Currently smoking my Meerschaum Market bent apple meer with some Mac Baren - HH Highland Blend from 2013.
Just lit up this Dave Neeb canted Dublin with Two Friends Redwood in the chamber.
Tilbury in a Fribourg and Treyer Stack

Soda is the drink. Some music to accompany

Some random burley mixture, mostly Carter hall I think. In the Briarworks C53.
Stuffed one lightly dried coin of Peterson DeLuxe Navy Rolls into a Foyard rhodesian (an eerily perfect fit) this afternoon, paired with an Earl Grey tea. 8/10
Bird report: California scrub-jay, California towhee, House finch, American crow, Western bluebird, Oak titmouse, Hairy woodpecker, Mourning dove, and a robust California quail family, as seen below.

Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic in a cob. possibly my favorite of the "codger" blends
Two Peterson Pub pipe bowls of Lane 1-Q back to back can be nauseating a little too relaxing !
Aged Scottish Flake from a Bruno Nuttens billiard. 
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with a bowl of French vanilla ice cream for dessert. M'lady had a four cheese pizza, and I ate two slices of that, too. Just finished smoking year 2016 Wessex Gold Brick in a straight smooth light brown 2020 Ryan Alden Ace of Spades squat bulldog with a spalted pecan top and ferrule that’s attached to the tapered black acrylic stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. A little less of it tonight due to the humidity. Watching a wild Yankees-Red Sox game. The lead has changed five times, at least.
The Black Adder (50/50 Peretti Crown/Peretti Ebony) in a Ropp Superior Algerian Bulldog with tapered vulcanite stem, and an IPA.
Now smoking year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. High humidity does not stop me from smoking! It's not stopping Tomato the Brave either. He's running all around the den knocking toys around and burning off a lot of energy.
Sutliff’s Blend No. 5 in a Stanwell Bent Acorn, Shape #30
English 1980s era McConnell Red Virginia in my MarTelo bent billiard.
GLP Geometrie in a GBD saddle shank author.
Cornell & Diehl Palmetto Balkan 2024 in a Dunhill Shell Cherrywood Poker from 1976
This evening I decided to have a pipe in spite of my whining earlier that I was smoked out with all of this breaking in stuff. A day or two ago I posted my morning smoke with a McQueen miniature, "The Prospector." Tonight I'll take a tongue break smoking some heavy lat in Pirate Kake, in the big "Prospector.". Decided, while there is still enough light to post a picture of the miniature with the large version of their "Prospector." Miniature is in cherry wood, the large version is in well broken in ash, and is a great smoker, one of my three ash pipes. Ruined 2 because of sloppy break in; I was at a stage I didn't know the problems with breaking in ash.
Tried to show the difference in bowl sizes. The big guy has a 12" stem and has over 3x the capacity of the miniature. Even then, the bowl content is dwarfed by my big bowled Savinelli, Peterson and Brigham, which hold about twice as much as the big "Prospector." Both McQueens have a lot of wood in their bowls, and smoke beautifully with the bowl in hand. Very comfortable.
Getting hand cramps from trying to manipulate the pipes to show content and features that would be of interest to the knowledgeable forum viewers. Gotta get off my butt and take out the prop table and proper lighting to photograph my collection. It's in the works, or at least in my mind in planning stage.
I'll enjoy the PK in the big fella tonight I assure you. It's a known combination!

Going to have a cigar myself before retiring at midnight!
Carter Hall is one codger blend I have not tried. I'll be remedying this in the fall when my buying season starts. I've heard nothing but good about it.
