I second this comment. I'd suggest Windsail, too.

C&D Steamworks 2024 in a Peterson Donegal Rocky 69.
Thank you! It weighs about 28 grams and has the most thin and comfortable stem of any of my meerschaums.
5 year old HU Janneman Flake in a GBD Century grade Conquest size saddle shank author.
Two half bowls of Lane 1-Q in the vauen olaf bent egg that were perfect even in the heat, yesterday and today. Both smoked dry and cool and the bowl barely got warm. I must have packed correctly without realizing. Then my tobacco order arrived and I tried Sutliffe 707 Sweet Virginia for the first time. The first third burned like a furnace. The second a little better and the final third was tolerable when slow sipped. I'm drying the rest out now per online recommendations. It has a distinct pine flavor like Pine Sol or Polo Cologne. No Hay, Honey, grass or citrus. Just chemical pine. Hopefully airing it out and drying will correct this but still tolerable. I've had worse.
Good Morning !!! Peterson Kenmare 05 burning the Irish Cask 
Tonight, I made “all cavendish”: black,red,natural,and aged Maduro. In my large bore walnut and acrylic pipe.
I also had my first bowl of Sutliff 707 a few nights ago and it was quite a rough smoke, really hot and not really great. I set it aside in the jar to revisit after a few months, and I’ll definitely try drying it for a lot longer than I did this last time.
Almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Astley’s No. 55 in a straight smooth dark brown year 1933 Parker Super Bruyere patent 10 T 81/F lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-D-Backs game.
Cornell & Diehl Palmetto Balkan 2024 in a Dunhill Tanshell Diplomat from 1977
Been really enjoying some 2010 OGS. Don't get me wrong. It's nice fresh. But If you've got some in your stash, forget it about it for awhile. I think you be glad you did.
Old Georgetown Blend in a Fred Diebel Benchmade Bent Billiard
Half way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.
First go with a big bag of D&R Three Sails in a MM Missouri Pride.
I think I’ve found my “No thought necessary easy going” blend.

Cleaned a few pipes and now smoking a La Flor Dominicana.
First smoke of Seattle Pipe Club Gentleman's Rum Vanilla in a Bones bent brandy. First impression is it being extremely mild. I'll have to try it in a couple other pipes.
SPC Plum Pudding SRF in a Peterson 2021 POTY. Watching Psych.
Today I blended some of my stoved and pressed cherry blend with Sugar Barrel (or the current match version anyway) in anticipation of a nice walk with the dog. I smoked it in my old (about 60 years old) Kaywoodie pot. Unfortunately, my leash is much shorter than my dog’s and I was summoned to return for some minor domestic emergency that only I could fix. At least I got a thoroughly enjoyable 30 minutes of soft, sweet burly with a hint of Virginia and Cherry.
Now smoking year 2016 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown post-1964 Parker Super Bruyere 88/F group 3 bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Almost time to feed the ferals.
