Smoking the first third of mb# Capstan Gold, with 3% Mississippi mud. In a MM Cobbler. Damn, this tastes good. This aroma reminds me of Ducados cigarettes from the 80s.![IMG_4593[12975].jpg](https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/data/attachments/363/363643-8eb37c518dcbbb967c4052164b188537.jpg "IMG_4593[12975].jpg")

Peterson B10 Limerick, purchased at M Cahill in Limerick. Bits of Whiskey Twist with Match Ready Rub. Feeling like a worn out Spaniard after burning down the fleet that was there to take me home.

Peterson's Irish Flake, in a new old stock Kiplay horn-stemmed full-bent chimney. One single flake, folded and stuffed, straight out of the (relatively new) tin. Took a bit of nursing that way but good and intense. At first, not the fullest, most diversely flavourful smoke I'm used to with PIF, and this I attribute to the new briar: it likes flake, but having smoked anything in it only twice before, its aerodynamic qualities are still revealing themselves - the draft is very efficient and calls for an extremely gentle approach. It seems to me that every pipe, like every tobacco, dictates a specific cadence for best enjoyment. YMMV, of course.
I have found chimneys prefer drier tobaccos.
After breakfast bowl of MFF in a Rattray's Olive Wood with coffee. 
Interesting. When I took it out to fill, I could almost hear it squeaking its preference for a fill of Semois. So next time...
Another one from the cellar I haven’t tried. Dobie’s Four Square Virginia from 2017 in a Jesse Jones billiard. 
Not getting the fermented Virginia flavor I was expecting. Taste is… cornbread? More like lightly buttered toast on the retro-hale.

Peter H. Curly Block from 2020 in a Piersel.
Trying SWRA for the first time in a Nording.
Enjoying my first smoke in a new Savinelli 320. Lane 1Q in the pipe and Old Speckled Hen in the pint.
Starting off my smoking day with a bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Abner the Eager happily ran inside when I opened the back door. Harry the Hairy was right behind him although Harry was trying to bully him. They get along less well than before, and they didn't get along then, sad to say. Harry doesn't seem to like other cats. I kept them apart so both could eat. Haven't seen Tomato the Brave yet.
Cigar Time: Trinidad Espiritu Series No 2
Autumn Evening in a Gasparini Zebra. 
Quick smoke in the sun out of the wind with some Lane Black Raspberry in a Peterson 80s Red Spigot. Too cold and blustery to try and take pictures.
Love Scottie's pencil shanks. Did yours have the drilling to the center of the tobacco chamber? If so, is it ever an issue cleaning that with a pipe cleaner? Curious...
Moving right along to a bowl of ODF in a Brian Doran.
