PS Luxury Twist Flake in an old BB&S straight billiard.
Almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Sleepy Suzy is by my side.
Early Mroning Pipe in my 1977 Dunhill 41011
Weekend’s finally here (albeit on call)!
CRF/TS20 in the J07

Couldn't log on last night because my security software prevented me, I thought maybe they finally found us hiding out in the Matrix! Anyway, Burley Flake #2 in a Pete Irish Harp Lovat. 
Thank you, sir! I've had it a year or so...old stock in my semi-local B&M...I succumbed to a bout of haggling where we were both happy. It is relatively heavy, but smokes great! and I think it looks good, too.
Brown Flake Scented in a Radice Silk Cut
Still gearing up for Flaketastic February! First time with Sillem's Mayor 1814 Flake...fresh from the open in my Orlik Perfect Billiard. Sipping decaf.
You'll have to forgive my newbieness, but what exactly is this?
Now smoking John Aylesbury Scottish Blend in a 2002 black pebble finish straight Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano lovat with a black acrylic saddle stem. This should get me to dinner time.
Oh very straightforward: get out your flakes for smoking in February! Participation is strictly voluntary. You are not required to exclusively smoke flakes, nor any flakes at all. But if you have a flake in your cellar and needed any more excuse to get into it: you're welcome!
Gladora 40 . OK , but the virginias are lacking something. This flake may be improved with the use of better virginias.
Celebrating a new job offer with a tin of 2017 McClelland’s 221B Black Shag in my beloved Savinelli Roma 626. It is simply a magnificent tobacco.
What's this I hear...........1792 being relegated because the taste spuds have fatigued, you extol the virtues of this blend against all others and now this. Oh Lordy you're lucky the Best Blend thread is locked or it would be carnage
Hey, everyone gets palate fatigue sometimes! Besides, I've always had a soft spot for heavily topped aromatics where you can retrohale every puff with no sinus discomfort and never have to worry about smoking too much and getting nicotine sickness; and Captain Black Original and Lane Very Cherry both definitely meet that criteria. If it makes ya feel any better I did smoke some C&D Cordial and Haunted Bookshop the other day though.
I also followed through with my idea of picking up pouches of Borkum Riff Mixture with Bourbon Whiskey and Five Brothers to try, and hopefully shake me out of the blend boredom funk I've been in lately. Some Briar Fox is sounding pretty good right about now too, so I might have to dip into that jar tonight.
Five Brothers is some powerful leaf.Hey, everyone gets palate fatigue sometimes!

Briar Fox in my Peterson 314.
This could possibly be my favorite pipe of all time.

Hopefully there’ll be no emergency cactus removal operations!
Haha, 1792 will do that to you and just proves the point that its not the best blend if it makes you feel like shite
