Breaking in a new Al Pascia Curvy warden with some old Hermit XVV
Thank you! One of my favorites as well. It was a very enjoyable smoke!
Now smoking and reviewing Low Country Pee Dee in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. This goes on sale Tuesday, June 10.
On the menu for my commute home was a bowl of GH&Co Whiskey Twist in my Thayne 33.
Hope you all had a great day!

More F&T CVP in the Medico mail order egg. So good!!
Pegasus in a Big Ben, because of exclusive, 5 brothers and Pegasus, I’ve been ignoring my aros. 
Hamborger Veermaster in a 1912 Pete.
Another full day here at the ranch, capped off with Vauen #14 VA flake in a Peterson Irish Harp 80s sandblasted bulldog. Truly an underrated blend in its category, beats out HH Pure VA and Peterson Flake in my book. Of course, I'm wasting time typing all this, since everything is all 507-C anyway. 9/10

Trying to get caught up while getting ready for a hastily planned trip to Puerto Vallarta next week. Its been a busy end of May/start of June.
Tonight I've been smoking Ellipsis Flake in a Castello billiard.

Now smoking and reviewing Low Country Pee Dee in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a tapered gold and black swirl acrylic stem. Fed all the ferals, and they all wanted out except for Abner the Eager. He's been in all day. Watching the Orioles-Mariners game that I recorded earlier today as I review.
I just picked up another couple ounces of Exclusive so I can try mixing it with 5 brothers. Going to have a go at it tomorrow. Thank you for the idea!
Enjoying immensely some Robt McConnell Scottish Blend in a Stanwell 62 (Vario).
--- I can hear one of my Pipe Club brothers saying "Yes, yes, yes" (!!!).
Can anybody make a case why this Scottish Blend should NOT be on the Mount Rushmore of the BEST all-time baccies EVER (???). Top 10 (?) ... Top 20 (?).

Plum Pudding Special Reserve in a small, smooth Gabrieli Rhodesian-apple with striped blue saddle stem and wood accent.
Ended the day with the 2nd break-in smoke in my huge new Rhodesian Meer. Loaded it up with Borkum Riff Dark Cavendish. Not a bad smoke for a break-in, but couldn't quite catch the plum undertone of this fine tobacco. Another four or five smokes in this Mariana Trench should smarten it up, but I lost interest in it at about 80 minutes and let it die. When this pipe is finally ready and rarin' to go, it'll be fed a genre dedicated diet of mild cavendish tobaccos, and aro-codgers like the BR above, SWR, genres I like and have lots of. It's already a grand smoker.
Both this pipe and my Savinelli Avorio (which is biased for aromatics), will be getting a lot more smoking in the future, especially next week while I recuperate listening to operas by Wagner, Puccini and probably Beethoven's "Fidelio." The pipe rotation and tobacco system is almost complete. It's already paying dividends.
However, it's now pumpkin time. Well, more like mosquito time. Whatever. And to all, a good night!

Ardor partially rusticated Fatta a Mano giant billiard with green and cream slightly bent stem and cat’s paw heel. More Plum Pudding Special Reserve.
Just starting a third straight bowl of Plum Pudding Special Reserve in a Dunhill 2019 group 4 shell briar billiard with tapered stem.
