A quarter of the way through this bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
Homemade VaPer mix with 5100 as a base in a Kaywoodie relief grain poker.
Barclays Rex “Maiden Lane Mixture” in a Savinelli Giubileo D’Oro
Petite.
Petite.
Now smoking the last of this pouch of Ken Byron Ventures Verge Engine Retrodrive in a medium bend 1983 Ascorti New Dear KS with a black acrylic stem. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
2011 Dunhill Flake in a Brian Ruthenberg Apple.
Squadron Leader in a Peterson's Ashford. Listening to the Psalms audiobook.
Home mix, the last of a tin of Haddo's, some unflavored Black Cavendish, maybe some Semois, in a nice light weight Ropp "Tonic," bright dark red stain, straight billiard with a tapered dark-dark red stem and two thin silver colored bands, nifty little pipe. This mix is really dry and burns well, evenly.
Almost half way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Spaghetti Western in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a gold and black swirl acrylic stem.
A ways down this bowl of Dunhill Nightcap in this large Jacono Jack. Truly one of my favourite pipes and I got it for a steal during the summer. I wonder why Jacono isn't talked about more often here. The engineering on this piece is spot on and the briar is near perfect. If you think the straight-grain is nice, you need to look at the heel of this pipe!
Smoking C&D/Warped The Haunting in a Boswell Plateau Billiard.
Several months of aging have mellowed the Criollo, and it takes a bit of a backseat to the Virginias. Nice sweetness on the initial draw, with a leathery, tannic, carmelized sugar note on the backend. Voluminous smoke.
I really like this blend. While the Criollo isn’t the strongest cigar leaf, it provides a sufficient cigar flavor, and works well with the Virginias. Glad I set aside a sufficient stash of this.

2012 Solani 660 Silver Flake in a Castello Collection Occhio di Pernice Dublin.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch and am now smoking year 2014 HU Directors Cut in a smooth straight Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Going to work in a couple of minutes.
Sutliff Match Elizabethan in a floral/dragon motif meer by Hüseyin, with coffee.
Jim, can you post the picture of this pipe? I've seen the picture a while back, and it such a gook-looking pipe, I'm sure other folk would love to see it. Myeah...
Smoked a small bowl of Sir Walter Raleigh in a Falcon on my drive into work this morning.
Finishing the day with a mix of Condor Long Cut and Mc Barens Old Dark Fired in a Stanwell 29 Royal Price
Sutliff Burley J4 in a Mark Tinsky Black and Tan Bulldog
