J11P , Ryback+P. Waiting on a woodpecker…
A weird one for today. Who thought orange and dark fired would be a good combo? The Pete 309 fishtail kicks ass. Gonna have to get another 309.
Cigar Time: Liga Privada No 9 Oscuro. I have always had bad luck with this cigar, but let’s hope it changes today.
This year Summer Solstice was yesterday (20th June). Since the calendar is not aligned perfectly to earth’s orbit, some years it is on 20th or 22nd June.
I did not know this till yesterday

Relaxing with the dog under a messy carport. Placencia Reserva Original with an Angry Orchard.
Having bowl of 2024 CD Steamworks on this hot day in a Peterson 309 standard system with a PLip, going to preload the 03 Rosslare with some 2019 MacBaren BLB
Just put flame to mine as well I had a bit of hesitation with the 309 to start with but after a bowl or 2 with it I was hooked
Pegasus in a Nording extra. It's hard to tell, but the sides are squared off a little, which makes it nice to hold. This is a beast of a pipe 
KBV Burley Morning Pipe in a Ardor Giove Fantasy Bent Apple 
Because it will soon be gone, and because I only have one tin stashed, I bought a pound of MacBaren ODF....um....ready rubbed.....broken flake....whatever it is. Scraps from the flake tining process I'd imagine.
Having some in my Excelsior.

Hi there old Friends! I haven’t posted in a long time. I’ve started a business and have a new beautiful lady. Both are exciting and taking up a lot of my time. Relaxing after some yardwork with some Bill Bailey’s Balkan Blend in a Radice.
Spent this morning with a sample of Tashkent in a Wally Frank 5 star made in London prince. Black coffee to drink. Very enjoyable! I received a box of Peretti samples from @JoeW that are much appreciated! 
Balkan Sasieni in a Tonni Nielsen No. 3 cherrywood.
Last bowl of Craven’s Wing in a Vauen Ambrosi. This 2 oz bag was forgotten about and lost hidden behind some other bags at Rich’s in Portland. Bill was astonished to see it there and said it hadn’t been blended in years, since Steve was blending there. Since it was bagged several years ago in a zip lock bag, I expected the flavor to be a bit muted. It must be the excellent atmosphere of the shop or something but this was mouth-watering and strong with flavor. It has dropped off quite a bit since I got the bag in February… should have gone through it faster. Still a treat though!
My advice is not to mow, have another pipe with a pot of hot green tea, for variety. I think, above all man's inventions, I hate lawn mowers the most. A scythe is a better tool for that unkempt, organic look.
After my experiences so far with the Brog Scoot, like, man, I GET this pipe! Love it!
