I have some Stokkebye English Luxury in a Kiko meerschaum lined Kilimanjaro. 
Pipes from former African nations don't get enough love, so I'm doing my part.

Morning all! I went back to my favorite combo when I started smoking pipe tobacco. Boswell’s No-Bite Delight with and an iced mocha. Enjoying it out of my Boswell pipe instead of the MM cob I would have a few months ago. Cob is lined up for deep clean tomorrow.
Overly dry Ennerdale Flake in a Dunhill. El Salvadoran honey roasted bean water pairs well with the muted sauce.
First go at C&D Steamworks after a friend from Texas muled some up for me this week. Enjoying it in my Guild Master Algerian briar bulldog with 12k gold band.
Today June 22 it happens to be GH Ennerdale in my Rattray's Old Gowrie pipe. Great warm weather smoking for middle TN. 90s here today.
Prince Albert in a SMS Smooth Bulldog Meerschaum 
WCCSO in a IMP. Getting them in early again before we get slammed with triple digit heat.
Spent a week in Santa Fe and it was amazing how different their heat was from ours here on the east coast.
Here, you are not only hot but damp, wet and sticky as nothing evaporates.
Sitting out and smoking a pipe is just not enjoyable...... but come the Fall........... aaahhhh !
Amazing cigar, but not on an empty stomach in my experience.
I've found that a two-minute shower or dip in the pool first makes for a good smoke in summer's humidity. Wet is good.
Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
Getting ready to watch UFC Fight Night, Robert Whittaker vs. Ikram Aliskerov. Unfortunately, Khamzat Chimaev was supposed to fight Whittaker, but got violently ill and had to cancel—I hope he recovers! Chimaev, who is still undefeated (except by health issues) knocked Aliskerov out in 2019 with an awesome uppercut at Brave CF 23. This UFC Fight Night is taking place at the Kingdom Arena, in Saudi Arabia, hence the early start time. Going to have G.L. Pease Spark Plug in one of my earliest Eugène-Léon Ropp pipes (and my largest at 26" in length), a Cherrywood with a Natural Horn Stem, stamped “Bussang,” probably made at Ropp’s original workshop there between 1870–1893.
Another shot for scale with the tin of Spark Plug:

A wonderfully comfortable 60F this morning, with mix of Storm Front and Yorktown in a friend-made custom Lovat, and coffee.
Smoking some GL Pease Barbarry Coast from 2011, never had it before and had a aged tin from a lot of tins I got from a friend for next to nothing who decided to give up the pipe so I decided to crack it for this weekend.
Messaged Greg on Instagram to get his thoughts on giving it the most justice for my first time smoking it and he was more than helpful. I figure if you want advice from someone to get the most out of a certain blend on your first smoke, why not the person who blended it If you have that opportunity?
Decided on this 125th anniversary Charles Peterson Rua 20B (not s as they were stamped because these are tapered B stems not saddle stems) Deluxe System.
Hanging out in the yard, very much enjoying the weather, the buzz of the honey bees and this tobacco.

Looks like you could stuff the contents of an entire tin in there; maybe the tin itself, too.
