Oof—after six-and-a-half hours of smoking the behemoth while watching UFC, I have to tap out! Getting a bit of a nic hit and don’t think I can finish what’s left in the chamber.

Peterson Flake in the Savinelli Roma tonight.
Time for an additional bowl as it is a statewide public holiday tomorrow - in honour of HM King Charles
An afternoon tea @bullet08 might approve - red bean paste filled mochi with a mug of chai - this is more Asian with predominant flavour of liquorice root and ginger rather than the subcontinental cinnamon, cardamom and clove version
Another Barling - a corporate-era Rallye pot sitter with a tapered stem.
And a bowl of Amphora Full Aroma

Enjoyed a little low calorie snacking, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2022 Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a straight smooth ebony post-WW2 LHS Sterncrest 91 bulldog with a sterling silver band, a diamond shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Listening to Mr. President from my radio collection. One of the two announcers was William Conrad, who also played one of the characters in this episode.
Sunday afternoon here - raining heavily, the dog dozing..watch some old lake-creature movie.. 
4th Generation 2012 anniversary on a Hardcastle panel

Starting Sunday with Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Jirsa Nosewarmer. 
Passing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Second Bowl - 4th generation on the Ashton. It rained and the turtle is not very happy for pictures
Look at old bowl - some serious cake there

Good morning. Second tobacco of the morning. With mb Capstan Blue, in a MM Cobbler. And a nice hot black tea. I wish you a happy Sunday.
Just finished smoking Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. Been reading baseball box scores and traffic copping hungry ferals. No Abner the Eager the last two days. Harry the Hairy begs for my attention, and while I like the little fella, I wish he was nicer to the cats. Daisy the Feral Princess, Tomato the Brave, Sam the Scamp and her scamper are their usual selves.
Next up for today is Salty Dogs in a Sav Dolimiti 311KS. 
Near the half way mark of this bowl of Hearth & Home AJ’s Vaper in a pre-1952 Sutliff Falcon 372 (made by Comoy’s) smooth light brown straight bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. I'll end the day with this smoke. I'm back to reading box scores after taking care of Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger.
I seem to recall the blend I'm smoking right now in my original pipe, a Missouri Meerschaum Country Legend receiving snarky derision and ridicule. I find it to be a nice, pleasant, codger blend with a burley forward flavor. Of course I'm talking about Mixture 79. re-used pic, pipe was purchased in 2014
Im having some Fayyum Kake in a little il ceppo. Not the most interesting pipe but its the right size for this blend.
Before lunch. Smoking now. First third of mb Capstan Gold, in a Stanwell calabash.
