Marlin Flake in an egg-in-claw meer with a bottle of 1554 dark ale in the hottub:
Cigar Time: Trinidad Espiritu Series No 1
After lunch smoke is Prince Albert in a Peterson Dracula 80s.
Catching up on the news with Rouxgaroux in my Merchant Service Short Dark Cutty and coffee.
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. Fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. Tomato the Brave is eating, now. Daisy the Feral Princess is snoozin'. I guess she's not hungry. I'll look for Harry the Hairy and Abner the Eager after Tomato finishes his wet food. And I'll look to see if it's safe to do a set of walking reps. The sun is out, but I'm not sure how icy the road is.
Going to have Esoterica Tobacciana Dunbar in a Savinelli Autograph Bent Dublin (Gruppo 6).
Autumn Evening in a Gasparini Zebra. 
Bob’s Chocolate Flake in an IMP Lattice Poker 
Sunday morning and it's the first pipe of the day. Right now I'm smoking a mixture of 3 parts Half & Half and one part SWR. It's a nice change from the English blends I mainly smoke and works well in a Savinelli with balsa insert. 
That smoky/leathery smell when opening a new tin is something special to me.
They say your first love is always special and this certainly is true to my pipe smoking journey. I started my very first smoke with an EMP, and aromatics were only my second go-to option.

1792 in a Peterson Dracula, while finishing off the rest of the morning coffee.
In case you missed it this is from a previous post.
I have several Savinelli filter pipes I use to smoke an occasional aromatic. Here's how to save money on the filters. Instead of buying the actual filters. I go on ebay and buy a pack of balsa wood rods in the right size (3/16x1/8") and cut them to length and that's it. Cost is about 10% the cost of filters and they work just as well. A tip: if you cut the ends on a slight angle the pipe draws better.

After a nice grilled filet mignon and sliced fingerling potato lunch it's time for a cigar. Guantanamera 310 Anniversario Churchill and some Ardbeg 10 on the side. The Ardbeg is making a serious argument for replacing my Lagavulin 16.
Bought me some Brown X but am chicken to try it.But honestly I think Brown Irish X is much much stronger
Have some Black X and it's one of the stranger smokes I've ever had. Truly tasted like meat to me. I've read it needs some time, so I sliced it and jarred it up.
