Great pairing with coffee. That coffee looks great! Do you have an espresso machine?

Enjoying some John Cotton’s Double Pressed Burley in a Savinelli Roma 320 KS
GL Pease Samarra in a Peter Heeschen "A" bent cherrywood.
Awhile ago I wrote, "Denby's Tobacco Barrel Country Gentleman (about 32 yrs old; B&M closed in 90's) in a Vauen Olaf bent egg. This old tobacco is very similar to Country Squire's Rivendell" CORRECTION: I just did a one after another comparison and the old Country Gentleman is almost identical to Country Squire's Hunter's Creek. I believe Hunter's Creek is similar to Rivendell with latakia in it. Its hard to tell the difference between the 32 yr old C.G. and the new H.C. I used to smoke Country gentleman exclusively many years ago. I only have about 1.5 ozs left. And i need to go order tobacco now as by the time I get it I will be low. Have a great Sunday everyone !
I used to drink moka pot or pour over coffe but I got a small espresso machine about a year ago and it has been a real game changer.
About a quarter of a bowl left of 1970s Philip Morris Revelation in a 1920s-30s Grant’s Pipe Shop Corinthian Deluxe 409 (made by Comoy’s) smooth brown medium bend bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. It's time for my weekly Sunday pipe chat.
Now it’s Sutliff Galleria Rum and Maple in the Savinelli 6 mm classic red billiard. First briar I ever bought new (haven’t been many since).
Iced coffee…

Not far from finishing this bowl of Mac Baren HH Burley Flake in a 1979 smooth straight dark brown Loewe Army 910 billiard with a silver cap military mount and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
C&D Derringer (bulk) in a Peterson Donegal Rocky #701(tankard) with an acrylic fishtail stem. A small glass of Sauvignon Blanc to wet my whistle. Classical music on my ancient GE Superradio from KBACH internet radio out of Phoenix, AZ.
Enjoy your smokes,all!

Well, yesterday, my Mac Baren Navy Flake wasn't tasting quite right so I cleaned my pipe for the first time. Just scraped the soft stuff from the bowl, then swabbed around the bowl once with a q-tip dipped in alcohol (91% isopropyl) followed by a stuffed paper-towel twisting around. After that, I really went to town with cleaning the stem (pipe cleaners and alcohol) and spent heavy focus on cleaning the mortise and tenon (q-tips and alcohol).
I've been smoking my tobaccos a little too wet. I hate trying to decide when I get up (around noon) what I might want to smoke later (around 3-4 pm). So some of these flakes that really should sit 2 hours after rubbing out have been rubbed out and gone in after only sitting for 10 minutes.
Well since I cleaned the pipe, why not run more of the last smoke? Mac Baren Navy Flake again that I let sit for 3 hours after rubbing out, tasting like it's supposed to today. Going to go back as well to swiping out the warm bowl after every smoke with a paper towel to prevent that soft garbage build up.
Meanwhile, placed an order for a 1.75 oz tin of Mac Baren HH Burley Flake to start slowly working through my wishlist.

Mowed the grass with my yard cobs loaded with MM Missouri Pride
Nothing tomorrow or Tuesday; not buying any pipeweed until Jamestown
@Jwebb90 I enjoyed the Yorktown in my clay pipes when I went to see Redcoats and Revolutionaries; getting my clay pipe lit from the forge ? was a living history demonstration
Wessex Gold Slice out of a Bewlay large pot. 
Close to finishing this bowl of Motzek (TAK ) Tom’s Special Plug in a slight bent black sandblasted post-1940 KBB Yello-Bole Cured With Real Honey Imported Briar with a reg. mark in a circle canted egg and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Now smoking Motzek (TAK) 16/5 Der Neue in a straight black sandblast late 1990s 2 star Ferndown Bark prince with a tapered cumberland stem.
