Peterson Nightcap in a Nording Freehand. Not as impressed with the tobacco as some, but man, that is a very fine pipe!
A freshly opened tin of Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake, in a MM patriot
Late 19th - early 20th cent. pencil shank GBD with canted tulip shaped bowl
+ Mac Baren CLUB BLEND (roll cake)
A popular shape of the late 19th - early 20th cent. for meerschaums and Continental - not English - clays of the period although it is a bowl shape redolent of the 'Midlands style' English clays of the 1640s - 1660s:-
Some of the other typical meerschaum pipe shapes of the late 19th - early 20th cent. can be seen in the Harrods catalogue of 1895:-

Half way through this bowl of Wilke High Hat in a 1990 Peterson Irish Second Hungarian natural with a tapered black vulcanite fish tail stem.
Nightcap in a Peterson Ebony Killarney, listening to Dexter Gordon.
While basking in the bright afternoon backyard sun, I enjoyed a Dreams of Cuba corona gordo cigar, hand-rolled by Lazaro Victores of Tarpon Springs, that my wife bought me on her last trip to Florida. I paired it with wee dram of The Macallan 12.
A minute or two away from smoking Low Country Pipe & Cigar Natural Virginia & Burley in a 2020 straight black sandblasted Merchant Service “Bing” Standard with a nickel band and black vulcanite tapered stem.
Krater-Plug in a Leeds-era Walnut. First real rain of the year today. What a welcome change.
This was from yesterday. Odd it didn't post...

Falcons seem to be out of stock everywhere I look. It's the going theme for everything I want to purchase.
Margate in a Sav 622KS. Earlier I had WCC Double Barrel in a Stanwell 407.
G.L Pease Gaslight in a homemade Churchwarden
A Jim Inks-ian smoke of EGR blend in a nicely grained Jack Howell lovat (heading out to deck...the Mrs. would gut me if I lit up in the kitchen).
First time smoking EGR. Smelled the latakia very clearly on popping the tin, very faint topping (at best). That surprised me. On first few puffs...bitter, almost like KDF. That may have been taste buds/mouth chemistry from dinner. As it settled in...quickly...a very pleasant 'old school', mellow tobacco core taste. I get the topping much more in the puffing than the tin note....kinda red wine? If I push the pace it starts to fill out the flavor with a deeper tobacco note...lay back on pace it's a sweeter mix of top note and light Burley. Though the top note is very different, it's a flavor I'm becoming more accustomed to in smokes like SWRA.
Digging...will buy more. I can see how this would be a nice 'session' smoke.
