Pulled out my old Marxman Captain with some sweet Burley.
It looks kinda rough but smokes like a dream.

Ive been revisiting jars in my cellar for the first time in several years. Tonight, it's some 5 year old Quiet Nights in a Savinelli Roma Lucite bent pot.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of 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. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-Giants game. I just let Daisy the Feral Princess in to eat. Haven't seen Abner the Eager for four days now.
Erinmore Flake in this Dunhill. Earl Grey.
Today was a 3 pipe problem kind of day:
On a windy evening in Dallas had 2 bowls of Wilke’s 10 Downing St in a Medico Jet. I figure the wind burned about a bowl between the two. 
Just opened a tin of HU Nebari. Pipe is a GBD shape 529 half bent billiard.
Home brew VaPer in my Sea Rock paneled billiard.
I've sort of been the advocate for this "waking up" concept a couple times at Pipe Club. Liked the comment on TR's regarding this where someone said that "tobacco becomes dumb in the tin / jar". Thinking about putting this to the test = open a tin, smoke a bowl fresh, then give it several weeks to "wake up" & try it again.
I meant to try some of that a couple years ago and it fell off my radar, thanks for the reminder!
Slow day for smoking, I took the day to escort mama for a back injection and am just now getting around to it. I did have a sniff or two of some Dental Scotch snuff however.
Grabow Color Duke loaded up out of the Odds and Ends jar.

FUSTG in a Moonshine long stem Devil Anse, paired with coconut water.
Close to finishing this bowl of year 2020 Peretti Blend W in a straight black sandblasted circa 1950s Comoy’s Peterson’s made for Peterson, Ltd. in Wisconsin billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Have enough for one more bowl. Cleaned a few pipes. Sleepy Suzy is by my side.
Maybe you'd like this, Carol:
Just loaded my Stanwell 64 Vario with a Parfait ...
Top 1/3 = Margate
Bottom 2/3 = Fillmore
NOTE: Tonight @ 9:20pm was almost pitch dark.
Saw another Back-to-School ad today. Saw another TV ad for End-of-Season Sale on Patio Furniture.
Saw couple yellow leaves on the ground but haven't (yet) seen any in the trees.
Warm temps today, low 80's ... got another 5 to 7 weeks where we could still potentially get 90's.
August right around the corner but anticipation high for first nights in the 50's.
Enjoyed a tasty red delicious apple, and am smoking year 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth burgundy medium bend 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Smokes as well as a first and worth the $19.95 I paid for it all those years ago.
Another bowl of Peterson Flake, this time in a Savinelli Onda.
