HH Bold Kentucky in a Peterson Christmas Canadian tonight while watching Stanley Cup Finals. 
I have been intrigued by and looking for J.M. Boswell pipes for awhile. I never remember to check his website for pipe releases on Monday nights, and from what I’ve read, it’s unlikely I would’ve gotten one that way anyway—apparently they sell out almost instantaneously. On the rare occasion a Magnum sized pipe has surfaced at auction, they’ve gone for more than I was prepared to pay at the time; when I visited the Chambersburg, PA store in September 2023, none of the pipes in stock appealed to me—they were all too clunky, or clumsy looking.
While not a Magnum, I recently acquired one that genuinely appealed to my sensibilities and at what I thought was a bargain price. I had to restore a few missing chips to the plateau with briar dust on this one, but am still very glad I got it.
Going to have Boswell’s Northwoods in a rusticated J.M. Boswell Fan (2002) with a silver and black swirled acrylic stem. It almost seems like a companion pipe to my 60th Birthday Savinelli Eccezionale Fan (2023).

After dinner smoke with the unnamed apple meer. Mixed up some C&D Red Carolina Flake (40%) with some Chenet's Cake (50%) and added a little kick o the rustica (10%). Love this mix. Might do the rest this way. 
Amphora Kentucky blend bc it was the first thing I grabbed in my MM cob. Doubt I’ll finish this bowl tonight, but wanted a little tobacco to put the finishing touches on an okay Monday.
2011 Navy Rolls in my Occhio billiard.
I was expecting much stronger after perusing TRcom…. Must be lots of folks that use a pipe as a fashion accessory with the way Black Irish X is made out to be. I found it to be in line with all the other dark Kendal’s, and it is a notch down from the brown twists I’ve had.
I think some age will do it well, and I’ll definitely need to dry more, was a pain to keep lit.
Otherwise a tasty smoke, in a pure tobacco sense.

Hmm .... an opportunity? .... oh, well, sorry. Must have had a "flashback" to the 70's, yeah, "Hey, what's going on?" .... : )
My man, glad to see you here. I enjoy your takes on things, pipe collection, and most of your tobaccos (especially when being festive).
Nice! I'm going to check this out in the book. Did you buy it from Mark or did he ask to borrow it for the book?Some well aged 3 Nuns in this 1950s Peterson Premier 309 bent dutch which the Pete Geeks in the group can see a better image of by checking page 224 and page 275 of the soft cover Peterson Pipe bookView attachment 316443
