A bowl of 8 State Burley with black coffee. This basket pipe I picked up for my travels has proven to be a fantastic smoker, surprisingly. Picked it and another one up at the Gatlinburlier. Both are actually smoking just perfect, can't believe it
I have a modern Kaywoodie. No, it burns just fine. However, some pipes require a clear carbon layer, in my experience, before they can be smoked however. In those cases, smoke using the Frank method of packing until the pipe is clearly broken in. I would bet you will see a difference in the temp of the pipe. Also, try using some English blends with a bit higher level of latakia for the next few smokes.
Nice silver band on that Pete.
Cigar Time- Caldwell Cigars Blind Man’s Bluff Maduro (In a 6x60 Gordo Vitola)
Now smoking first release Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Cleaning a few pipes.
2012 GL Pease Navigator in a Jack Howell Dublin.
The ‘ol Mercury is on the rise today and thru the week; headed north of 100 deg F.
Found some shade and with a lite breeze it’s not bad. Still smoking the “new” Dublin Meer. Packed with:
45/45 mix of C&D -17 Yorktown and 21 Izmir Turkish
a wee pinch of Rbn cut Perique minced in.
Glass of sweetened ice tea mixed with Kombucha. re-reading a book I read last winter.
The mixture is very tasty!

Loading up Bozeman Blend (by @Humblepipe ) in yet another amazing gift from @ashdigger , a William H. Hendrikx Straight Billiard, probably from the 1930s. Thank you both.
There's just something about the smell of the rain that, to me, pairs nicely with this Sutliff Krumble Cake English #1 and a black coffee. Trying out a Vauen charcoal filter for the first time as I've never used filters before. Doesn't seem to be reducing the flavor too much now that I'm smoking, but on the char light, it seemed like it was going to drop it a lot more. There is some minor reduction, but not bad. I think in the future though, I won't be using filters with this blend.
Moving on to a second bowl in the Dublin Meer With GLP Quiet Nights.
It's windy out so I'm enjoying a Gurkha Symphony Toro. Tastes good, construction is less than ideal.
Pfeifen Huber - VGF in a HCA Stanwell and a Cup of Joe on the side.
Now I understand why an esteemed Gentleman here praised this particular blend.

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2015 Mac Baren Virginia #1 in a straight black 1925 Dunhill patent shell Canadian 33 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Rain showers drowned out my second set of walking reps again. Third time this week. Watching the Braves-Nats game.
G&H Best Brown #2 in a Savinelli Porto Cervo 122
I once asked @ashdigger if he would like to try some homegrown semois. He responded with one of his customary shoot from the hip retorts, “why would I want I want to suck on a pipe which tastes like the fart of a mountain goat being force fed cornflakes” ?…oh well more for me.
About a quarter of a bowl left 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
