Good morning all! A bit of mayhem here, with two tree crews working at our house and next door performing the "Ritual East Coast Florida Pre-Hurricane Season Tree Work" so a quiet, contemplative bowl of anything is ... out the window for the next three hours. Nonetheless, starting with my go-to blend for any circumstance, namely St. Bruno RR in an Upshall sandblast Bulldog with smooth rim and hex shank with saddle stem size 4.

Last night's GL Pease Jackknife Plug in the Savinelli 207 9mm Apple.Same filter, too.
@Birddog66 I ordered for the first time from the US to the UK, and it was received with no customs duty. But on the second attempt they slammed a huge duty, so I let it be returned to the US and the online shop paid back my cost of the tobacco & I lost out only on shipping. So you may be lucky and the shop will reimburse you when returned.
Good Afternoon Folks, Home Mix in an Aldo Morelli Calabash.

Good morning all. I'm starting today with a bowl of HH Burley Flake in an unfinished Savinelli 506.
@Birddog66 I stopped ordering from Germany after Brexit. But maybe Estervals will reimburse from Germany like the US.
No fortunately everything I’ve been sent by forum members in the US has made it through with no problems. Same when I send to America so far thank heavens ? ??
If you want to order from estervals it might be best to have it sent to family in the EU and have them send it on.
I’m hoping they will, if I don’t pay within 20 days it gets sent back but I think they have a no refund policy. Doesn't seem fair though if they get to keep it without refunding me.
Just got home from Brighton and my second jab. I took the opportunity to look around some second hand/antique shops for pipes, I did see a nice Lorenzo tugboat with a crocodile skin type carving, and cheap too but I resisted the urge to buy it.
Now it’s Miss River Rum Barrel in the CDL and Navy Rum with grapefruit, pineapple and lime.

@FirCoat After being stung by the customs for buying from a US online shop, I had an American friend send me some US tobacco as a gift, but the customs put a huge charge on it & I had it returned to my US friend.
Not far from finishing this bowl of circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Been enjoying the new book about Jack Kirby that came in the mail this afternoon. Several quotes from my interviews with Roy Thomas and Carmine Infantino appear in the book.
A soothing bowl of Rattray Bagpiper's Dream in a Savinelli Giubileo d'Oro 824 smooth Billiard with flattened shank and matching stem. Having tree work done - just had our new weather station destroyed by an errant bobcat driver who then knocked over a ten foot speciman planting. Could have been worse, but I'd rather not think how.
We continue enjoy with. C&D Super Balkan, in corn cob General Bent.........................
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Going walking soon.
Esoterica Peacehaven in a Altinay translucent meer to start the day.
