Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong mixed 50/50 with Peterson's irish Flake, in a Butz-Choquin Balzac with short stem. The Irish enlivens the Dark Strong, I find, which makes the Irish in turn more sedate. Dividing, replanting and manuring rhubarb crowns.

Would that be 2 cats or 2 dogs ?I agree. I can only think of one thing that makes me sleep more soundly.
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. Tomato the Brave was waiting by the back door, and he had plenty to eat. Haven't seen Abner the Eager or Harry the Hairy, but I know I will. Daisy the Feral Princess ate and is back on her blanket. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Two gumfuls of chew this morning. That's it. No pipe until tomorrow evening. Posted a lot earlier because there were a lot of wonderful pipes to comment on so I did.
Also angst. Range day today, and I'm doing handguns. Yay. Not looking forward to the probable newbie demos and possible rangewarden request in my area of weakness. However it is what it is and I'll have two homerollies and a thermos of cold coffee to console me. Cheers.
Yup, truly some great pipes displayed today.

Ribbon cut Smyrna, all sandalwood, teak, and cinnamon. Turning this stuff into Latakia is a crime against nature.
Two dogs and one cat knocks me out.Nailed it. Someone gets me.
Cornell and diehl wintertime reserve
Did a set of walking reps, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. The sun came out, and melted much of the snow, but the cold wind was still in force.
Autumn Evening in a Peterson 2021 POY
C&D Sun Bear Tupelo Honey in a Chacom with water. 
Playing in the snow this morning with my daughter, I smoked some Newminster 400 in a Molina
And impromptu visit to my B&M.
Just finished some Country Squire Whale Song in a Viking Classic Dublin.
Now into a load of SG Navy Flake in a Savinelli 606KS Bianca.

I'm getting reacquainted with an old favorite.
I realized the other day I hadn't smoked any of this in a year or two, so I opened a tin and it's just as good as I remember.

My head is reeling from checking the mail. Homeowners insurance has climbed so high the last two years.
Drowning my sorrow in a bowl of Firebird Flake.
I’ve been tinkering in my woodworking shop today watching the snow melt.
Don’t know why but I picked up a 304 Peterson Arklow that I bought new and hadn’t gotten around to smoking along with a December 2013 tin of Maltese Falcon I have been waiting to open.
Got a nice swoosh from the tin when I popped, loaded the Pete and am on my third bowl. I am enjoying it but not what I hoped it would be. Am forming an opinion that my favorite lat blends are just as good if not better fresh than aged.
I’m thinking I will go in and get a different pipe and tobacco in a bit, getting some moisture from the new pipe and should let it rest a bit.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and have a third of a bowl left of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Nightwish, neat, is my drink. My neighbor came over to fix our dishwasher, and wouldn't charge us anything for it. There's nothing like a good neighbor.
