15 or 16, I think.I'm really enjoying my new Country Gent (Naked, Bent)!
You must have quite the inventory of cobs

Right now, got some Lane RR going in a straight Country Gent - smoked the bent CG yesterday.
It’s primarily a weekend pipe for me.. stay tuned for Saturday.

A few months ago at Ye Ole Pipe Shoppe in Jackson, TN, a couple of us were laughing at the tins of "Purple Cow". I felt my entertainment at the name and silly artwork deserved the spend. The tin went around the table, surprising some with it's complexity. As for me, it's now a staple in my cellar and has a dedicated purple Pocket Jar. No clue where the name came from but it was odd enough to make me buy it and try. Well done, C&D marketingI think the marketing guys at C&D have great imagination. Cross-Eyed Cricket? Who wouldn't want to try it?
It's like their Mad Fiddler, for me. Had to try it because I actually was given that nickname due to a particularly stellar solo violin performance of Stravinsky's "L'histoire Du Soldat" in my playing days. The fact that I actually loved the tobacco was a bit irrelevant - I'd have kept a tin on hand and display just because of the name.
Hats Off to the guys at C&D. They're at the top of their game!

This Blakemar Champion of unknown vintage is a recent acquisition. Smoking 5100 (also of unknown vintage)..
This pipe is destined for greater things in the not too distant future.

Some old freeders mixed with Rieners just for fun.

From this Cornell & Diehl Classic Series there is also Kajun Kake tobacco, also with an interesting patternA few months ago at Ye Ole Pipe Shoppe in Jackson, TN, a couple of us were laughing at the tins of "Purple Cow".

I love the old school Mastro de Paja. Pesaro is a concentration of pipe geniuses.
I woke up a little earlier than usual to enjoy a pipe and cup of coffee before I ride to work. On the menu for today is a nice little mixture of 5 Brothers and Rivertown's Crimson Shadow loaded in my Stanwell 2024 POTY.
Hope you all have a terrific Thursday!

I love this tobacco probably more than it is worthy. It just ticks all the boxes for me. Birth year Dunhill shell billiard 1963
McConnell Scottish Flake in a Ropp Etudiant J07 that has a pretty cool blast.
Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
OJK in a Den's Danish style Freehand. 
Finishing up some GLP Fillmore in the blasted J07.
First up is my usual burley, coffee, cob. I’m training for a century occurring in September. For the non cyclists that’s a 100 mile ride. I must be crazy! 
This morning I was surrounded by rain showers. Trying to weave through or outrun them is useless. Got very wet today!
