Dobies 4 Square Curlies in the Bacigalupi 2 Anchora bent.
Vauen No. 7 Crunchy Blend in my Altinay. I think this is as close as I can get to what I know my grandfather (who inspired me to start pipe smoking) smoked most of the time. I'm pretty sure the tobaccos and flavorings used are the same but the tobacco he smoked was a house blend of a tobacconist in Dallas somewhere that I don't think exist anymore.

McConnell’s Oriental this morning, an excellent morning smoke. I love this stuff. Buttery, sweet, and mild.

Gorgeous clear blue sky, 68F with light breeze. Dark Holler in the SMS Big Bent Lattice Meer and tardy morning coffee
Had some Odds and Ends plus 5Bros in a Ropp J11 while tending to horses and having the midget help me move tractor out of shop, then he got to “lap drive” the old Ram2500 around the property and into the shop (no fence posts or gates were harmed).
Working up the wherewithal to go tear into the truck again-have to rule out ignition issues prior to fuel delivery, and hopefully not (gasp!) compression problems.
It’s too hot for this crap, shadetree mechanicking sucks in the desert summer…

2nd bowl of the morning. Capt'n Earle's Honor Blend (new version) in the Stanwell sandblasted Nana Ivarsson freehand.
Almost half way through this bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Finally, decided to smoke this Danish candy. It’s been sitting on my pipe stand for over a year since the purchase. This is a Winslow Grade E filtered pot. No other pipe that I own has thicker walls than this one, fills the hand very nicely. The bowl is quite voluminous as well. Breaking it in with Mac Baren’s Scottish Mixture.

Now that looks like a functional tool of a pipe! Which number is it, I’ll have to see if there’s a Rossi beater analogue?
Congratulations @Sobrbiker for being a grandfather !!!
Cigar Time: La Gloria Cubana Spanish Press. I found it in my new humidor, so I must have purchased this recently. I don’t remember purchasing this though.
What a view!! Enjoy!
