C&D Oak Alley in an half bent by Cavicchi
9 year old Anniversary Kake in the Savinelli Hercules. Turned out to be a beautiful afternoon so I shall finish my working day enjoying a pipe and practicing some critical thinking…
Forget what I am smoking, but it is in a modified cob. 
Did a second set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.
Just had some C&D Izmir in my English cob while dealing with some snow:
It’s interesting; my first-ever bowl of this was basically dirty socks and burning leaves. But now that the pipe has been seasoned with 3 or 4 bowls of the stuff, it’s coming through clearer and I’m liking it more. Playing around with single-variety blending tobaccos has really driven home how much the “ghosts” of previous tobaccos (even mild ones) can influence what you taste, and that you shouldn’t put a lot of stock in your impressions of a tobacco until it has been smoked a few times in a clean pipe!

Solani aged burley flake in a Peterson silver spigot.
GH&Co Bright CR Flake in the Non-Bralng Barling.
Now smoking year 2021 HU Directors Cut in a smooth medium brown slight bend 1950s Comoy’s London Pride 337C prince with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink until later tonight.
2013 Capstan Original Navy Cut Flake in a trusty Pete 302.
After work = big bowl, Brown Clunee in a Castello GG
Squadron Leader in Peterson Kapp Royal 408 natural finish fishtail. A bit windy. But 70. I usually don't dry Latakia till crisp. Ok, I fall asleep. Dino's singing his heart out in the background.
Had a nice snowstorm come through overnight and drop about 4 inches of snow. We need the moisture! Now that I’ve got all the shoveling done, I have time for a relaxing smoke and a cup of black tea.
