Smoking a bowl of fresh Sutliff Perique. I really want to study the various leaf types. So far, I think I like the C&D granulated perique better, it’s more tangy and plumy. This is good though. (In a Denis Pevcov, he is a fairly new Russian carver I wanted to support. I imagine it’s pretty tough over there right now, especially for young men. His prices reflect his experience, affordable) This little pipe smokes great!
First smoke since Tuesday - just discharged from the hospital this morning.

Now smoking some C&D Autumn Evening and what a nice tobacco it is! A smooth and cool smoke. The pipe is a churchwarden which is stamped "Screwball" and "Product of Italy". I don't have a pic of this one yet. I'll have to get on that task.
Quite a blast on that Ashton! Hope you are on the mend!
Yessir - had a Crohns flare up.
@Beowoulf I enjoyed the Autumn Evening in my clay pipes; I'll have to get another clay churchwarden but they're easily broken; I broke my churchwarden during the Redcoats & Revolutionaries event so the blacksmith had to come a bit closer to light the pipe from his forge...
Oh, sounds painful, best to you!
I want to thank this supportive community for being here, I’m pretty isolated other than my awesome wife and cats. I miss close male friendships, I’ve lost my closest friends to cancer and various behaviors they couldn’t give up from their youth. Cheers!

I don’t know you at all but I enjoy your posts. I feel like you’ve been going through it the past month or so based on some of your posts and I feel for ya. When my dad used to tell me that life is a bitch and then you die, I never truly understood that he wasn’t even the slightest bit joking because he’d say it with a smile. I just hope it’s better than the alternative but I’m honestly not certain it is. Love on that wife. Pet those kitty cats. Puff that baccy and know this community absolutely appreciates your frequent contributions.
On an unrelated note, based on some interior shots you posted over the last couple days, you have some pretty sweet looking mid century decor in your home, specifically that dope fixture hanging from your kitchen ceiling. You and I have similar taste in lamps.
About a third of a bowl left of early 2000s 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.
Paradoxical in a Castello GG sea rock Canadian. This blend is really fantastic, I wish I’d buy more then 4 tins.
Coniston Cut Plug in a meerschaum 'cutty' pipe with a hallmarked silver band circa 1900 with a later Redmanol stem which maybe pre-1914 since the Redmanol Company came into being in 1913 and was absorbed into the Bakelite Corporation in 1922. I rather suspect the pipe originally had an amber stem which got broken along the way and was replaced with this rather pleasing cherry colored stem. The real bonus here is whoever smoked this pipe had a very similar tooth configuration to myself so the bite on the stem fits me perfectly. Who says we only live once!
I want an Il Duca, seems like a true artisan, a bunch of beautiful pieces on SP right now.

Another video of the Battle of Nantwich procession; I was on the street where this video was filmed:
Thinking of going to visit the actual battlefield and nearby village / church. Clay pipe in the churchyard then
