and bottom with a tapered black briar accented acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
@Carol I enjoyed the Luxury Navy Flake in my clay pipes; glad you're enjoying your clays.
Now smoking the first bowl from a freshly opened bag of year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. It's a shame this blend has been weakened.
Wizards Rainbow in the '78 Dunhill Dead Root B.
TCS Hunting Creek in a little Vauen paired with a Chianti - no fava beans though Clarice.
Smoking a pork belly in my Green Mountain, and also Amphora Kentucky Blend in my Emerald cob.
I love the grain on this pipe! Very striking indeed.
This particular artisan is pretty passionate about working with birdseye grain, and it shows in his work.
