The finale bit from my first tin of Three Nuns and it is definitely in the top 10 and I’m glad I got 10 more tins of this stuff. Now on to something different.

Klondike Gold in a 1914 Barling Meer and I’m drinking a Mega Pint of Frey’ Ranch Bourbon (everything in the bottle is grown and distilled in Fallon, NV
Ashton Gold Rush in a Stefano bent Rhodesian, all loaded up and ready to go for sunset. Can't decide between a scotch highball and Grifone Biano, a table white from Trader Joe's. I hope to make up my mind before the birds all go home. Speaking of which...Hairy woodpecker, California scrub-jay, California towhee, House finch, California quail, Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, Mountain chickadee, Common raven and Red-tailed hawk. The usual suspects!
Dinner is homemade margherita pizza, so I'm leaning toward the wine. But who the hell knows... ?

Not far from finishing this bowl of 2021 Watch City Simply Orange Virginia in a black sandblast medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 182/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. An apple follows this smoke! 
Bayou Morning in a Silver Grey Hawk's egg 
First time trying DTM's Patriot Flake. In a St Claude straight apple. This is a nice easy going sweet Virginia. It's a lot like 507C Va Slices to be honest. Very similar.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 24 in a smooth straight brown 1949 Yello-Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Going to work now.
Left Sarasota, FL yesterday evening to drive back to Indiana around 6 pm. Drove straight through, 14 1/2 hours elapsed time arriving home this morning at 8:30 am. I smoked quite a few bowls of tobacco, the trip would have been maddening without my pipes.
Vauen No 24 in an Altinay.
CVP in an Amorelli. This pipe smokes fantastic, I stole it several years ago on eBay from a Pipestud auction for I think, $75.
Another bowl of CVP in a Deschane. I traded for this pipe with another member here several years ago, another superb smoking pipe.
MB HH Pure Virginia in an Alden. I think Ryan only carves great smoking pipes.
F&T Vintage in a Cermak. Another great carver, love this pipe.
And then later today, got to see this precious, happy little guy. Certainly made the drive worth it.

Now smoking Wilke Hearth of Galway in an undated smooth straight medium brown made in France Saillard Lord Clerit lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend in a Luigi Viprati One Clover half bent pot.
Did a little snacking, and am a third of the way through this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Accent in a pre-WWII straight smooth brown The Lumberman Special (Comoy’s) with a tapered black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Morning smoke of Mc Barens Golden Extra in a BBB SilverGrain 709long billiard-liverpool hybrid model
Jackknife Ready Rubbed twice to round out the evening.
Just finished work and this bowl of Wilke Wall Street in a 2013 straight black sandblasted Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baker Street with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite fish tail stem.
KBV - The Patience of Dr. Silence in a Dr. Grabow: Commodore 65 Zulu, dated from 1967-1969, vulcanite stem, metal screw-in tenon, no stinger.
Every pipe smoker should smoke a blend at least once like this. Maybe someone will reply, and let us know what else compares, might be quite similar?
Hmm KBV is out of stock, I hope they get more.
Hope everyone is doing good, be well!
