Is his first name Alex? Does he write crime books? If so, I met him several years back and hung out a bit in New York.

Savinelli Essenza Cipriota from June 2014 in a Dunhill Tanshell Diplomat from 1977
Just had the last third of my drive home smoke, University Flake in the no name Dane.
Good stuff? I got a tin last go ‘round and it may be one of the next to pop…
CAO Meerschaum with Lane BCA and a touch of Sutliff a frosty mint and several years of age. Bliss.
Just finished smoking year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a sandblasted medium bend 1950s Reuben era Charatan Deluxe 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Just cleaned a few pipes.
Off to work with a bowl of Wilke Edwin’s Burley in a post-WW2 straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 3 Shamrock bulldog with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. This blend is Wall Street with much less perique (10%) than the regular W.S. (which was my idea that John Brandt blended). This version was my idea, too, as I wanted a lighter BurPer for this pipe.
Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake, jarred in 2018, in a Peterson Christmas 2023.
Guessing you're over it by now, but just in case = mug of hot tea, some honey, squirt of lemon or a lemon peel & a good shot of Bourbon or Canadian Whiskey or Brandy. Guaranteed to fix what ails you!
NOTE: It'll be a long Winter, so this "medicine" can be used by many, many times.
Tonight, smoking some Capstan Blue (flake) in a pre-1960 Charatan Canadian.
Briar Fox in a Peterson Canadian.
Enjoyed a tasty Envy apple, and am half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite. Working and listening to The first episode of Philco Radio Time starring Bing Crosby. Got the entire run for free at Archive.org .
2013 Stonehaven in a Castello,
This is the last of it
This is the last of it
It’s an interesting blend for sure! I enjoy it from time to time.
C&D Kajun Kake in a little Peterson 230 Arklow. It makes for a nice ride home from work. 
Last bowl of Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia plug. In a Falcon. Dark, rainy and cold day. I guess that's why they call it winter. I'm the summer type.
Have a nice Friday good people!
Have a nice Friday good people!
Vauen No 14 in a Rubio.
Did a bit of low calorie snacking, and am smoking Wilke Surbrug’s Golden Sceptre in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Now smoking year 2022 Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a straight smooth ebony post-WW2 LHS Sterncrest 91 bulldog with a sterling silver band, a diamond shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Listening to The Saint from my radio collection.
