Haddos Delight in a Road Town poker on a very overcast day.
After not having it last night, I popped my tin of Visions of Celephais (in front of me so I can spell it this time). And, yes: Wow, grape. We'll see how this goes. In my Briarworks author, which may be fully and permanently dedicated to aromatics after this.
Oh, and a late/after the fact bird report from last night, as I was outside: We had one of the few hawks that patrol our area fly through, land, hang for a while but then take off unsuccessfully. I believe it was one of the Cooper's Hawks.

Did a brisk set of walking reps on this sunny day, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.
Solani Silver Flake in a BST Bent Billiard.
Enjoyed a tasty cinnamon raisin French toast lunch with orange slices on the side. I've about a quarter of a bowl left of Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.
Big Ten tourney continues. Iowa will need to play well to beat Rutgers. Peterson 999 “short”/Story Teller’s Pipe Sweet Galenas. 
WCC Glass Slipper in a BriarWorks OR02 sandblasted strawberry.
D&R Three Sails in a Peterson Deluxe System XL5s.
Now smoking Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
Smoking some Carolina red flake with perique in a foundation by musico sandblasted Dublin. Happy smokes all! 
Good afternoon @UncleRasta. I really enjoy the #558 flake. It’s a wonderful Va/Per with stoved virginias that gives it a deep, rich, tangy sweetness that I love. It comes in more of a crumble cake than a flake. If you wait until April 1st, you can order #558, Old Dominion, and Rouxgaroux. That is a threesome of some of the tastiest Va/Pers around, in my humble opinion.
P.S. - Liverpool’s victory over Chelsea in the League Cup was one of the best matches I’ve witnessed in a long while. Congratulations!
I’m also glad to see that you shook the bug that had you down. Sounds like you’re back in the saddle.
Here’s a photo of the flakes.
