That's funny. No, my dog's name is Firefly. Here's a picture of the little fellar.

Just finished smoking 2017 Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard with a tapered black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Time for some snacking!
Anniversiary Kake in my best pipe, a 1943 LHS silver band second.
I want to eat this pipe. My, how delicious!
And oh my, oh my, how pretty it is.

Passing the first third of the bowl of year 2018 Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a straight smooth brown 1960s-70s BBB Own Make 506 Canadian with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
A nightcap of PS Luxury Twist Flake in my Victors Hand Made Algerian Poker.

Did somebody say Firefly?
LOL 
I love Firefly!
Sutliff Anomalous in a Radice Rind Straight.
Off to go watch Jamestown on Prime, and see some more tobacco/clay pipe action.
@The Clay King I think you’d love this show!
Be well everyone!

@PipeIT I've seen a model of the Serenity from Firefly at the Cromford Mill Comic-Con event last year; it's a beautiful ship, so organic lookingDid somebody say Firefly?

Jason the blacksmith was dressed as a Martian Special Forces from War of the Worlds - no pipe lighting then
Earlier at my local B&M pipe night was Palmetto Balkin in a Nate King Blasted Diplomat.
@PipeIT I've got a replica Old Dominion Jamestown clay; I was smoking GH twist in it at last year's Battle of Nantwich. Just 3 weeks to this year's! Maybe get some screen captures from the Jamestown series & post them on the forum...Sutliff Anomalous in a Radice Rind Straight.

If I visited re-enactments in Virginia I'd probably smoke a lot of the baccy harvest - in a clay of course
Enjoyed a big and tasty golden delicious apple, and am half way through this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Give Me Liberty in a straight smooth medium brown pre-1920 straight Marechal Ruchon & Cie. Royale apple with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
I put one of those softee bits or whatever on this pipe tonight because, while not normally a clencher, there are times where I'd rather just clench when I briefly need both hands for something (like typing this right now) instead of setting the pipe down. The soft bit is nicer feeling in the teeth, but it makes me drool too much, so I pulled it off. Acrylic doesn't really bother me to clench anyway, just more of a test.
Wasn't feeling anything in particular, so loaded this 2023 Solani ABF (Kohlhase & Kopp) I haven't had in a while to remind myself how it was after seeing it in the 2023 best of elimination thread. Still hate the added chocolate flavor. I know burley naturally tastes "nutty and chocolaty" to many, but it never has to me, it was always floral, like pulling the stamens out of a white honeysuckle and licking off the nectar. Anyway, I hate chocolate, cocoa is tolerable in small amounts, but not chocolate.
Might give this open tin to this younger guy I know that smokes a pipe, if he still does anyway. I have another unopened tin of this, not sure what to do with it. Trading or selling online seems a hassle, as well as shipping. May just give him both tins.

Near the half way mark of this bowl of D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a tapered black p-lip stem. Whether I have another smoke or not depends on whether or not there is any more feral drama before I go to bed.
Daisy the Feral Princess has in and out of the house all day. She’s been snoozing’ in the studio, and she comes out when she wants our company, attention, food or to go outside. Not necessarily in that order. She tries hard not to cause problems with Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. Abner the Eager was in for a while earlier, and snoozed on my lap. Sam the Scamp’s been around every so often to eat, and I do that outside. I know he wants to be inside with us, but he’s so afraid of Tomato that I can’t do it. Tomato is mean to him. Enough so that when I fed Sam some minutes ago, Tomato wanted to go outside to chase him away. I didn’t let that happen.
My sinuses gave me a hard time after being out in the cold. After I did a bit of sneezing, Tomato was so concerned that he laid by my feet and put his paws around my left foot in an effort to comfort me. However, Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger were hungry for wet food, and neither one will eat if any other cat comes into the kitchen. I tried several times to get Tomato not to do that, but he was stubborn, and I had to take him outside. I did give him some wet and dry food. So, everybody’s eaten, Tomato’s back inside and sleeping on the couch. Hopefully, all will be peaceful for a while.
Tomato gets some scratching.
Sleepy Suzy (the top cat) and Molly Danger have a snooze after eating.

Smoking now a mix of mixtures, leftovers, scraps etc which I call "Frankenstein Mixture". It has 2 advantages, it's always a surprise and always a good one. So, I decided I will permanently fill a vase with portions of the opened tobaccos I have (usually about 4-5). In an EE2 pipe.
A nice 4th day of the year to all of you good people!

Not far from finishing this bowl of Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. I'll end the day with this smoke.
Update: Sam the Scamp wanted to eat, and I let him inside. I had to keep Tomato the Brave away from the kitchen, which he did after a little scolding. Sam was too afraid to eat, so I stayed with him to help him feel safe. I know he had less than he wanted, but he was too uncomfortable. He stayed in the kitchen for twenty minutes, and I figured it was best to take him outside so he would settle down. As soon as I did that, he ran, and then Daisy wanted out. When I let her out, Abner the Eager was standing by the door, and I let him in eat. Once he saw Tomato, he curtailed his meal, and wanted out although I think he really wanted to stay inside where it’s warm. I took him out, put dry food out for him and Daisy - at a distance - and both ate in peace. Since it’s after five a.m., maybe I can have some peace and sleep.
