Almost half way through this bowl of year 2022 Wessex Campaign Dark Flake in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LBS Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Braves-Phillies game.

To @ashdigger a man who made life brighter than the sun to me, as I’m surely not in Vegas, so this must be heaven!
You will all get the meaning by watching the video/lyrics.
Be well everyone!
LYRICS:
———
Who'll ever win?
Gee, you're just so ephemeral
Go back for new
For new in vain, it failed.
Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or Las Vegas
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me.
He's a hustler
It's a role, he'll never make a suit
Hang on to this
So stay and spin and fail and fail
Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or Las Vegas
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me.
The chill must itch in my soul
That's like any old playing card
It must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
It's why it's more brighter than the sun is to me.
Maybe there, while you was rail
I'll go in and seize your heart and be personal
I suspect I'm singing to you a tune
And still you find the beat and sing it to you soon
Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or Las Vegas
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me.
The chill must itch in my soul
That's like any old playing card
Am I just in heaven or Las Vegas
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me.
It must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me.

I've been smoking Country Squire Old Toby all day in the Vauen Olaf bent egg and in the rain, the MM Mark Twain Cob so I am a bit tired of that flavor for today. (I just received a pound of it.)
I decided to try, post rain, the new batch of Country Squire Whatever ????? in the newly cleaned Savinelli Erica Fiamma 128 billiard with 6mm charcoal filter.
I don't know enough about tobacco to tell what I was trying --- some flakes thick and light tan, some black, some dark brown, some reddish brown, some looked like cigarette tobacco. The first half of the bowl tasted like french bread or bread dough, then some hay, then, clearly Old Toby, then some pepper, then some cedar like an Arturo Fuente cigar, then something I liked but didn't recognize, then a few grains of perique, but the bottom 25% tasted slightly like Heinz Ketchup --- tomato and sugar. A pleasant change from Old Toby and an Interesting taste experience. Whatever ????? is always good and the price is right !

Nice evening after the rain. I hated to come in. I smoked two bowls of Habana Daydream in an Amphora X-tra 822 pipe. For those that like cigar leaf in their pipe tobacco, Habana Daydream is a good choice.

OSG in a Riverboat Gambler MM. I decided to try fold and stuff. It worked out well, probably because I dried the flake much more than normal.
Up next is SWRA in my other Riverboat Gambler while trying to decide if I should get a Merrick Poker.
@FurCoat , thanks man. At least it’s my vision of one.
After dinner smoke. The Dublin Meer with GLP Quiet Nights and a big glass of ice water.

Please let me know your thought process on the Poker. I've been eyeing one for the future and am on the fence. I enjoy cobs and smaller pipes have their place.
My other thought is a larger chambered bent pipe for reading. However, I have a few other true needs first so pipes and tobacco have gone on the back burner for now.
Presbyterian in the little meer. Good Monday all.
Relaxing after eating a wonderful medium pizza loaded with toppings with a big chocolate chip cookie for dessert. It'll take a while to diet that off, but it was worth it!! I'm passing the quarter mark on this bowl of year 2013 Esoterica Tilbury in a 2002 smooth Rinaldo Silver Line 3 EGER 05 paneled horn with a black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
