First ever smoke of Quiet Nights. This tin is less than a year old, but it tastes kinda old. Dense, even. I'm a huge Westminster fan, and probably an even bigger Star of the East Flake fan. This reminds me of a more intense SOTE. I like it so far. Coulda probably used some dry time, but now I know for next time. I bought this tin from SP and never got around to smoking it. Couldn't tear myself away from Westminster. A week or two after I bought it, I found a tin of it at a B & M that I had recently started frequenting. It was cheap and had about 5 years of age on it, so I grabbed it. Can't wait to try that tin after I smoke through this one.

Now smoking GLP Meridian in a Savinelli Roma 320. Anchor Steam is the beverage.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, French cut pork chops and asparagus dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm almost half way through this bowl of year 2010 Full Virginia Flake in a slight bend 1968 group 4S Dunhill Shell 475 cherrywood with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Took the recommendation of @mso489 and a couple of other esteemed Burley men and bought a tin of C&D Riverboat Gambler. My first bowl in an Ashton Pebble Grain XX
And I only paid twenty bucks for it at a Tinderbox!
Reveling in the bliss of a freshly opened tin of McCranie’s 1996 Red Ribbon in the Pete Pot. This stuff is truly amazing.
Solani 633: Silver Flake was on the menu all day today - on the left is my jarred 2011 tin and the stuff on the right is a recent purchase (the tin code says Jan 2019). Spent today playing taste the difference in an (infrequently used) Oom Paul:
The end of the workweek for me. Enjoying a delicious bowl of Sutliff 507-C in a rusticated Rossi.
At work with some Amphora Burley in a little devil acorn
Klondike Gold in an early 1930’s MLC Linkman Dr. Grabow w/ Ambera Stem
Break in with a bowl of Nor'Easter from WCC.
Enjoyed a tasty navel orange, and am now smoking Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard with a black acrylic tapered stem. Watching The Kennel Murder Case starring William Powell as Philo Vance.
It's the top pipe.

I got one of those cobs as well but haven't smoked it yet. How's it treating you?
It smoked really well for bowl #1, I really like the aesthetic. I could see reaching for it quite often.
A quarter of the way through the last of this tin of year 2013 Capstan Blue in a 2015 Ryan Alden quarter bend burgundy sandblasted Queen of Hearts freehand with a black acrylic saddle stem. Didn't quite have enough to fill up the bowl entirely.
Forgive the cross-thread contamination, but you look like you just spent 700 pounds for an extra 1.1 inch in that photo!
