Almost half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Just finished smoking Watch City Undead Scottsman in a smooth unfinished brown slight bend 2015 Savinelli 320KS author with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Half way through my last smoke of the day, which is Wilke No. 13 in a 1980 black rusticated rough top Jobey E27 Stromboli extra ball-shaped poker with a pearl green acrylic stem. Got a few chores done, and am listening to Johnny Rivers.
My starter for this Day:
TAK - Kieler Foerde in a MM corncob.

Having a bowl of Captain Earle's Nightwatch in a John Peel Portland Pipe Billiard.
Well I've made it 2/3 of the way through my No Smoking June!
Looking forward to a couple of pints of beer and a smoke of my birthday Captain Black next month - something to celebrate the end of lockdown with!

China's Heaven in a Maple MM Country Gentleman pipe.
Some Ashton Gold rush in a Savinelli Venere 
The altered taste of my usual Aldi coffee with the Maricoxi, I decided, wasn't pleasant. But it was familiar. I was trying to think of what it reminded me about.
I remembered my fiancee brought back this coffee from Israel. It wasn't to our liking and has been in the cupboard since. We will probably use it in gardening.
For any fans of Maricoxi and coffee, I recommend this.
Home mix in a MM Freehand corncob pipe. Watching Daily Mass.
Vincent Manil Petite Robin in an old production Dr. Grabow Grand Duke.This pipe has a screw together tenon.The new one I own has a metal tenon with a split on either side that allows flexibility as the smoker pushes into the mortice.
Wilke Lizzie Blood Red in an Eltang Saturn Grade blasted Poker. A cup of coffee is my drink and Georgia morning air is my oxygen. Heavenly.
Bowl of BB No:2 Flake and Black Twist in a medium sized meerschaum 'cutty' pipe with a genuine amber mouthpiece as I slice up some Velvan Plug for the day and pay a few bills by writing out a couple of checks!
Dark Bird's Eye in a Savinelli alligator poker. As much as I like to spread my wings, this has become my go-to blend.
I cracked open a tin of Solani Burley Flake (the older square tins). The flakes were gorgeous and the cocoa aroma was quite strong. It was pretty good, but I think it needs time to breathe. I am going to leave it in the tin for a few days and then transfer to a mason jar. I primarily smoke Virginia’s and Va/Per blends and I think I puffed too hard to get more sweetness. Will revisit in a few weeks.
Erinmore Flake in a hobby block. Community Private Reserve Breakfast Blend to go with.
GL Pease Westminster in a SMS Smooth Bulldog Meerschaum
My next smoke of the day is all set, Rattray’s Hal O’ The Wynd in a 67’ Dunhill 483 “Don” Tankard with a fishtail stem. My son-in-law is getting breakfast ready, and my grandson is finishing his morning whittling lesson. Life is good.
