I've also been away from the pipe for a bit. Today I finally got around to enjoying a bowl of OGS in my trusty MM Washington cob, followed by some GH BFA in the same, which was really quite nice.
Amazing how well an $8 cob performs. I have some nice briars, but I always seem to reach for this humble cob first.

Thanks Buddy. It’s been hard staying away. You guys are my enablers, and I am genuinely curious to see if not smoking improves the cough ( it hasn’t), so I’ve tried to resist temptation by not participating in pipe talk. But…….
I’m done with this experiment. I’ll probably catch a rash from all the shit the wife will give me, but the peace and relaxation I receive from a bowl of my favorite tobacco helps to dull the sting.
Also, my liver asked for a crutch.
Cheers!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm half way through this bowl of aged Rattrays Hal O’ The Wynd in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII (Comoy’s) Corinthian De-Luxe 126 pot made for Sutliff in San Francisco with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching Patton, and cleaning a few pipes.
St Bruno in my Kaywoodie 42 apple on a cool but still night.
Capstan Gold Flake in a Savinelli Giubileo d'Oro Smooth Natural (627) (Legacy Stock) Bent Egg.
Pipe mudded the base of this 1904 Barling saddle-stemmed bent billiard with slotted bit.
A generous gift from @ashdigger
The previous owner had worn a deep groove in the base with over-enthusiastic use of pipe cleaners
Now to build some cake over the base
A home blend of Sam Gawith’s Golden Glow and C&D blending Izmir in a 2:1 proportion

What more to say for a Saturday Evening?
Just saw one of my favorite guitarists, Molly Tuttle. Was an awesome weekend full of bluegrass. Now to make half the drive home. This should last me - a bowl of G&H Burley and Bright, and a Serie D No. 4
Enjoyed a tasty red delicious apple, and am a third of the way through this bowl of Watch City Original Crumb Cut in a 1950s-60s straight smooth brown Bertram 07 octagonal paneled billiard with a square shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Off to work I go.
Next up is another home blend of 50:50 Esoterica Tilbury and C&D red Virginia ribbon
In a 1913 Barling Opera with a straight army mount stem, orific bit

HH Pure Virginia in a Castello 1982 great line cherrywood.
Germain’s Hampton Flake from February 2018 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Now smoking Wilke No. 78 in a quarter bend smooth dark brown small bowl 2016 Brigham Algonquin 226 Rhodesian with a long black vulcanite tapered stem. Working and listening to Cape Cod Mysteries.
2 short smokes left me wanting more
The 1st bowl was only 1/2 a bowl as I wanted to season the bottom half of the chamber
The 2nd bowl, nice as it was, only lasted 20mins in the Opera.
So a rare 3rd straight bowl of Mixture 79
In a Peterson Sport P-lipped straight billiard shape 7.
Made in the Republic of Ireland

A crackhead I once knew told me you have to put the pipe down every once in a while, he was a nice crack smoker and I took his advice. It feels good to be back with some Old Joe Krantz in this Sav Mattone 106 with Jupiter grain. 
Smoked some more EGR out of a Rossi 320 when I got home. Now smoking Velvet in a cob.
