Thanks. That idea had occurred to me, but Tomato is careful about cars so I'm thinking it wasn't that. Wish I knew for sure.

Anthology 2023 in a MM Little Devil Cutty.
I didn't care this blend at first, but it's grown on me. Like @TN Jed said, it a easy smoking Virginia, with just enough sweetness and complexity to make it enjoyable.

Gawith Hoggarth’s Dark Birds Eye in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
A bowl of PS Luxury Twist Flake in a Sterncrest silver band Algerian briar second.
Orential Silk in a Walther Squashed Tomato
Today's smokes. Sutliff ERR Match in a cob earlier today:
And a bowl of Sutliff Victorian (Elizabethan Match) in my Savinelli 313 tonight:
Hmm, I hadn't set out to smoke Sutliff match blends exclusively today, just realized that it had happened.

Enjoyed a tasty Snap Dragon apple, and am nearing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2014 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DR 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Cleaning a few pipes.
Merry Monk in a Rattrays Harpoon. The cat likes to sit on the rug where she’s camouflaged. 
Smoke #14 in the blasted Canadian. Pegasus all the way
Moved on to Marlin Flake in a Stanwell DM, for member Relax62, who asked about it recently.
Smoke number four in my ten dollar LHS silver band second, with Anniversiary Kake.
There is no equal substitute for centuries old Algerian briar.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of unreleased 2021 Sutliff Virginia plug in a 2002 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend dublin sitter with a small horn ferrule accent and black acrylic saddle stem.
Now, I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2014 Uhle’s 00 in a straight smooth brown post-WW2 LHS Purex Superfine 74 Canadian with a metal screw-in tenon and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
For the evening, I had Tomato the Brave and Daisy the Feral Princess in the house , and Tomato stayed by my feet the entire time. All was peaceful until everybody got hungry. Everybody starting hissing at one another, and then Abner the Eager came out from behind my chair. I didn't know he was in the house, but all the hissing got his attention. I had to put the ferals out so Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger would relax, and eat in peace. I wanted to keep Tomato inside to rest his hip, but I had no choice in the matter because my cats come first, and it wasn't a pretty scene. For some reason, the ferals aren't staying inside the heated houses the last two weeks, but I'm sure they'll be okay.
Right now, outside, Tomato the Brave is stalking around "his territory" to show who the boss is. Daisy the Feral Princess chased off Abner. There was a light on by the side of the house, but when I went to look, I didn't see any cats. Whoever it might have been must have taken off like a rocket.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2019 black rusticated Peterson 312 full bend billiard with a military mount and a nickel cap with a cumberland 4AB stem and a N.A.P. bit. Haven't smoked this pipe in quite a while. I may end the day with this smoke.
Now smoking some Käpt'n Barsdorf's Bester Virginia (from the grey tube) and yes, this is definitely a morning-with coffee blend. In year's 2019 annual pipe, made by George Leoussis for the members of our local club.
May you have a nice 3d day of the year good people!

Great story and very interesting manuscript. At the beginning of my copy is Joyce’s quote about Ulysses;
‘I’ve put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant, and that’s the only way of insuring one’s immortality ‘
Really interesting piece of history. Did some looking into that bit. Nice score there Jim.
