Putting my German Clay through a trial run today. Five Brothers followed by Revelation Match by Sutliff and now Velvet.

Forgot what I smoked in it. Either University Flake or Gold Flake. Fully rubbed out. 105 min and good 20 min left. Dumped it. Too hot to stay out and not enough to bother in the morning. Peterson SH Lestrade.

Smoking my first bowl since Monday, Squadron Leader in a Peterson's 315 pipe, after spending Tuesday & most of today in hospital after having a Defibrillator Implanted.

Hope you're feeling better.

About a quarter of a bowl left of 1970s Carter Hall in a 2015 Basil Meadows black sandblasted billiard with an aluminum band and a pearl red acrylic tapered stem. Finally got all my walking in.

Wilke 191 in a MM Gent, Bombay gin and tonic to help me relax after a 10 hour day of cutting meat. I’ve lit the coals to grill a 2 inch chuck eye steak marinaded in red wine and garlic. With Assorted zucchini and squash and fresh basil from the garden in a marinara sauce. a slice of sourdough to round it off. Still waiting for my Wilke delivery. Lol

Yes, that's what I have to put up with in the UK ... 2020 printing of 1/3 baccy blend + 2/3 health warnings is even worse than the same two examples from 2006.
Compared to a fine example of tin art from c.1980.

Smoking 3 Sails mixed with 5 Brothers in a Digby prince, drinking black coffee.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, French cut pork chops and asparagus dinner with triple chocolate ice cream for dessert. I'm part way through this bowl of year 2017 Peter Heinrichs No. 30 in a 2003 URAL full bend big bowl egg shaped Lattice meer with a black acrylic saddle stem. As Heinrichs has unexpectedly changed this blend into something very different, I'm refamiliarizing myself with the old version before I smoke the new one, and update my review. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Enjoying a big Group 5+ (Willmer diamond shank saddle stem billiard) bowl of KBV Verge Engine OD.

VE OD could easily be my all day every day smoke right now. So good.

Now smoking current version of Peter Heinrichs No. 30 in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow with white swirls acrylic saddle stem. I noticed the 2017 version has less Syrian Latakia than the older one. In the newest version, they added burley and black cavendish, and of course, Cyprian replaces the Syrian.
