The maiden voyage for this J.Alan designed, G.H.Zhang manufactured blowfish. Bayou Morning smoking great with no preparation of the bowl.
D&R Three Sails in the NoName Dane.
Now smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This should get me to dinner time.
First time with a Pease blend (other than a sample bowl of Gaslight a couple years ago): just popped a tin of 2021 Sixpence, trying in my Savinelli 316KS. Decaf on the side. Nicely moist out of the tin. About 10 minutes into the bowl. Easy to light. Smooth, rich, and even taste. What that taste is, however, is indeed a bit of a mystery.
Capstan Blue Flake in a Butz Choquin
This morning, Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
MB Virginia Flake in an Altinay.
Unique!
I started breaking in my Falcon bowls today. I used Carter Hall in the first two, but picked the wrong jar in the dim light this evening, so this is Pegasus in the Falcon Hyperbole smooth, with the Shillelagh blue straight stem.
OJK in a Morgason pencil shank big head Dublin.
C&D Red Odessa in a Celebi Meerschaum with a cup of black tea while watching the sunset.
Orlik Golden Sliced in a CAO Meerschaum.
2 bowls of Sutliffe Sweet Virginia #707 in the Vauen Olaf bent egg. Drying this tobacco has helped remove a good deal of bite and the Ralph Lauren Polo cologne flavor. I'm getting used to it but it does burn hot and fast or at least faster than 507-C.
After dinner pipe load of HU Indaba in the Celebi meer for dessert.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'll be on my diet for several days. I've passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Have enough left for one more bowl, and will retire this, my favorite pipe in my collection when that happens, because it'll be a while before I open another bag of Stonehaven. I've waited a long time to smoke what will replace both in my rotation. Watching the Braves-Brewers game.
I was just in the driveway puffing on my vauen Olaf bent egg with Sutliff 507-C before bed; I had a busy day and am pretty tired. About 5 screech owls were trilling in the trees above me when suddenly I let out a very loud long yawn ... and all the screech owls went dead silent ... I think I scared them ! I did apologize but they are still silent several minutes later ... OOOPS ! I think its funny. 
Sutliff match Victorian in a Peterson Dracula 80s, freshly cleaned yesterday.
