Did a little snacking, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2012 Sutliff BRG in a brown “rocky” smooth medium bend 1970s Peterson 309 Standard sculpted billiard military mount with a nickel ferrule and a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Ashton Artisan's Blend in an Ardor Urano rusticated half bent
Close to finishing this bowl of year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Another glorious afternoon of sun and breeze in the back yard cried out for a G&T and a short smoke. My wife and I shared a Bombay Sapphire and Fever Tree in a very large tumbler of bergs garnished with fresh-cut lime, as I enjoyed a Romeo y Julieta "Romeos 1875" small cigar. Almost Nirvana.
Smoking Elizabethan Mixture in a variety of pipes, and noting the differences.
About a third of a bowl left of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. I'll finish the day with this smoke.
Loading up Uno Signature Series by Per Georg Jensen in a Peterson’s Pipe of the Year 2021 Terracotta Dutch Billiard (122/500) 4AB to smoke while I work on a book cover.
Eight State in a BriarWorks. This blend is fantastic.
After Lunch Ashton Consummate Gentleman in a Diplomat 5th Avenue Cob and some Earl Grey cold brew on the side.
HH Burley Flake in the IRC Blackruf apple sitter.
Watch City Slices in a Savinelli Regimental Bent Bulldog.
I have not posted much on the 'What are Smoking' thread of recent due to the heat and the pressures of work. I have been hard at it since 4.30 this morning trying to clear out the back log of crap before I head off to Finland for a family wedding. Two weeks involving tall blond people with blue eyes who drink a lot, no bars to speak of and a state owned liquor distributor Alko were you purchase your booze and spend your entire weekly income on a packet of Clan tobacco. What could possibly go wrong with letting me into the country? This morning I am kicking off my day with this small meerschaum 'cutty' pipe made by a French carver and enjoying an Espresso coffee whilst I smoke a bowl of G&H Broken Flake No:7 with a little Coniston Cut plug added for spice. In this extreme heat I find my 'Baccy Flap' is perfect for muling around small amounts of tobacco. It is a shame I was never able to get my neighbor to make any after setting him up with all the equipment but you don't know if you don't try! Have a good boys.
Got home last night from Madison, WI where we had a great visit to the campus and a pleasant trip all around. It was good to see where my baby girl is planning to live for the next few years and while I never considered being a Badger fan, it looks like I'll now be giving it a shot. Being from Kansas originally and a Jayhawk fan (sorry @Tar Wheel I know that last tournament game stung) and having lived in Minnesota for the last 30 years, this is going to take some getting used to.
I'll be sitting here smoking some Capstan while pondering these changes.

Good morning all. Savinelli Jupiter in an unfinished Savinelli 644.
LJ Peretti No.8 Slices in an Alan Brothers Oakland. I have found that I much prefer this blend after it’s dried to a crisp.
Some Watch City Simply Red in the trusty Rossi w/company.
Davidoff Flake Medallions in a Peterson Aran B10.
Solani Aged Burley Flake in a Lacroix Bulldog.
Sitting out back enjoying the quiet and a cup of Iron Bean Coffee with a bowl of C&D Haunted Bookshop in a Peterson 120 Irish Army Made pipe.
